IKEA Just Made a Huge Change to the Best-Selling HEMNES Bookcase, and It Looks Amazing

It’s time to bring some calm and harmony into your space, as well as your book collection. IKEA just released its popular HEMNES bookcase in a calming new gray-green color that will definitely add a soothing element to your living room, bedroom, or home office. And just like the HEMNES you already know and love, this one comes with customizable features to make it fit your unique needs.

The IKEA HEMNES is a solid wood bookshelf with adjustable shelves that allow you to fully customize the piece. Only one of the shelves is stationary for stability purposes, but the others can be removed and reinstalled at varying heights. 

The bottom shelf can also be popped out to make room for cords or power strips, if you plan on using the HEMNES for electronics. And don’t worry if your space has uneven floors — this comes with levelers in the feet so you can just twist the necessary adjusters to keep it steady.

The HEMNES comes in a handful of different stains and finishes, but this gray-green version is brand-new and perfect for spaces that already have a relaxing feel. It adds a subtle pop of color that still feels somewhat neutral and versatile, and it’s particularly on-trend with the rising contemporary English cottage aesthetic. 

“Just what we needed to add to our bedroom for all our books and movies, perfect size,” one IKEA shopper wrote about the HEMNES. “Love the pop of color it added to our bedroom.” Someone else added, “It is perfect for small spaces and compact areas. It fits a great deal of books and decorations. Easy to assemble and not very heavy for one person to put together.”

Pick up the IKEA HEMNES in its new color to give your favorite reads a comfy and stylish place to live in any room. All you have to do is assemble it and you’re ready to style — no painting required!
