IKEA Kitchen Cabinet Fronts and How to Customize Them
IKEA kitchen cabinet selections are based on many decades of inspired kitchen design. They have created remarkably affordable and stylish options for homeowners worldwide. Though, they lean a bit more towards form, function, and affordability, that means they don’t really have a ton of door and finish options.
We’ve created a list of the Sektion doors and panels IKEA currently offers, and the finish options that are available. From there you can determine whether or not you will want custom fronts for your Sektion or Metod Kitchens.
Why IKEA? From Designers to DIY
We’ve covered this and it’s worth saying again:
IKEA kitchen cabinets are the answer for any home renovation project, especially as budgetary concerns become more common. Consumers who want to save money on their kitchen remodeling project should consider IKEA. The furniture brand is significantly cheaper than other North American brands. And, IKEA offers modern designs, durability, amazing warranties, and standardized sizes that make it easy for DIY custom front replacement.
Custom Fronts for IKEA Kitchen Cabinet Doors
Ikea offers beautiful cabinet innovations with stylish looks for any décor style – so there’s something perfect no matter what kind of space you’re building or renovating! The cabinets IKEA has designed and produced are stylish and durable. The drawback is that they have a limited number of door profiles with often just one finish option, and never more than three.
Dendra Doors was launched to build on the durability and availability of IKEA cabinets and to provide clients with more options. Some of our door profiles are the same or similar to what IKEA offers, but we make sure to provide nearly any type of finish you would want for that style of door. We also make sure to provide popular, more modern fronts like the Shaker Slim in Laminate, Veneer, and Painted options, which IKEA simply does not offer.
Now, the following list is for what IKEA offers for their SEKTION and METOD Cabinets. They do have more finish options than what is listed here, but they can only be paired with certain IKEA cabinet types. Whereas we go out of our way to make our profiles and finish options pair with as many cabinets as possible.
