Ikea Brimnes
Brimnes from Ikea is a series of Scandinavian furniture designed in a classic style, in light colors. It is distinguished by consistent light tones, straight lines, and the absence of patterns or complex shapes. With this series you can create a cozy space in any apartment or house, even in a small area.
The name of the series “Brimnes” comes from the Norwegian city of the same name, located on the shores of the Fensfjord. The design of this series is one of the most advantageous interior design options. Using elements like a daybed with drawers and a table, or a TV stand and a closet, you can create storage space in a minimal amount of living space.
A distinctive feature of Ikea Brimnes furniture: spaciousness. Such cabinets, for example, contain drawers and trays for storing things and linen. Like other series, Brimnes is distinguished by simple assembly, good surface quality, durable coating and discreet, discreet fittings. Perfectly combined with storage modules (textile, hanging). Blends with designer jewelry from Ikea.

IKEA chest of drawers - 100 photos of the best models and an overview of design trends
IKEA has been presenting its products on the furniture market in more than forty countries around the world for quite some time. They are famous for their excellent designs, for different interior styles and pricing for the average buyer.
I would like to pay special attention to the chests of drawers. These are practical small cabinets designed for installation in rooms such as a bedroom, living room, child's room, hallway, and used for storing various things: from bed linen, mittens, gloves, scarves, socks to cosmetics and more.
Accessories, materials, colors
Fittings for Ikea Brimnes furniture are selected taking into account the surface texture; as a rule, cabinets are equipped with small handles, round or flat. Color scheme: classic, predominant colors are white, black. Ikea designers advise combining Brimnes with bright home textiles, bedding in unusual colors, decorative elements and bright accents in the form of frames and photographs. White furniture decorates even a small apartment and looks decent in a living room, library, or office.
Modern couches are an excellent alternative to a full bed
Have you decided to update your bedroom interior? Have you already lost sleep over upcoming expenses? Ikea specialists are confident that the best cure for insomnia is a comfortable bed at an affordable price. A couch is the perfect solution!
The Brimnes couch is good for a small room and for a room that combines the functions of a living room and a bedroom. During the day it can be easily decorated under a sofa. At night it will become a comfortable sleeping place. If you have a separate bedroom with a large bed, then the place of the couch is in the living room.
Owners of comfortable furniture from the Brimnes series also say in their reviews that with the purchase of a couch, the decision of guests to stay overnight no longer takes them by surprise. It is not surprising, because this piece of furniture can easily and simply be transformed into an additional sleeping place.
How to place it in the interior and what to combine it with?
Thanks to standard sizes, Brimnes wardrobes or beds do not clutter up the space. All furniture is made in such a way as to bring maximum comfort to the owner during operation and not take up much space. The Brimnes rack will look good even in the kitchen, because you can place dishes or necessary kitchen items on it.
A wardrobe and dressing table are an ideal combination for decorating a bedroom or children's room.
What is the capacity of the closet?
The 3-door Brimne can easily fit an adult's wardrobe, including demi-season clothing, without additional shelves. The model is also suitable for children's rooms. In this case, we recommend installing additional shelves. Or equip a storage system in Ikea boxes and containers. It will not be possible to organize a large amount of small clothes with standard filling.
We recommend immediately looking for additional shelves. Capacity will increase significantly.
Assembly instructions
Assembling any Ikea furniture is a simple process, because each set of products is accompanied by clear instructions. By the way, if you wish, you can order the assembly in the store itself.

Brimnes cabinets cannot be called functional. They are more intended for bedrooms. Allowed to be placed in the country house. For living rooms, hallways, and kitchens, furniture of a different type is often chosen. If you really want, you can try installing a 2-door model, combining it with Brimnes open shelving, cabinets, and wall-mounted modular shelves. It is necessary to choose a single color scheme and play it correctly.
Use in children's rooms is a controversial issue. The coating quickly gets dirty and damaged. But the low cost is captivating. Suitable as a temporary solution. The assembled cabinet will need to be screwed to the wall.

Daily use
The designers of the Ikea factories are convinced that all the power is in the little things. They carefully check the quality characteristics of furniture from all collections, including Brimnes. Here are just a few aspects that experts take into account to make the buyer's life easier:
- Anything can happen. That's why all Brimnes beds, couches and wardrobes are thoroughly tested for fire safety.
- All upholstery fabrics are tested for color fastness to ensure they do not fade when exposed to sunlight.
- The colors of furniture covers are very durable, so you will never have marks on your clothes or walls.
- Even after many washes, the removable covers of Brimnes couches retain their shape and bright colors.
- During production, upholstery fabrics are subjected to abrasive testing for thread strength and color fastness.

The models in the series belong to wall cabinets, but fastening materials are not included in the delivery set; they are selected individually, if necessary, depending on the wall material. To ensure that the chest of drawers fits perfectly into the interior, you just need to choose the right size.
Chests of drawers are recommended for rooms designed in country and Provence style. The remarkable thing about them is that they are made from untreated pine; the rough cut of the wood can be seen with the naked eye.
The choice of means for treating the surface of such a chest of drawers falls on the buyer, because wood coated with various materials will change its original color.
It is still recommended to process it to extend its service life and ease of use. You can apply wax, stain or varnish.
