Hello everyone, I’m currently planning to furnish my bedroom with the Ikea Brimnes series and I’m looking for furniture pieces that go well with BRIMNES – both functionally and aesthetically. The BRIMNES furniture is rather simple, with clean lines and usually available in white or black-brown. I would like to know which other furniture collections or individual pieces you would recommend that fit well without disrupting the overall look. Maybe also items that expand storage space but still remain consistent in style, so no completely different designs. Are there any tried-and-tested combinations or practical tips for different interior styles with BRIMNES? Thanks in advance!

If you're looking to expand your storage with shelves or sideboards, you have several options from Ikea that go well with Brimnes:

- KALLAX series: Offers flexible shelving systems with 77x77 cm (30x30 inches) squares that you can customize individually. They have a simple and modern look but are open; if you prefer closed surfaces, you can order matching inserts.

- Ivar system: Made of solid wood, which you can paint as you like. The reddish wood finish contrasts with Brimnes, but you can create a uniform look by painting it.

- Hemnes sideboard: Features closed fronts and a classic yet subtle appearance. It has a somewhat rustic style, so you should coordinate the styles accordingly.

My recommendation: KALLAX with closed doors is modern and often fits well size-wise.

Tip: Pay attention to the distance between your bed and wardrobe to ensure everything flows smoothly.

Additionally, regarding storage: If you value a clean visual appearance, BRIMNES wall shelves are a great option because they are minimalist and can be mounted above the bed or dressers. This way, you make use of vertical space without cluttering the floor. This is especially an elegant solution for smaller rooms.

Regarding storage space, I am specifically looking for tips: BRIMNES already offers quite a lot, but I wanted to know if you are familiar with suitable shelves or sideboards from other ranges that work well as a complement for clothes or accessories?

Storage space can be optimized through several factors. Besides the recommended ranges, you might consider modifications: for example, enhancing KALLAX shelves with fabric or metal boxes to keep smaller items and accessories organized. Sideboards with drawer inserts also help with sorting. If you choose open shelving, maintaining a consistent organizing style is very important to keep things tidy.

Do you find drawers or open compartments more practical?
