While I love the functionality of the Ikea Brimnes Wardrobes (and also bed) I can't say that I love the handles that they come with. Truth: they're bulky, have no ability to hang anything on them and well, they're just not pretty. At all. Same goes for the handles on the bed. Plus the amount of times I've scratched my leg on them is probably unnatural. Thus, some changes had to be made. Like, I said before, I love the wardrobes and the $120 price is unbeatable for the amount of storage they offer. Before even purchasing them, I knew they needed a different handle situation. Of course it turns out that handles with this particular sizing were nearly impossible to come by. So I waited, continued to search, and waited. And then a couple of months ago I had the idea that maybe I should go back to Ikea and see what they had in terms of handles; even if it meant looking at their kitchen drawer pulls- which is exactly where I found these. While the stainless steel was a serious upgrade from the current situation I was concerned they wouldn't go that well with the rest of the room. Enter, Rustoleum Metallics in Gold (the same paint that brightened our hideous boob light). I opted for the gold, but looking back I would have gone with a deeper brass hue for more depth. I will say, even with the brighter gold they're a HUGE improvement to the previous handle situation and I can rest easy that I don't have to deal with those bulky handles any longer. The process was super easy and ridiculously budget friendly, the handles were $6.99 for a package of two (x3) and the spray paint was around $4. It's a definite win in my book. Before: After: Do It Yourself! What you need: Rustoleum Metallics in Gold or Brass 3 - 2 packs Ikea Lansa Handles in the 9 5/8 size (6 1/4'' holes) 1. Outside, lay down a drop cloth - I recommend plastic. 2. Line up the Lansa handles and spray each side evenly. Let dry and touch up as needed. 3. Let dry overnight and screw handles into the pre-drilled holes on the wardrobe.
Okay, so this Ikea Hack is not too mind blowing in the transformation but simple that anyone can do. Even doing the smallest things to change something

I love a good IKEA piece that grows with you. We got this Brimnes storage bed with the wardrobes around 4 years ago and I still stand by this purchase. Sure, I hate banging into the bulky handles (it's definitely caused dozens of bruises) but it's solid, holds a TON of stuff and does the trick for me. So, when we moved from our old place to our new I knew that I wanted to keep it around but give it a bit of a long overdue upgrade and finally ditch those handles. If you've been following along for a bit you know our wardrobes got a handle overhaul a few years back and then recently a lovely moody paint job when we painted the bedroom. It took a few months but we finally brought the bed up to the level of the rest of the room and of course it was worth the wait. We gave it a fresh coat of paint, Goodnight Moon trim by Clare and some new leather handles. I'd say this $400 bed looks a whole lot more expensive right about now.. I'll start with the painting which we found 100 times easier than the wardrobes and headboard. It's basically one big flat surface once you get the handles off. We started with a couple of coats of primer before two coats of Clare Goodnight Moon. We let it dry and touched up as needed. It was pretty quick and easy. Next up, handles. We wanted something that definitely didn't have sharp edges (my shin is ever so grateful) and opted for something a little more masculine but still worked perfectly with the rest of the textures and hues of the room. We initially had bought the leather to swap for the gold handles on the wardrobes when we painted them a few months back and never really got around to it. So we decided to do the bed first and then later the wardrobes if we liked it. Well, we love it and it was super easy to do. All you need is a leather strap (ours was 72"in long and 3/4"in) and mirror screws. Just take the original handles and measure the leather to be around that length. We opted for 10" to leave a little extra room for the handle to stick out a bit. We lined up the holes of the handles with the leather straps and marked it out. We only wanted a little bit of leather on the outside of the mirror screws but you can obviously go with what feels right for you. Next add the holes and screw those babies in. You might want to swap out the screws for nuts and bolts that are the same size head as your mirror cap but that's going to depend on the drawer you're working with- you want to make sure they're secure without damaging the material the drawer is made of. If I could do it over again I probably would opt for a wider strap like 1.5" - 2''in. - but I still love ours. What You Need JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.
