Hello everyone, I am planning to assemble several IKEA Hemnes furniture pieces in a very small apartment and am looking for the best strategies to make the most of the limited space. My main questions are: How can I arrange the Hemnes series to save space without sacrificing storage or functionality? Are there recommended combinations or ways to modify or position individual pieces so they don’t feel overwhelming in a small room? I am also interested in any practical tips for assembly that take room space into account, such as adjusting installation or special assembly methods. I would appreciate experiences with small rooms where Hemnes has worked well, as well as advice on what to watch out for when purchasing or assembling. Thanks in advance!

Are there recommended combinations or ways to redesign or arrange individual pieces of furniture so they don’t feel overwhelming in a small room? In general, it is advisable to use furniture with clean lines and as little depth as possible in small spaces. The Hemnes series offers various options with depths of about 35–48 cm (14–19 inches). For example, you can combine the Hemnes two-door wardrobe (about 37 cm deep (15 inches)) with a dresser that has a depth of 48 cm (19 inches) and provides more storage but might be placed on a less cramped wall.
To save space, it’s also important to position furniture away from walls where there are radiators or windowsills, to ensure air circulation and maintain comfort.
Assembly can be simplified by carefully reading the instructions and sorting all parts beforehand. For small rooms, IKEA sometimes offers assembly services if setup is difficult, which can be helpful in particularly tight spaces.
Important for small rooms: Avoid placing furniture directly in front of windows or doors whenever possible. This reduces natural light and limits movement space. For Hemnes furniture, a few tall pieces are more effective than many small ones.
Also, make use of the space under furniture, for example with shallow boxes or furniture sliders with wheels, to use the floor area as additional storage.

I therefore recommend planning the assembly so that the furniture remains in its final location.This is a very important tip, especially for the Hemnes series, which is indeed less easy to move due to the material and weight.
Another tip: When combining shelves, you can also create corner solutions using angles or heavy books to give the impression of more depth.
I have also had good experiences when two people are involved in the assembly, placing the furniture with some distance between them to avoid damage to the walls. Good luck with your project!
