Custom IKEA cabinet doors – why and how to choose them?

The possibility of furniture customization allows clients to create the most fitting furniture for their spaces. It doesn’t require buying an all-new set at once. What you can do instead, is buy custom IKEA cabinet doors, legs or handles to replace the old ones. This will change the look of cabinets or wardrobes you already have at home.

After choosing your combination of all these available options you will create custom IKEA cabinet doors to fit your kitchen or storage unit best.

The many colours of custom IKEA cabinet doors

Colours are the most diverse feature of custom IKEA cabinet doors. We use the NCS chart, which provides accurate colour mapping. You can choose them from the palette displayed online or order the physical chart to see how the colour works in different types of light. Additionally, there are three options of gloss finish to choose from: semi-gloss, satin or matte.

To choose the specific colour you like, check out one of the codes from the drop-down list. The list is under the specification of a given product. For example:

1. You choose a door from our Besta collection

2. Scroll down the page, and colours will appear after information about the plinth

3. Choose one of the colours displayed on the drop-down list

4. If you haven’t found the colour you like, send us the NCS code of a specific colour you want to choose.

Custom IKEA cabinet doors that are wallet-friendly

There are many material options to choose from. MDF boards are the easiest and most economical ones. This board is made of hardwood and softwood fibres bonded with wax and resin. It is easy to work with, and its smooth surface is ideal for all kinds of paint.

The MDF board used for IKEA cabinet fronts is 12 mm thick and treated with Akzo Nobel lacquer. This makes it durable and moisture resistant. The boards are designed to serve well in a kitchen environment. There is a potentially higher degree of moisture and temperature fluctuations. But it is not the only material you can use there.

Want to choose plywood instead?

We offer plywood cabinet doors as well. For example, a wide range of ash and oak cabinet doors is available for the NORDIC+ set.

The look of natural wood is iconic for the classic Scandinavian style. Instead of using paint on your doors and sideboards, you can leave the plywood raw, with veins that make it look like a plain wooden board. There is an option to treat the door with a clear lacquer. The lacquer makes it more durable but also deepens the natural wood colour. If you want, you can choose the painted option instead.

Plywood is a good choice if you want your furniture to last longer. It has high impact resistance, is very stable and can bear heavy weights. Its surface remains stable under changing temperature and high moisture. Besides the furniture industry, it is often used as a structural material in interior and exterior constructions.

The main base for the Nordic+ collection is birch wood. Ash and oak veneer is added to the outermost layer. If you choose ash plywood instead of oak, you can paint it in one of many available colours. Just find the colour you want on the NCS palette and send us the chosen code.

Custom IKEA cabinet doors made of bamboo

Many experts consider bamboo the most ecological material as far as natural furniture materials are concerned. It is a kind of grass. It grows fast. The most interesting fact – you don’t have to replace all the plants after one harvest. It will grow up again after cutting, like a lawn. It is also a good resolution for carbon emissions. Due to its fast-growing and perennial character, it has a negative carbon footprint. It is also a wallet-friendly and durable material.

Bamboo is now available as an optional material for our IKEA cabinet fronts. We can offer doors and sideboards made of compressed bamboo, treated with matte clear lacquer. Due to its properties, this kind of material is recommended especially for kitchen design. That’s why we propose it as one of the options for IKEA’s Metod kitchen, but you can try it in different rooms as well.

Choose material using samples

Even the most thorough description of a given material is not enough to realize how it will work in different spaces. The best way to check all the properties for yourself is to order some samples. Whether you want to check how a specific material will mix with your existing furniture or you want to replace all the cabinets, these samples may be useful for you.

Every material sample has its different variants. Use samples to check which colour and gloss finish that is best for your kitchen. Compare oak and ash wood. Choose one of the two bamboo options: natural or caramel. Are you looking for the best features for your furniture design?

Samples are a simple and effective way to check and choose the perfect version of custom IKEA cabinet doors or other furniture elements.

Hand-free technology

One of the advantages of custom IKEA cabinet doors is that they can be handleless. It affects the design and the everyday use of that kind of furniture. The secret of hand-free technology lies in its simplicity. All you have to do is gently push the door, and it will open. No additional electronics or expensive construction is required.

It is especially recommended to use in kitchens. For example: when you want to put the plates in the cupboard you don’t have to pull the handle while carrying dishes. Of course, it is one of the many advantages of handleless doors.

Aesthetically it improves the clean, modern look of your kitchen. Smooth cabinet fronts, without any additional elements, look very neat.

It doesn’t mean that you can’t buy handles for your fronts. We embrace all kinds of design, and we always provide a diversity of elements to choose from.
