Brimnes

For a small bedroom, the IKEA BRIMNES storage bed ticks all the box. The beds come in full, queen and king sizes — all with 4 spacious drawers under the mattress. There’s also a smaller IKEA BRIMNES daybed with two drawers. The daybed looks like a twin bed but can…

I can’t end the year without our annual “Top 10” lists. It’s been an unusual year but I’m glad the IKEA hacking community kept doing what it does best — creating and repurposing even while locked down at home. For that, I tip my hat off to you guys. To…

The three BRIMNES cabinets strung together filled a long dining room wall as a credenza. Furthermore, their 37-3/8″ height filled vertical space in a room with a high ceiling better than a typical 30″ console/sideboard height.

The IKEA daybed — BRIMNES — is 1.5cm too long for the spare room. It’s the smallest daybed from IKEA. Hoping to swap the end panels for some thinner painted MDF but wondering if it’s structurally safe. Photo: IKEA.com Has anyone tried this? ~ by Anna…

I don’t like my TV as a focal point in my living space. So, I decided to take 2 IKEA BRIMNES bookshelves and make barn doors for them in order to hide the TV. I googled many, many “How-To’s” and combined various ideas other people had. And here it is!!!…

One problem with the Brimnes three door wardrobe is the lack of drawers. The unit comes with only three widely separated shelves in the right storage area. The Alex 9 drawer unit fits – after some cuts. Both the Brimnes wardrobe and Alex 9-drawer are $129. There is a shorter…
