Hello everyone, I’ll start this thread with the following question: How can the Ikea Hemnes furniture range be best used in a home office to create a functional, ergonomic, and at the same time comfortable working environment? I’m considering combining the Hemnes series for desk, shelving, and storage – especially because I find the classic designs very appealing – but I want to avoid it becoming impractical. Do you have any tips on the optimal layout, storage use, and maybe ergonomic adjustments to keep in mind when using Hemnes? Which combinations have been tested, particularly if you spend a lot of time working at the computer and want to keep documents easily accessible? Looking forward to your experiences and suggestions!
An important aspect when using Hemnes furniture in a home office is the optimal organization of storage space. Drawers and open shelves from the Hemnes series allow for different organization strategies:
- Drawers for loose office supplies (pens, notebooks)
- Open shelves for frequently used books or folders
Additionally, furniture should be arranged to ensure that walkways and freedom of movement are not restricted. Some flexibility in combining individual elements increases long-term usability.
From an ergonomic perspective, I also recommend investing in a good light source to help prevent eye strain.

I’m really thrilled with my Hemnes desk, which I combined with a wooden height-adjustable attachment!Hey, that sounds interesting! Could you describe the attachment in more detail and where you got it from? Or did you build it yourself? I’m looking for an affordable solution that matches the Hemnes style and fits well with the overall design.
Hello Simon-us, to address your concern: A simple solution is to place small, sturdy wooden blocks under the table legs, which can be stacked to reach the desired height. This is cost-effective and visually fits well with Hemnes furniture, as this style is classic and straightforward.
Additionally, Hemnes shelving units can be used perfectly as an addition to customize the workspace. For example, placing a half-height shelf behind the desk provides extra storage space and a visual separation.
