Remember the inspiration post I did on Ikea Kallax and Expedit furniture makeovers? Well I’m back today with a post about Ikea Hemnes line furniture makeovers! Hemnes is a line of traditional-style bedroom, living room, and bathroom furniture. From nightstands to bed frames; dressers to vanities; and tables to shelving units, Hemnes probably has something to fit your needs.
Since Hemnes pieces are mostly made of solid wood, they are a hair pricier than some of the other Ikea items, but they are also a bit sturdier. You can browse the entire Hemnes series on Ikea’s website here, or you can filter the bedroom, living room, or bathroom items.

Buying Hemnes…
If you’re lucky enough to live near an Ikea, you can easily get your hands on a new Hemnes piece. Also, if you’re in a city with a high Craigslist turnover, look for Hemnes pieces for great secondhand prices.
If neither of these options work for you, Ikea’s shipping is steep (usually $99), so shipping might not be worth it unless you’re buying a lot of stuff. You might want to consider browsing Hemnes products here via Amazon instead, thought they are still pricey because Ikea ships them.
If you search Hemnes on Amazon, though, you’ll notice a lot of pieces from the company “South Shore Furniture.” I can’t speak to their quality, but they are Ikea knock-off pieces designed to look like the Hemnes line. Better prices, though, so it might be worth a shot if you’re interesting in getting a piece to customize.
