Hello everyone, I am considering combining my IKEA Hemnes furniture with LED lighting to create more atmosphere and functionality. However, I am unsure how to do this best without affecting the appearance or having to carry out complicated modifications. Are there any proven methods or products to discreetly and appropriately integrate LED strips, spotlights, or other lighting ideas? I am especially interested in options for Hemnes display cabinets and wardrobes, as well as dressers. It would be great if you could share tips on suitable LEDs, power supply, and cable routing to ensure a tidy look without damaging the furniture. Thanks in advance!

I equipped my Hemnes display cabinet a few months ago with warm white LED strips, which I attached inside along the upper edges. That sounds really nice. I also have Hemnes furniture and have found it difficult so far to find a good place for LEDs that doesn’t make them too prominent. How did you hide the cable so that it doesn’t stick out or cause any disturbance? For me, that’s still the biggest challenge.

How did you hide the cable so that it doesn’t stick out or cause any obstruction? It’s quite simple: I routed the cable along the back of the furniture and secured it with small cable clips. The clips are so tiny that they’re barely noticeable. I also kept the cables as short as possible to avoid any excess hanging out. If the back panel can be removed, you can hide the cable behind it – this looks very clean!
Before installing the LEDs, I would recommend thoroughly cleaning the furniture to ensure the adhesive tape sticks well. Additionally, dimmable LED drivers are useful if you want to adjust the brightness. Otherwise, the installation is straightforward, and the result looks really impressive.
