JENSFRAHello everyone, I am currently planning to combine a Brimnes bed from Ikea with other furniture pieces from the same series or compatible Ikea product lines. I am particularly interested in how to achieve the best visual and functional combination of BRIMNES with, for example, dressers, nightstands, or wardrobes.
Are there any specific considerations regarding depth, height, or mounting that should be taken into account to ensure the pieces fit well together – for creating a cohesive bedroom setup? It would also be helpful to know how this works during assembly, whether special connectors or adjustments are needed to securely or visually join the furniture.
In short: How does the combination of BRIMNES with other Ikea furniture work, especially regarding exact measurements, materials, and functionality? Thank you for your tips and experiences!

The combination is quite simple since BRIMNES furniture is designed with dimensions similar to other Ikea series. Pay particular attention to the depth of the furniture – BRIMNES beds are about 206 cm long (81 inches).
Dressers and nightstands from the series fit well because they share the same height and surface texture. There are no special connectors from Ikea for assembly, but simple angle brackets can help securely join the furniture together.

Hello Jens, to answer your question in more detail: The BRIMNES series is deliberately designed for modularity, which you can see from the consistent depth measurements. Beds usually have a depth of 206 cm (81 inches), while other furniture pieces like dressers or nightstands have a depth of 41–48 cm (16–19 inches). This is important if you want to place pieces side by side.
This means that when combining with other IKEA products – for example, with KALLAX or Malm dressers – you should check the exact dimensions before purchasing. These series often differ in width and height as well as in materials and surface finishes.
One important point for assembly: IKEA does not explicitly supply connecting elements to “merge” furniture like BRIMNES beds with dressers. To securely and stably connect the furniture, we recommend using L-shaped metal brackets or screws with wall plugs. This prevents shifting and creates a unified look.
Furthermore, you should keep in mind that BRIMNES colors and finishes are usually matte white or have a light wood decor. If you add other series with different wood grain or lacquer finishes, the overall appearance may look less harmonious.
One more tip: Some users place LED strips between the furniture to create a visual separation or connection.
Could you specify which pieces you want to combine with BRIMNES? Then I can give you more specific recommendations.

This is exactly where my answer begins: The BRIMNES series is designed so that its furniture pieces have a uniform depth of 41 cm (16 inches), which makes it easier to integrate other products with similar dimensions. So, for example, if you choose BRIMNES nightstands or dressers, you’ll notice they fit well together because they share the same heights, depths, and finishes.
That’s a common question – there are no Ikea-specific connectors, but practical solutions are available:
- Metal brackets or furniture connectors from hardware stores are ideal for securely fixing furniture.
- You might also use small spacers to prevent pressure points.
Also, keep in mind not to restrict ventilation when placing furniture close together, especially with beds, to avoid moisture buildup.
Finally, here is a brief guide for combining furniture:
- Measure the pieces precisely beforehand, including wall clearances.
- Pay attention to color matching (usually around white or light finishes).
- Secure furniture with screws or bracket connectors.
- Optionally, integrate lighting if desired.
I hope this gives you a good overview! If you like, you can also share your room dimensions and the furniture you have in mind – then we can provide more specific advice.
