IKEA custom cabinets

Are you looking for a new design for your kitchen? You can create it with IKEA custom cabinets. There are plenty of options to choose from. You can customize colours, materials and style of chosen cabinets, and then diversify them using details like knobs or legs.

IKEA custom cabinets – choose the best

IKEA is known for its various styles and functional storage systems. They may look similar but allow you to choose some details without laborious searching for every single one of them separately. In the Noremax online store, we also enable our clients to choose replacements for their older furniture systems.

For example, IKEA doesn’t release new elements for the Faktum system anymore, but we do. It allows you to improve your furniture system without replacing the entire set.

If you want to buy Faktum IKEA custom cabinets, you can choose the Nordic style for your IKEA cabinet fronts. Faktum is highly adaptable to any space, and Nordic is known for its natural, classic appearance. When you choose the basics you can proceed to take care of details. At this stage of customization, you will be able to choose handles (or not), decide if you want to mask cabinet legs etc.

You can also start your search from a design point of view and then decide which material and colour suits you best. For example, you can choose the Classic style, because of its similarity to timeless shaker cabinet design. Starting from that point, you will later choose a more detailed characteristic.

On our website, besides the Faktum system, we also provide parts and styles for Metod kitchens. There are plenty of various styles, like:

• Basic – it is a simple style, without any decorations on the door. You can choose knobs or pulls from our collection to personalize the look.
• Classic – a very nice reference to timeless shaker cabinets.
• Nordic – natural-looking, wooden fronts make this style an icon of Scandinavian design.
• Elegance – this style has a rectangular indention with slightly sloping sides in the upper part of doors and drawers. The decoration can be reversed and placed at the bottom of cabinet doors. It is recommended particularly with hanging cabinets.
• Circle – a simple circle indented in the MDF board can make all the difference. This subtle detail makes furniture look smooth but not boring.
• Cube – the more visible decoration style. Some elements are similar to the Elegance decoration. The difference is that they are put on every edge of the cabinet door. It looks modern and elegant. In comparison with other styles, this is more decorative. It may even bring art deco to mind.
• Ontime – in this case, a straight rectangular shape is indented in the upper or lower part of a cabinet front.
• Instyle – the indention at one edge of the front allows underlining the simple lines between pieces of furniture in the set. It is a subtle way to differentiate the look of the furniture set without decorating it too much.

If you are buying a PAX wardrobe you can also choose one of the other styles, like Diamond, Moon or Empire. You can purchase all the parts separately, so you can create IKEA custom cabinets without buying the whole furniture set.

Rearrange your space whenever you want

Using replacements for IKEA custom cabinets makes the whole process less expensive. It also allows you to change cabinets or only their parts every time you feel like it. It is inevitable that original furniture parts, like cabinet door alternatives, will warn out after some time. Then you can always order new ones, maybe choosing another style and colour.

The wonderful thing is that you can also modify the look of IKEA custom cabinets changing only some details. Are you bored with old knobs? Do you want to change colour, expose or hide furniture legs? You can do it. Just order the elements you need, choose a matching style, and install it.

Some tips on colour and light

There are some rules about colour and light that will help you to design your kitchen better. The size and lighting of your space may be important factors to consider before deciding on what colour, gloss type or shape you should choose. Let us go through the basic rules:

The first rule is that cool colours make a room look more spacious and warm colours make it seem smaller. If you want to optically change the impression of space in your room or kitchen, colour is the easiest and quickest way to do it. It doesn’t mean that you can’t use warm colours in a small room and cool in a big one. Before you do it, however, you should take that general rule into account.

Some colours, like white or grey, are neutral. However, if you set them in high contrast with other colours, the whole combination may dominate a too small space and make it uncomfortable. Some artists use that rule to create disturbing interior art.

We provide a wide range of colours for IKEA custom cabinets. You can choose a cabinet with a wood veneer or painted in one of almost 2000 colours from the NCS chart. We also use Farrow&Ball and Jotun colour codes.

The second important rule applies to lighting. In darker rooms, it is advisable to use brighter colours. A white colour brightens a room up, but you shouldn’t use it too much with cool lights. In a brightly lightened kitchen or room, you can soften the brightness using less saturated and not very bright colours. Using intense, dark colours too often can be risky. Unless you know what you’re doing or have a certain style in mind, try to avoid that.

What kind of finish fits your IKEA custom cabinets

Speaking of light, it also affects how we receive different types of gloss finish. We provide three types of sheens for our IKEA custom cabinets. You can choose matte (10 gloss), which is a little more expensive than others but invaluable in very brightly lighted rooms.

The satin finish will make your furniture look smooth in any shade and lighting. It is a bit glossy (20 gloss) but doesn’t stand out so much in the light. Semi-gloss finish (40 gloss) is better for darker rooms and kitchens since it reflects the most light.

If you are not sure how they look, you can find a video presentation of all three on our website. You can also order samples with different finish types. It is recommended, particularly if you want to check the gloss effect in various types of light.

The finish is available regardless of the material and colour you choose. For example, if you have bought ash or oak cabinet doors you can choose one of these three types of gloss finish. Don’t forget that some types of natural wood look better with more gloss, and others should be treated with a matte finish.

Do I need any special knowledge and tools?

We make every effort to provide you with the tools and instructions necessary to put the ordered elements together. It is one of IKEA main goals to make it easier for customers to assemble parts of furniture without expert knowledge and skills. Because Noremax provides replacements for IKEA furniture, we practice the same philosophy. You don’t need to be a technician to customize your furniture set.
