The first is older and no longer available at IKEA stores. However, you can use our replacements for Faktum if you plan your IKEA kitchen remodel without buying new frames.

On our website, we have tried to make the choosing of the right front as easy as possible. Just open the Kitchen tab, and you will see the different options for kitchen furniture. One of them is Metod and one of them is Faktum. However, since Metod is newer, more designs are available for this system. Keep that in mind while customizing your cabinet doors.

Custom doors for IKEA cabinets of the future

If you are one of those people that prefer futuristic interiors, we have plenty of variations for you. One of them is HDF Metod fronts. HDF is a very durable, smooth looking wooden board. It is used mainly for floor panels but can be applied to furniture and other interior elements. It has a higher density than MDF which is a material that we predominantly use for the construction of our furniture. The high density makes the HDF board more durable and thinner than MDF.

We provide these doors in black, grey or light grey. You can also order it in green, blue or yellow by request. It looks great in more toned-down colours. If you want to try kitchen fronts in HDF it is a good occasion to install IKEA black cabinet doors. A smooth black surface will look great in a futuristic kitchen. It will also be unique as many kitchens are decorated in light, bright or pastel colours.

Tradition and modernity

For the last hundred years, decoration styles have been changed many times. Futuristic furniture can be perceived as vintage and called modern. To avoid any confusion, when we talk about modern: we mean the style which people perceive as a contemporary norm. Futuristic is a fancy style that brings space travel and sci-fi to mind. Traditional is a style that could pass as such 50 or 100 years ago. The best way to describe it is a shaker kitchen. This type of kitchen design was created by eighteenth-century Quakers in America. It was developed over the two next centuries.

If you want to refer to that style, using our furniture, you can use Classic, Classic Max or Classic Style from our offer. A great addition to that will be top cabinets with mesh or glass inserts. Together with rectangular decoration on the bottom cabinets, they recreate that traditional look, associated with the so-called shaker kitchen. To complete the classical design of your custom doors for IKEA cabinets, you can install some wooden, round knobs.

These traditional cabinets look the best when you apply light colours to them. Traditional shaker kitchen colours – blue, bottle green or specific red are traditional options. You can also have typical IKEA white cabinet doors, that are closer to the Scandinavian style.

More colours and more customization

Traditional vs modern vs futuristic is only one way to look at furniture design. Having the opportunity to fully customize your cabinets, you can choose a different approach. Create an interior that fits your needs and dreams. For example, why not choose colours that you like, even if they aren’t common colours for a kitchen. Why not order yellow custom doors for IKEA cabinets? Not everyone might like that colour, but it has some advantages. It makes the interior look brighter and happier. It can also positively affect your digestive system. Combined with green plants and white walls, it will also make your kitchen look positive and fresh.

Another unexpected colour you can apply to your kitchen or room is purple. It will make your furniture look elegant and even luxurious. It also has a positive influence on our emotions. Although too bright or too intensive hue may be hard to bear. So, we recommend using more toned down or pastel versions.Have you ever imagined what turquoise furniture looks like? It brings lagoons and exotic holidays to mind. If you combine it with a bright yellow, the impression is even stronger.

There are plenty of colour options, especially if you want to order MDF doors. We can’t show every variation since there are over 2000 colours to choose from. By changing colours alone, you can improve the look of your interior and create an entirely different atmosphere.

Handles or handleless?

Another simple way to create custom doors for IKEA cabinets is to choose between traditional handles or a handleless opening mechanisms. Every door for IKEA furniture created by Noremax can be handleless. They will open with a light push instead. It is worth noticing that we don’t provide the push-opener for that mechanism. Nevertheless, there is an option to order handles or knobs instead.

The shape, colour and material of a handle is a decorative element. It can make the cabinet front look much different than handleless surface without decoration. You can also match handle style with your custom doors. Shaker cabinets almost require traditional-looking knobs or pulls. The simpler, the better. Some people use golden or metallic handles for their Classic doors, it is all a matter of opinion.If you have chosen futuristic black doors, you can leave them without a handle and install push-openers instead. You can also pick up one of our futuristic handles like Matrix, Batman or Helios.

Some people may ask why to install a push-opener in the first place? Aren’t good old handles a proven method of opening? There are some pros and cons, as always. Push-opener is considered safer. Some handles and knobs, like any other protruding furniture detail, may cause damage to clothes. They are also not so safe if there are energetic children running around. Handleless cabinets are one way to prevent toddlers from opening kitchen doors and drawers with all the dangerous accessories inside. On the other hand, a broken push-opener can cause difficulties with the door opening. But replacing a broken push-opener, might not be more challenging than replacing or repairing a handle or knob.

Customizing cabinet doors for your kitchen or room can be fun. With the Noremax online store, it is also an easy and smooth experience.
