Sideboard legs for Bestå
If you want to change the appearance of your kitchen, one way to do it is by replacing furniture legs. Sideboard legs for Bestå can make your cabinets look prettier. It is recommended particularly if you like traditional kitchen design. But exposed furniture legs may look good also in combination with some modern styles. Let’s see what are the advantages when you use sideboard legs.
What are the sideboard legs for Bestå?
In modern kitchens, we seldom choose to show decorative legs. We prefer to use a plinth to mask the space under a cupboard bottom. However, vintage styles and fashions keep coming back from time to time. Sideboard legs for Bestå are created to show them. They may help you improve the appearance of a cabinet and even the entire kitchen interior design. They say that seeing is believing, so if you want to understand the difference between cabinets with and without legs, you can browse some IKEA kitchens images.
Both options are available for kitchen furniture created by IKEA. The traditional shaker cabinets and Scandinavian style sideboards look good with legs instead of a plinth, although you can always change your mind. With affordable replacements available at Noremax, you have many options to choose from. What’s more, a change in the kitchen design isn’t as expensive as removing the entire furniture set, because you can replace only the element you want to change.
Legs vs plinth
There are many pros and cons to any option. Let’s see if you should use a plinth or if exposed cabinet legs will be a better option.
Hidden legs can make your kitchen look smooth and neat. There is no semi-visible area that could catch your eye. It is a good solution for a modern kitchen, whether you want it to look futuristic or just up to date. You can order a plinth made of the same material and the same colour as the fronts of your cabinets. You can also use contrast colours to make the design more interesting and adventurous. Although Bestå cabinets are well secured due to wall mounting, they visually seem more stable without long legs and with bottom masked by a plinth.
Exposed sideboard legs for Bestå have some advantages over the plinth. First of all, they make furniture look light, because of the way our brain works. It assumes by default that something hanging or standing on a thinner base must be lighter than something with a solid base. If you want to make that impression in your kitchen, using decorative legs is the best way to do it.
Exposed legs can also have a positive influence on cleaning. Under the hidden cabinets’ bottoms dirt, pests and mould may accumulate. If you have that area open, you can easily sweep and wash it with a mop. There is also a lot more light and air which scares off some pests. Exposed legs combined with stainless steel cabinets from IKEA allow you to keep your kitchen exceptionally clean and easy to disinfect.
You can also use the space left under the cabinet for additional storage, which is another advantage when you choose exposed legs.
Adjust the plinth
If you prefer to add a plinth to your sideboard, we can provide you with many colour options to choose from. Plinths available on the Noremax website are made of 18 mm MDF boards. It is by default painted in the same colour as your front, although you can choose a brass colour for it or any other colour from NCS, Jotun or Farrow&Ball palettes.
To choose a plinth for your cabinet, you should scroll down the page of a chosen cabinet. If you want to order a standard plinth, just choose the size and number of elements and add them to your basket.
Sideboard legs for Bestå – styles and materials
If you choose sideboard legs for Bestå instead, these are the features that will help you customize your order:
Legs shape – All sideboard legs have a cone shape and comes in two sizes: 17cm or 30cm. The legs shape is decorative enough to match various different styles of the whole cabinet.
Material – sideboard legs for Bestå are made of beech wood. The natural colour of that material is almost white. It is very light and homogenous, and it makes the beech perfect for any colouring, from spray painting to staining. Beech is also a very durable material. It is considered hardwood. It is even denser than oak, which makes it ideal for stairs, furniture and construction elements.
Leg colours and gloss – we offer many options that will help you customize your product. You can order legs in natural colour. Another possibility is one of 12 stains. You can also choose one of many paint colours using codes from Jotun, Farrow&Ball or NCS colour palettes. To improve the visual effect, you can choose one of the three gloss finishes: matte, semi-gloss and satin. It is good to match this option according to your choice of gloss for the cabinet or wardrobe doors.
Metals – to make your sideboard legs look even fancier, you can choose one of four types of metal tips: brass, copper, chrome and black metal. If you have chosen metal IKEA cabinet knobs, you can choose tips that will match the material of your knobs.
What sideboard legs for Bestå will match the bamboo kitchen?
One of the more popular materials used for kitchen furniture is bamboo. It is neutral for the environment and very durable. It also looks natural and fits a perfectly minimalistic Scandinavian design. We provide replacements for the IKEA bamboo kitchen. These cabinets will look great with visible legs, but what kind of legs will be the best?
Unless you have very specific metal handles that will match it, you should probably drop the idea about metal tips.
Bamboo cabinets are available in two natural colours. A lighter one called Natural and one a bit darker called Caramel. They don’t match the whitish hue of beech wood. You have to stain your beech legs, to get the most fitting colour. Walnut stain will be the best option for Caramel, and Patinagra should look good with Natural bamboo.
Wardrobe legs
You may use sideboard legs for Bestå for wardrobes and cupboards as well. It is a more common custom to use decorative furniture legs in a bedroom and living room, especially if you want your space to look a little more vintage. Simple stained cupboards, treated with a more glossy finish and standing on cone legs refer to fashionable mid-century modern style. To keep the impression of the style, you should stain your furniture with darker colours. Nouveau Black, Dark Oak or B-Stain Black will be ideal for that.
Back to wardrobes – don’t they look amazing with visible cone legs? It is especially true if you choose natural wood styles, like Nordic or Classic Max. Along with natural legs, they make a unique, minimalistic design. But Bestå legs fit any wardrobe, whether you stain them or paint them in any colour of your choice. If you choose a more decorative style for your wardrobe front, you can use metal leg tips to improve it. As always, it depends on whether you have metal knobs or handles. If you prefer handleless doors, it probably will be better to leave legs without tips.
Sideboard legs in a living room
The best place to expose decorative sideboard legs for Bestå is in the living room. We mentioned earlier about mid-century modern style for which this kind of design is characteristic. However, there are many more styles for which cupboards on legs are the best choice. The first that comes to your mind is probably Scandinavian style, the most obvious choice for IKEA furniture. Wooden sideboards and visible legs also look great in coastal style rooms. Coastal style is rather similar to Scandinavian. It contains light sandy colours mixed with light blues and a little green. One of its characteristics is the use of wooden furniture. It should remind us of a wooden boat or ship elements waiting on the sand to sail away into the blue.
Sideboards on cone legs are a good choice for rustic or cottage style. The darker tones may be required here. They should be stained, not covered with opaque paint. However, you can use paint, especially white.
There are many ways to use sideboard legs for Bestå. You can choose it for your kitchen, living room or bedroom. Whether painted, stained or left natural, they always help you create a bit of a personalized space.
