Fronts for IKEA cabinets

If you have IKEA furniture, you might be familiar with the modular character of their products. Most parts that make up the furniture can be customized to fit your interior. To further customize its appearance and functionality, you can order replacement fronts for IKEA cabinets. Save time and money by focusing on the most visible part of your furniture.

How to find the best fronts for IKEA cabinets?

The first thing you must ask yourself is what do I need in my room or kitchen? If you’re already using IKEA furniture, you have answered at least half of the questions. The second move is to customize your fronts for IKEA cabinets. This is not only a question of visual change. You can replace the material and choose options more durable or more resistant to moisture. On Noremax website, you will find many crucial features you can use and combine to create perfect cabinet fronts for your home.You will find many different types of kitchen doors to fit IKEA cabinets, but we also have doors for cupboards and wardrobes.

The idea behind IKEA

As we have mentioned before, the main idea of IKEA furniture is to make it as customizable as possible. The second important trait of IKEA products is their simplicity. You can assemble them by yourself, in most cases using just a screwdriver and delivered screws and hinges. You will find the simplicity in the furniture appearance as well. They are unique in appearance and have a lot of subtlety. You can obtain futuristic or classic-looking furniture but everything in a minimalistic, recognizable version. You may say this is the Scandinavian way – we like our surroundings cosy, neat and practical at the same time.

Noremax maintains the same idea. We make simple parts that are easy to assemble, with a subtle design variation and maximum usability. You will find many kitchen renovation ideas on our website and be able to create your own version.

Materials to create new fronts for IKEA cabinets

Materials are significant components of furniture design. The kind of material used may decide not only about cabinet durability but colour and style. For example, you can have doors made of MDF painted in any chosen colour. However, bamboo doors are available only in a few variations. All material has their pros and cons, and colour variability is not the only feature that matters. A bamboo kitchen, for example, looks more natural and is more environmentally friendly. Compressed bamboo is also probably one of the best materials for kitchen furniture.

Another material to improve your fronts for IKEA cabinets is HDF. It is a thinner, more densely compressed wooden board. The HDF is available in six chosen colours. Black, grey and light grey are readily available at hand. You will find them displayed under the product specification. If you want a blue, green or yellow version, you can contact us.

An excellent way to appreciate IKEA’s much applauded natural look is ash or oak veneer on top of MDF or birch plywood board. They are available in many variations as a part of the Nordic and Nordic+ collection. Nordic is also available in other designs for storage and wardrobes. Solid ash in combination with MDF are also a features of the Classic Max fronts for IKEA cabinets.

Some furniture parts can also be covered with a linoleum layer. For example, if you want to order a bright colour for your custom Pax doors, linoleum is one way to do that.

Look through and see what’s inside

We mostly think about fronts for IKEA cabinets as if they had to be solid. One of the best ways to make your kitchen look more diverse is through semi-transparent cabinet doors. Noremax provides two main types of that kind of doors. You can either choose a translucent glass or metal mesh insert. The rest of the cabinet front is made of MDF.

These doors are recommended mainly for kitchens, but you can install them any way you want if it fits your design. A semi-transparent front allows you to show some of your more decorative tableware. Combined with the Classic style, it makes the entire kitchen furniture look like a traditional china cabinet.These fronts with metal or glass inserts are the best IKEA cabinet fronts if you want to create a consistent shaker kitchen design.

Combined styles to catch the eye

It is safe to create a monochrome design. However, if you add some twists to your furniture appearance, it will be more unique. For example, you can use mesh or glass doors and put them in every second cabinet. The rest can have simple Basic doors, traditionally looking Classic or Nordic with natural wooden texture.

It is not always easy to create a varied furniture design. One can make a mistake by combining two styles that do not fit well together. That is why fronts for IKEA cabinets with mesh or glass inserts are almost universal. You can combine them with different styles, and in most cases, they will look good. But you may try other combinations as well. Basic and Classic? Maybe Classic Max and Nordic? For adventurous homemade designers, there are many options.

Fronts for IKEA cabinets with different handles

You can install a push-opener and resign from handles once and for all. However, a wide range of handles allows you to order perfect pulls or knobs that fit your fronts for IKEA cabinets best. For example, there are traditional wooden round knobs, which are a good option for shaker cabinets. They look nice combined with cabinet doors and drawers. Wooden knobs are a great option if you choose the Classic design style. They complement each other excellently. Metallic pulls, available in various colours, are great for modern-looking cabinet fronts. You can use them with the Basic design, for example.

Choosing pulls or knobs is not only a matter of aesthetics. There are some differences when using one or the other. We cannot tell you which type of handle is better. If you have wide drawers or high top cabinets, pulls instead of knobs can be a better choice. In the case of a drawer, it is better to distribute the pulling force evenly. This way it will be easier to open, and the handle has a chance to last longer. Installing two knobs on opposite sides of a drawer is an alternative.As for high cabinets, it is easier to open them by pulling on a pull rather than a small knob. Because of your hand angle, it requires more energy to pull. All these problems disappear if you choose a handleless mechanism instead.

Handleless cabinet doors – is it worth trying?

Instead of using your energy to pull open cabinet doors, you can push gently. At least that improvement is possible if you decide to purchase a handleless mechanism for your IKEA cabinet fronts. We do not deliver this mechanism, but all our fronts can be made handleless. It is also quite easy to install a push-opener by yourself. For customers who can’t decide which option is better, why not choose both? This way you will be able to test which suits you better and choose one of the options next time.
