What about the surfaces if you want something durable? Are there specific paints or sealants you would particularly recommend for HEMNES?For increased durability, acrylic paints or specialized furniture lacquers are recommended, as they create a hard, easily wipeable surface. PU (polyurethane) coatings offer even better protection but are more challenging to apply. Proper surface preparation with light sanding is important to ensure good adhesion of the paint.
A quick addition about the restyling: I think it’s great to remove the finger grooves on Hemnes dressers and instead install suitable handles. This makes the piece of furniture look much more modern and personalized. There are plenty of designs available, so it really creates a nice effect!

Many people craft small stylish bookshelves from the HEMNES shelves by adding built-in LED strips.The idea of adding LEDs sounds exciting! How complex is it to retrofit a HEMNES shelf with LEDs? Do you need special electrician skills, or is some basic DIY ability enough? Are there preferred types of LEDs for installation?

How complex is it to retrofit an HEMNES shelf?For LED strips on HEMNES shelves, a standard 12 V LED strip is usually sufficient, which can be attached to the back panel or the underside of the shelves. Power is often supplied from a socket behind the furniture. Soldering or special electrical knowledge is hardly necessary if you use connectors. A drill hole for the cable may be required. If you want to be sure, an electrician can perform the final inspection.
