ᐅ How can I make the best use of IKEA Brimnes furniture in small apartments?

Created on: 10 May 2024 18:23

Hello everyone, I am currently planning to completely furnish my apartment and have taken a special interest in the IKEA Brimnes series because it is affordable and offers plenty of storage options. Since I only have a small apartment of about 35 square meters (377 square feet), I would like to understand how to use the Brimnes furniture most effectively without overcrowding or making the space impractical. I am especially interested in the flexible use of the dressers and beds, some of which come with built-in storage. Are there any experiences on how to efficiently combine these pieces to maximize storage while maintaining an open and functional living atmosphere? I would also appreciate tips on how to save space smartly with the Brimnes wardrobe or TV unit. Thanks in advance!

I would arrange the dresser and TV stand on opposite walls to better divide the room. If the dresser is placed too close to the TV stand, the space can quickly feel cluttered. Additionally, it is practical to use the dresser as storage near the entrance, if possible.

Small apartments are like great games—you need the perfect combo move! ? Place the Brimnes dresser in a seldom-used corner, and the TV stand opposite it, so you create two distinct areas—one for relaxing and one for organizing. And hey, use the bed drawers for all those things that usually end up lying around. This way, everything looks tidy and spacious without turning your living room into a furniture maze!

I support the advice to place the chest of drawers and TV stand separately. For small rooms, it is important to keep pathways clear. The Brimnes chest of drawers often provides space for small items with its indented corners.

I have the Brimnes dresser next to the door so I can quickly store jackets and shoes, and the TV stand is on the opposite wall. This works great because both are items you frequently need and are within easy reach without blocking the room.

For even more storage in a small space, try mounting shelves above the Brimnes chest of drawers on the wall. This way, you make use of the vertical space and have a neat area for decorations or books without losing any floor space.

Thank you all for the tips so far. Here is a summary of the key points I have taken away:

- Use the Brimnes bed with drawers as storage for bedding and clothes
- Place the dresser and TV stand on opposite walls to help define the space
- Use shelves or wall-mounted solutions above the dresser for additional storage
- Manage cables at the TV stand to keep things tidy
- Maintain clear zoning and subtle decoration to preserve the openness of the room

Does anyone have practical experience with the Brimnes wardrobe in small apartments? I am considering including it as a wardrobe plus extra storage without it overwhelming the room. Any tips on how to integrate it would be appreciated.
