Customize IKEA furniture

Customers often choose IKEA design due to its original and yet timeless properties. Now you can give your furniture even a more personal touch. Customize IKEA furniture using many available replacements like cabinet legs, handles, doors, or whole sideboards. Design your original style with colours and materials that suit you best.

How to customize IKEA furniture?

Many people assume that customizing furniture requires special DIY skills and access to many specialistic tools and devices. Thanks to Noremax, you don’t need to be a specialist or a hardcore DIY enthusiast to customize IKEA furniture. We provide a wide range of replacements for doors, legs, and other elements. With almost 2000 colours, many materials and different design details to choose from, you can create a fully customized space without necessarily replacing the whole furniture set.

The first look is most important

If you are bored with your old furniture set or need some changes at home to feel better, you should probably change the visible details first. You can do so very easy by replacing old cabinet doors with IKEA custom fronts. The change of colour, material or just decoration details can make your furniture look different.

If you want to customize IKEA furniture to fit your everyday needs it is advisable to change other details as well. You can enclose your kitchen devices, change old cabinet doors with handleless doors or add different legs to your cupboards. Every change can make your everyday life work a little bit easier. Even a slightly different look can be an important change that could make you feel better and more at home.

Customize IKEA furniture with different systems and designs

If you have already purchased an IKEA set, you are probably familiar with the brand’s most famous furniture systems. You don’t have to check every detail for those systems yourself to fit the element you want to buy. Just find the fitting IKEA design and choose those elements you want to replace. Because we create our products to customize IKEA furniture, you can find them under known tags, such as:

• Besta is one of IKEAs storage systems. It is highly functional and comes in a lot of interesting variants. You can buy custom Besta doors and other elements, like legs and handles.
• Metod is a high quality, neat, customizable style. We provide a variety of elements and detailed designs that fit this particular kitchen system.
• Faktum – the most important feature of the Faktum-kitchen furniture is, that it is resizeable. We can resize parts of your cabinets and worktops if you want to rearrange them.

Mesh doors to make cabinets look lighter

Adding mesh doors instead of a solid wooden board is a very creative way to make your old cabinets look a lot better. We provide wire mesh and glass doors. These doors are the best for upper cabinets, where people often keep china and glassware. With a glass or mesh front, you can present the most decorative china sets to everyone who enters your kitchen.

The glass and openwork front also make cabinets look lighter. Combined with a bit higher situated legs, the entire kitchen looks as if there was a lot more air. If you like that type of design, try our mesh/glass cabinet doors. Those semi-transparent doors make your kitchen look more cosy and traditional, as the style reminds of vintage china closets.

It is worth noticing that glass or wire mesh is combined with MDF board. If you choose this type of front, it would be nice if the other cabinets matched this material. You can order a sample of the MDF board to check how it looks next to existing furniture.

Customize IKEA furniture to look more natural

The Scandinavian style looks better when the material appears all-natural. You can choose compressed bamboo, birch plywood with oak or ash veneer to get this effect. All these materials are available at Noremax. If you want the plywood to look more natural, you can avoid using any colouring substances. We can treat it with a clear lacquer instead. You can also choose one of three gloss finishes.

Wooden kitchen doors make the whole furniture set look more rustic. If you like that kind of design, then bamboo, birch, ash and oak are the best choices.

Wooden replacements can look however you prefer. We provide an option to paint it with any colour of your choice. Just make sure what kind of effect you want to achieve.

Go eco-friendly with bamboo kitchens

If you haven’t already, try the IKEA bamboo kitchen design. Check out our Bamboo+ collection. It is not only natural-looking and durable material. Bamboo is also probably the most environment-friendly due to its regrowing capacity.

It is a type of grass rather than a tree, so it grows faster, and you don’t have to remove all the plants to obtain the raw material. Due to its properties, it reduces the carbon footprint. These and many more reasons justify its use in the furniture industry.

Bamboo is also a good material for any room with higher moisture and frequent temperature fluctuations.

Details to further customize IKEA furniture

Sometimes it’s the details that make the most difference. If you want to customize IKEA your furniture consider changing legs or handles on your cabinets. These small items may also be a part of a bigger project to make your room or kitchen look precisely like you want.

On our website you can find details especially made for given furniture system, for example, IKEA Besta legs, or a more universal range of handles in different colours and shapes.

You can choose the hand-free technology for your IKEA doors. To not choose handles can be a significant detail too. It can make your furniture look smoother and even futuristic.

In more traditional looking cupboards, for example, those with wired mesh doors, cute wooden knobs and decorative legs can be the best details. They nicely complete the look of the entire set and emphasize the character of the design.

The purpose of a plinth

The plinth is used as a completion of a cabinet in many modern furniture sets, especially in the case of kitchen cabinets. This element is used mainly to hide the furniture legs. Some people prefer decorative and visible legs, and access to that area under the cupboard, but many clients want to hide that gap with a matching wooden board.

Customize IKEA furniture by choosing a plinth that matches the colour of your replaced fronts and side plates. For every style of sideboard front, there is a matching plinth. You can find it on our website, below the main parameters of every given front or sideboard. The best way to choose a plinth is when you already know what the other parts of your cabinet will look like.

We have wardrobes too!

Although most of our products are created with kitchen furniture in mind, we also provide furniture for any other room (except for the bathroom). You can find a lot of options to customize your wardrobes. We have a lot of style options, for example:

• Diamond, with the diamond-shaped pattern engraved on wardrobe fronts.
• Escape, with a long, vertical rectangular grip in the middle of the wardrobe front.
• Nordic is a minimalistic, natural-looking design.
And many more.

Whether you need a wardrobe for your bedroom, hallway, or any other room, you have many options to choose from. With such a variety of options, you can create the perfect storage, matching your taste and needs.
