The furniture is classic, contemporary and inexpensive. In addition, this basic furniture can be individualized in a few simple steps. Today I would like to show you a super simple but effective DIY idea. This can be implemented in 5 minutes and turns e.g. your IKEA Hemnes chest of drawers into an eye-catcher.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-4.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-4-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-4-1440x1103.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-4-1536x1177.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-4-800x613.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For this quick and easy DIY, first look for new handle knobs according to your taste. I opted for these stylish and noble handles in marble look, because I think the contrast skillfully highlights the dark wood of our Hemnes bedside table. Incidentally, I found these handles on AliExpress for CHF 1.50 each &#8211; if you have a little patience I can warmly recommend you to order them there. Alternatively, you can of course also repaint the existing handles, e.g. with a gold spray.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115054\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-6.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-6-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thechicadvocate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Home-DIY-easy-6-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now I have a previous picture for you &#8211; I already liked the bedside table before, but I think the dark handles look a bit gloomy. And then I like the after picture a lot better. The handles can easily be unscrewed from the inside and replaced with the new ones. I think the effect is great. Since I was enthusiastic about the idea, I also got matching handles for my IKEA Hemnes dressing table, which is also in the bedroom.
