Product Information

The IKEA Forest Positive Agenda for 2030 set out to improve forest management, enhance biodiversity, mitigate climate change and support the rights and needs of people who depend on forests across the whole supply chain and drive innovation to use wood in even smarter ways. The agenda focuses on three key areas: Who knew a Hemnes dresser (or three) could be transformed into the most stylish at home office desk?

At IKEA, we work with strict industry standards to promote responsible forestry. We don’t allow any wood in our supply chain from forest areas that are illegal or contain high conservation values or from forest areas with social conflict. Wood is the material most commonly associated with IKEA furniture, and for good reasons. It’s renewable, recyclable, durable, ages beautifully and it is an important part of our Scandinavian design heritage. Urska, of @caricasveta.si, first sanded the top and stained it her preferred color. She then primed the drawers and painted them in a grey chalk paint. Finally, she swapped out the knobs for small brass ones for a smarter finish. We hope you’ve been inspired by some of these ideas. If you were about to throw that Ikea Hemnes dresser out or give it away, STOP! You can do something really creative with it! I then painted the piece with two coats of Sherwin Williams Notable Hue using their ProClassic line of paint.

I used a mini foam roller and a 1" brush to apply Zinsser All Coat (color matched to Farrow and Ball Railings). They have simply used three slightly different shades of pink to create an ombre effect on the Hemnes drawers. They have removed the top of the Hemnes and replaced it with a bare solid wood top to create a bit of contrast to the white dresser. There are several great pieces of furniture in the Ikea Hemnes range and we are going to look at a few of them. From dressers to beds and shoe storage to wardrobes.

We then cut thin strips of beading to size with corners at 45 degrees and used No Nails adhesive to attach them to the inside of the panels on each drawer. The matt effect of the chalk paint really helps emphasise the darker colour in this room. Classic White and Wood Hemnes Dresser The decal is specially made to fit an Ikea Hemnes dresser and there are several other designs to choose from. We’d had the dresser since we got married and knew it was time to change it up a bit. We were intrigued by the different trending greens and wanted to go out of our comfort zone and add some mid-tones to our dining room.It has been completely transformed into a stunning French country style pantry with a dark green paint job and some gorgeous antiqued mirror glass. Forests contribute to maintaining balance in the atmosphere, purify the air that we breathe and are part of the water cycle. They nourish wildlife biodiversity and provide homes for indigenous communities who depend on forests for their livelihoods. 90% of plant and animal species living on the planet need forests to survive. They provide sources of food, fuel, timber and many other ecosystem services that we rely upon. For many years, IKEA has partnered with businesses, governments, social groups and non-governmental organisations to fight forest degradation and deforestation and increase the volume and availability of wood from responsibly managed forests both for our own supply chain and beyond. How many times have you looked at your tired old IKEA Hemnes dresser and thought you must give it that makeover you've been meaning to for the last few months? You're not alone. Here they have added some simple rectangular gold trims to the drawer fronts. You can find some even more ornate panels in their range though. Victorian Cast Iron Effect Hemnes Shoe Storage

He made some feet to raise it enough to fit the skirting trim along the bottom so it had a more period vibe.
