FakunaHello everyone,
I am currently planning the setup of my new living room and am considering purchasing some pieces from Ikea’s Brimnes range. However, since I don’t want to furnish the entire room solely with Ikea products, I’m wondering: Is it possible to combine Brimnes furniture with other pieces, especially regarding style, color, and material, without the overall look appearing chaotic or mismatched? I’m also interested in whether there are specific color or material combinations that work particularly well, or if that is mainly a matter of personal taste. Who has experience with this and can offer advice on how to create a harmonious furnishing when mixing Brimnes with other furniture?

Hey Fakuna,
Go ahead and combine it with BRIMNES!!! 😊 I have several IKEA furniture pieces together with my BRIMNES chest of drawers and bed, and it looks really great. The most important thing is to pay attention to color tones – BRIMNES usually comes in white, black, or high-gloss white, so you can easily mix in neutral colors like gray or light wood tones.
Also, the clean lines of BRIMNES are an advantage because you can add really stylish vintage or industrial furniture without the overall look becoming chaotic. Don’t be afraid to try it! From my experience, such a mix creates a very vibrant atmosphere.

Hello Fakuna,
In general, BRIMNES can be combined with other furniture series if a few considerations are kept in mind. BRIMNES is characterized by clean lines and simple, mostly neutral colors. This allows for flexible combinations with other designs. I would recommend starting with color harmony, for example, pairing white tones with white or light-colored furniture.
Materials such as wood or metal can work as contrasts but should not be too bulky in order to maintain a consistent room atmosphere. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to proportions, as BRIMNES is rather moderately sized, and very large pieces can quickly dominate the space.
Perhaps you could add some information about the room style, existing furnishings, and your preferred materials to your question. That way, more targeted advice can be provided.

Hello Fakuna,
I’m happy to provide a more detailed assessment of combining BRIMNES furniture with other collections. The BRIMNES series is characterized by modern, simple lines and a fairly neutral color palette—mostly white or black. This generally makes it very flexible for mixing and matching. However, there are a few factors to keep in mind:
- Material: BRIMNES is usually made of coated particleboard with a smooth finish. If you want to integrate wood or metal furniture as well, it’s important to consider compatible surfaces. For example, matte wood finishes work well with BRIMNES in white, as the contrast is not too harsh.
- Color scheme: Light-colored furniture pairs nicely with warm natural tones and subtle color accents. Black or high-gloss white can create strong contrasts with dark wood or matte gray pieces.
- Style: BRIMNES has a functional-modern look, so furniture that is also simple or minimalist fits best. Country-style or very ornate pieces usually seem less harmonious, unless you aim to create deliberate highlights or an interesting contrast.
- Proportions: Pay attention to similar sizes to keep the overall appearance balanced and calm.
The room itself, including light and color, also plays an important role. For that reason, I recommend placing furniture samples side by side or, even better, testing examples in the room with fabric swatches.
Which furniture exactly do you want to complement BRIMNES with, and in which room? We could discuss that in more detail.

In general, BRIMNES fits well with modern, clean-lined furniture. If you have other pieces in white, gray, or wood finishes, you can combine them without any issues. Just make sure the styles are similarly simple; otherwise, it can quickly look cluttered.

For example, I have a gray sofa and light wood floors, which work really well with the white of BRIMNES. It all feels open and fresh, even with different brands. So it’s definitely worth planning a color scheme.
