Choosing the perfect kitchen system is one of the most important decisions when designing your home. IKEA offers two popular options: METOD and ENHET. While both provide stylish and functional solutions, they cater to different needs in terms of customization, durability, and budget.
How to Style the IKEA HEMNES Series – Bookcase and Glass-Door Cabinet in Grey-Green

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.

A Classic Design with a Modern Colour Twist
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 Storage Combination
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.

Thoughtful Details
-
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.

Styling Tips for HEMNES
-
Combine with a bold wall colour for contrast and character.

Use LED lighting inside the cabinet to highlight displayed items.

Pair with a statement armchair or rug to create a reading corner.
