As a DIYer myself, I knew the Tarva dresser would be the perfect backdrop to create the perfect dresser for our little girl. Honestly, it is a classic dresser that doesn’t need much in terms of elevating it’s aesthetic. If you have followed along with my blog for a while, you’ll remember I’ve gone through many DIY versions for Avé’s Bjorksnas dresser. From dowel rods to painted pink, I transformed this piece into a sunburst dresser. The Hauga storage combination dresser would provide plenty of storage space.
Of course your home should be a safe place for the entire family. That’s why hardware is included so that you can attach the chest of drawers to the wall. This Malm dresser was transformed by simply creating a frame to add the dresser legs. As a result, this dresser went from modern and monochromatic to transitional and two-toned.
Fab IKEA Hacks to Make Your HEMNES Dresser Look Like a Designer Find
This way, every tree is put to good use that little extra. By using a renewable material like wood in this product, we avoid using fossil or finite materials. Furniture with included restraints must be secured to the wall according to the product’s assembly instructions. Different wall materials require different types of fixing devices.
Though it does require a bit of patience, this project is relatively simple and very affordable. Some prefer to disassemble the item and then sand each piece. I would probably go with that to make sure the orbital sander does a thorough job. If you rather not disassemble it , then sand the main flat surfaces with a sander and then use a sanding block or sandpaper for those pesky nooks and crannies. With only hardware and braces, this Malm dresser was elevated to a classic look in only 2 steps! You can order the hardware you desire and then spray paint the braces to match your hardware.

If you are limited on closet space, a larger dresser will provide plenty of storage. On the flip side, if you have a larger room then buying furniture that is too small for the space can make it look empty. Since you are starting out with a great price point, you can take your item and give it a fun facelift for a personalized look to match your beautiful space. Or, you can keep the item as is and let the simple design complement your baby’s room. IKEA has a vision to create a better everyday life for people. They offer well-designed and functional items for the home at prices very low and affordable to help achieve this vision.
Yes I have taken two Hemnes back and re-stained them what I wanted. The description above does work but all that sanding is lots of work so I used a wood bleaching technique which to save tons of typing the technique is on line. Both bookshelves to natural pine color in only hours. I did sand when I was done with 120 then 180 grit and ready to stain. You can find wood bleaching techniques on line and most home centers sell everything you need as well as most supermarkets in the laundry isle. To stain, get a piece of rag and dip a section into the stain of your choice.
Q: HEMNES stripped to natural wood?
I like to wear latex gloves when staining to protect my hands. The good thing is IKEA will update their website and can give you estimates on when they expect the item to be back in stock. At the time of this post, all Tarva dressers were out of stock but the 6 drawer chest was expected to be in stock within 2 weeks in their St. Louis store. So if you are on a deadline, this may not be a great option as it can be difficult to get quickly.
If you have limited space, you’ll need to decide what is important to you and the functionality of your nursery. When I’m looking for nursery furniture and a new piece for my kids’ rooms, I love to look at IKEA. Gone are the days where you have to have an IKEA store in your town to purchase their furniture. Now, you are able to look online and order your IKEA items just like you would any other store. From handmade pieces to vintage treasures ready to be loved again, Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods.
With your size measurements they will cut it onsite for you for FREE. Gives you a much more solid back and pretty piece when complete. In our case we ended up painting the units white while leaving the new backs natural with a clear coat to protect in the future. The Koppang line is another great option with great reviews.
Of course, you’ll want the furniture to actually fit in your room. Overly large furniture can make the room look cramped and small. If you have too much furniture, that can also have the same effect. One of the reasons I love IKEA is that they have such functional and good quality furniture for reasonable prices. Hemnes dresser provide lots of storage for diapers, bottles and oils. Changing knobs to vintage ones is a quick and cute upgrade of the dresser.
