Cabinet fronts are the first thing we see after we enter any room or kitchen. Our eyes notice the colours, decorations and arrangement of these elements. Are they flat or decorated, bright or dark, painted in warm or cold colours? All of that adds up and influence our perception of a given space, before we have a chance to notice it consciously.

Wooden kitchen doors, especially with natural colour left, make the space look more natural. It perfectly fits such styles as rustic or boho. Although, industrial with some natural-looking elements look good as well. You can get a similar impression with bamboo fronts.

IKEA Besta legs as an element of design

In traditional kitchen design, we tend to hide cabinet legs. But with decorative IKEA Besta legs, you can change the look of your furniture. They come in two different lengths: 17 and 30 cm, and various styles and materials.

Lighter look with exposed cabinet legs

When we think about cabinets with exposed legs two terms may come to mind: lighter and more traditional. It does not mean that every kitchen or room with visible furniture legs look traditional, but certainly, every piece of furniture with visible legs looks lighter.

If, for example, you want to create a set that looks very light and fresh you can combine mesh or glass cabinet doors, exposed cabinet legs and light or natural colours. If a piece of furniture has some space exposed under the bottom it looks almost as if it was floating above the floor. Our brain automatically reads this as a sign of the lightness of the material. So exposed furniture legs make any cabinet seemingly lighter.

Better cleaning with IKEA Besta legs

Do you want to have a clean and healthy kitchen? Not many people take it into account, but exposed furniture legs can make cleaning easier. Imagine how much dirt, and even pests can gather under the hidden cabinet bottom. It depends on many factors but generally closed space, which is not very movable may be more difficult to take after.

That’s why exposed IKEA Besta legs are a simple way to make cleaning much easier. You can sweep and wash the floor underneath without moving the cabinets. It also helps to discourage pests from infesting hidden spaces. Not only do we have that space under control, but it is airier and cooler. Most kitchen pests prefer dirt, warmth and moisture, so the problem resolves itself on many levels.
