The IKEA HEMNES series is known for its timeless design, solid wood construction, and versatile storage options. In this article, we take a closer look at a stunning HEMNES combination in the grey-green finish with light brown stained shelves, filmed by Mauritz at the IKEA Berlin Waltersdorf store.
This showroom setup features a complete wall of storage that blends open shelving, glass doors, and spacious drawers – perfect for a living room, home library, or office.
HEMNES is often seen in white or black-brown, but the grey-green version brings a softer, more contemporary touch to the range. The muted tone works beautifully with natural wood details, creating a warm and inviting feel.
In this display, the furniture is styled against a deep blue wall (Brillux wall paint, NCS 6020-B), with a light oak laminate floor for balance. The contrast between the rich wall colour and the muted green cabinetry makes the HEMNES series stand out as a focal point in the room.
The combination in this showroom includes:
Two HEMNES bookcases – ideal for books, storage baskets, or decorative objects.
One HEMNES glass-door cabinet with three drawers – perfect for displaying items while keeping them dust-free, and for storing everyday essentials in the drawers below.
All pieces are made from solid wood, a renewable material that gives each item a natural look and feel. Adjustable shelves and feet make it easy to adapt the furniture to your needs and your space.
Glass doors with solid wood frames for a classic yet airy look.
Matching round wooden knobs that keep the design cohesive.
Deep drawers for hidden storage.
Open shelving to display books or décor.
Warm-toned shelves in light brown stain that complement the grey-green finish.
The Berlin Waltersdorf showroom styled the combination with woven storage baskets, art prints, and an eclectic mix of books to create a cozy, lived-in look.
Combine with a bold wall colour for contrast and character.
Use LED lighting inside the cabinet to highlight displayed items.
Mix books with decorative objects for a balanced, curated feel.
Pair with a statement armchair or rug to create a reading corner.
This HEMNES combination is both functional and beautiful – offering plenty of storage while adding personality to a room. The grey-green finish works well with both modern and traditional interiors, and the solid wood build ensures it will last for years.
Filmed by Mauritz at the IKEA Berlin Waltersdorf store, this setup shows just how versatile the HEMNES series can be when paired with the right colours and accessories.
