Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding furniture modifications, specifically with IKEA products: How easy is it really to customize the Brimnes range, for example dressers or beds? I am especially interested in the possibilities for design adjustments—whether these are mostly simple tweaks or if more extensive modifications and DIY skills are required.

Has anyone had practical experience with alterations, such as painting, attaching additional elements, or even replacing parts? What materials or tools are useful, and where are the limits of what can be done?

I’m looking forward to your insights and tips. I’m also curious about how much time and cost should realistically be expected for such projects. Thanks in advance!

For simple visual updates: sanding, paint, or applying a film. Changing handles is straightforward. For major renovations: avoid it, as the material is not designed for that.
