Customize kitchen doors to fit your IKEA cabinets

How to choose kitchen doors to fit IKEA cabinets?

On the Noremax website, you will find fronts compatible with newer and older types of IKEA furniture systems. Faktum is a system that was abandoned by the company a few years ago. However, some people still use it in their homes, and it serves them well. In the Noremax online store, you can buy Faktum kitchen fronts for IKEA cabinets. However, they have slightly different construction than the newer Metod kitchen system. To find fitting doors for your cabinets, make sure that you know which system from IKEA that you have at home. The main difference between Faktum and Metod is the measurements of the frame. You can easily see if you have Faktum if the plinth is 16 cm in height, instead of 8 cm like for Metod. Check this before you start to complete your order to be sure you choose the right elements for your kitchen furniture set.

If you have any questions or want to be sure you got everything right, you can check the FAQ on the kitchen section on our website.

Visible wood pattern

You can choose one of the several designs, that uses birch plywood as a core instead of MDF. This option comes with ash or oak veneer and can be left natural, stained or painted in your chosen colour. You can combine different variations or choose to go with one design throughout your kitchen, still in the same material. By doing so, you will have more durable and consistent looking kitchen furniture.

If you want wooden IKEA fronts, The Nordic+ Collection is a good place to start. There are four different designs to choose from in this collection. Nordic+ Basic is the same design as the Nordic design from The Standard Collection, they only have different cores. This design has no other decoration, besides the pattern of the wood, which makes it a great choice for the admirers of natural, minimalistic Scandinavian design.

Nordic+ Circle is also very minimalistic in its appearance and only has a circular integrated grip as a small decoration. This is a great design if you prefer to use handleless fronts for your cabinets.

Another handleless style is Nordic+ Elegance. A rhombic integrated grip that follows the edge of the front also works as a subtle decoration. It is an ideal design for a modern, neat style.Nordic+ Instyle is more minimalistic. A thin line at the top edge of the front creates a slightly visible space between two fronts, and also works as an integrated grip. Although this design has more visible decoration than the Basic design, it is almost just as minimalistic.

In The Standard Collection you will find the design Classic Max, which is an alternative to the designs in The Nordic+ Collection. This front is made of plywood with ash veneer, and has a traditional looking, rectangular frame.

There are many other materials to choose from if you want kitchen doors to fit IKEA cabinets of a certain kind. You can also choose from bamboo, HDF or MDF fronts.

Door with a metal or glass insert

If you are looking for classical furniture in a modern version, our Classic design is worth trying. One of its most interesting variations is a door with a mesh or glass insert instead of a solid board. You can use these doors for top cabinets, creating surfaces that allows you to show a bit of what is inside your cabinets. Semi-transparent cabinet doors may also be a good idea for standing sideboards. They are not entirely transparent, so you cannot see all the details of things inside. However, translucent glass and fine mesh allow you to show a bit of your kitchen ware or other kitchen utensils.

Metal mesh and glass inserts make the entire furniture set look more engaging and vintage. Though, it can be used as a part of contemporary design as well. Especially if you are going for a style that mixes traditional and modern features.

Vivid or toned-down colours?

One thing Noremax takes pride in is the range of colours we offer to choose from. You can use NCS, Jotun or Farrow&Ball colour codes to order the specific shade and hue you like.

Do you prefer muted, calm colours or more vivid, vibrant ones? Either way, you can customize your cabinet fronts to give you full aesthetic satisfaction. If you do not have a favourite colour, there are many ways to choose a good one. You can find information about fashionable colours on the internet. For example, dark yellow ochre or pale green are recommended by some designers for 2022. Natural colours like mint green or terracotta rouge are also in fashion.

Another ways to choose your colours is to refer to basic colour theory as a guide. Some colours can be better to put in a kitchen others will be more practical in a living room or children’s bedroom. There are also some tips regarding small, big, dark or bright spaces. Here are some examples:

Dark shades can make a space feel smaller or cosier. This can be great to consider if you have a smaller kitchen to work with. Dark and warm colours may also look interesting and create a more intimate feeling in a big kitchen.

Blue is a great colour to choose if you want to create a calm feeling space. Light blue is often used in traditional Scandinavian interiors. It is refreshing and cooling, so it looks especially great when the room gets a lot of natural sunlight.

A white colour, both in warm and cool variations, or any bright colour, will have a lighting effect in dark interiors.

Colour theory allows you to understand profoundly how colours work in any environment and how they affect people’s humour or behaviour. Although, in the end it is always best to choose the colour you personally like the most.

There are many ways you can customize kitchen doors to fit IKEA cabinets and to fulfil your kitchen ideas. By finding the options that suits your needs and wishes, you will be able to design your interior more consciously and professionally.
