How to Customize Ikea Kitchen Cabinets to Match Your Unique Style

Ikea kitchen cabinets are renowned for their affordability, durability, and versatility. But what truly sets them apart is their potential for customization. With a little creativity and effort, you can transform standard Ikea cabinets into bespoke pieces that reflect your unique style. Here’s how you can customize Ikea Edmonton kitchen cabinets to make them truly your own.


Five ways to customize your Ikea kitchen cabinets


Switch up the fronts


One of the simplest ways to customize Ikea cabinets is by changing their fronts. Ikea’s modular design allows you to swap out the standard cabinet doors for custom fronts from third-party suppliers or even DIY options. From sleek, glossy finishes to rustic wood panels, the possibilities are endless. This small change can dramatically alter the look and feel of your kitchen.



Add the hardware of your preference


The hardware you choose for your cabinets can make a major difference in the look or feel. For instance, you can replace the standard Ikea knobs and handles with unique options that align with your style. Some of the popular options are antique brass pulls for a vintage look, matte black handles for a modern aesthetic, or colourful ceramic knobs for a touch of whimsy.


Incorporate custom paint or stains


If you love a hands-on project, consider painting or staining your cabinet fronts. Ikea’s wood and wood veneer options are particularly well-suited for this. Choose a colour that complements your kitchen’s overall design. It could be a bold hue for a contemporary vibe or a muted tone for a classic appeal. Be sure to use high-quality, durable paint for a professional finish.


Upgrade with moulding and trim


You can also add a touch of elegance to your Ikea cabinets by incorporating crown moulding, trim, or baseboards. These details can give your cabinets a custom-built appearance and blend them with the rest of the kitchen.


Personalize the interiors


Customization doesn’t have to stop at the exterior. You can experiment with the interior to find out what looks best for you. For instance, it is possible to use drawer organizers, pull-out shelves, and unique liners to customize the interior. Ikea’s array of interior fittings provides endless opportunities for personalization.

We stumbled upon our new Order Management service after hearing the frustration of ordering an Ikea kitchen from our clients. Are you familiar with purchasing things like furniture from Ikea? If you are then you know about all the boxes. Every piece is in it’s own box. Now when you purchase a kitchen from Ikea there are literally hundreds of boxes. And since covid there have been all kinds of global supply problems. For some reason Ikea has been hit extra hard. There once was a time when you went into an Ikea, purchased your kitchen and the entire kitchen was there. You brought it home and started assembling it that day. Those days are long gone. Now when you go to purchase your kitchen maybe 75% of it is there for you take home. And yes, you have to take it home that day or have it delivered. You purchase what is in stock and then you are handed a couple different pieces of paper with all the items that are not in stock. You see the picture above with the order information, that’s all the out of stock items for one kitchen. And now you are on your own to check online, everyday to see if any of your items have arrived, then make multiple trip to Ikea to pick up these stragglers. So while you find a spot to safely store all of these boxes somewhere in your home, you get the privilege of obsessing over the Ikea website for the next month or two waiting for the rest of kitchen to arrive. And you better click and collect those items because by the time you get to the store they could be sold out before the doors even open, it’s happened to me. Its complicated for me and I do it all the time. It can get really frustrating if you have never done it before.
