IKEA METOD kitchen doors made to measure

Kitchen fronts for IKEA METOD - change your kitchen without changing your kitchen

Do you have an IKEA METOD kitchen and know it could be better? The fronts are the first thing you see. And the only thing you can replace without knocking down walls, without a carpenter, and without the budget for a new fitted kitchen. We make fronts specifically for your METOD cabinets, in the material, color, and size you choose.

What is the METOD system and why is it worth upgrading?

METOD is IKEA's current kitchen cabinet system, available since 2014. The carcasses are solid and durable - IKEA has done a good job with what's not visible. The problem is that IKEA fronts look like IKEA fronts. Everywhere.

Our fronts fit METOD carcasses without any modifications. You mount them on original IKEA hinges, just like the ones you remove. The difference? Your kitchen starts to look like a Pinterest project, not an IKEA showroom.

Materials that IKEA doesn't offer

Veneer and natural wood

Oak, walnut, pine and birch plywood, as well as selected veneers with a more decorative character. Each front is unique, wood grains never repeat. It's a material that provides warmth and character, difficult to achieve with other finishes.

Lacquer in any color

Uniform finish in RAL, NCS, or Farrow & Ball color. Matte, silky, or satin, depending on the effect you want to achieve. It's an aesthetic, durable, and convenient solution for everyday use.

Made to your size

Do you have an unusual recess, an angled wall, or a corner? We make each front to the dimensions you provide. Before production, we confirm everything via email to avoid mistakes.

The METOD system at a glance

  • METOD is IKEA's current modular kitchen system - sold since 2014 as the successor to FAKTUM (in the US and Canada the same system is called SEKTION).
  • Cabinet frames, fronts, drawers and hinges are bought separately - so you can replace just the fronts while the frames and interiors stay.
  • Fronts mount on UTRUSTA cup hinges (plastic clip); the drawers are MAXIMERA and FÖRVARA.
  • IKEA front series for METOD include BODBYN, LERHYTTAN, RINGHULT, VEDDINGE, VOXTORP, STENSUND, SINARP and KUNGSBACKA - you'll find the name on the sticker inside the front or on your receipt.
  • Quickest way to identify it: the year of purchase (IKEA has sold METOD since 2014), a plinth of about 8 cm (FAKTUM: about 16 cm) and 80 cm base doors (FAKTUM: 70 cm).
  • METOD and FAKTUM fronts are not interchangeable - different dimensions and different drillings.
  • We make made-to-measure METOD fronts: lacquer in any colour (RAL, NCS, Farrow & Ball), veneer and plywood - pre-drilled for UTRUSTA hinges, ready to install.
  • Thickness: original METOD fronts (e.g. VEDDINGE, RINGHULT) are 16 mm - we make ours 18 mm for extra stiffness; UTRUSTA hinges mount as standard.
  • Our configurator suggests the exact real dimensions of every front.

A kitchen from before 2014 is FAKTUM, not METOD. See fronts for IKEA FAKTUM.

Frequently asked questions

How much do METOD fronts cost?

From 243.86 EUR/m² incl. VAT for the Smooth lacquer. The other lacquers are 295.51-490.60 EUR/m² (milled, framed, vitrines), birch and pine plywood 332.80 EUR/m², natural veneers Oak and Smoked Oak 416.00 EUR/m², Walnut 456.17 EUR/m², Muskato Burl and Silver Burl 484.86 EUR/m². A concrete example: a 60x80 cm door in the Smooth lacquer has 0.476 m², billed as 0.50 m² (we count in 0.05 m² steps and round up), which comes to 121.93 EUR. Double-sided lacquering is a surcharge of 126.24 EUR/m² (it does not apply to veneers and plywood). You can price your own set in the configurator: enter the size and the style, and the price appears straight away.

Will the fronts fit METOD cabinets for sure?

Yes. Our fronts are designed specifically for IKEA systems. Hinge drillings for 35 mm hinges follow METOD standards - unscrew the old, screw on ours. If in doubt, send a photo of the cabinet and we'll verify together.

How do I measure fronts for METOD?

Easiest way: measure existing fronts with a tape measure. If you have METOD cabinets, our configurator knows the standard dimensions - just pick the model. You can also send photos and we'll help determine the dimensions.

How long does it take for METOD fronts?

9 weeks from payment, delivery included. We make each front to your dimensions - it's not a stock item. Order with a buffer before installation.

I'm afraid to order fronts online. What if they don't fit?

Order a sample - you'll see the material and colour in person, in your own light. Before production we confirm dimensions via email. If a front is defective or doesn't match the order - we repair, replace, or refund.

Can I see the colour in person before ordering?

Yes. We send front samples - you'll check material and colour against your wall, in your light. Screen colours can lie, samples don't. The sample cost is deducted from the production order with code SAMPLE (orders over PLN 1000, ~ €250).

Do METOD fronts also fit FAKTUM?

No. METOD and FAKTUM are different systems - different opening dimensions, different front dimensions. We make fronts for both systems, but you need to choose the right one. Not sure what you have? Send a photo of the hinge and we'll know right away.

Do you make corner fronts for METOD?

Yes. We have corner doors for METOD cabinets in one-piece and two-piece versions. Check the configurator or write to us with dimensions.

Do you also make side panels, fillers, and trims for METOD?

Yes. We make anything that can be made from a front - side panels, fillers, trims, plinths, dishwasher panels. Any size and purpose. Send dimensions, we'll quote the whole project.

Can you make a colour or pattern IKEA doesn't offer?

Yes - we lacquer in any colour from the RAL, NCS and Farrow & Ball palettes (included in the price), and make fluted fronts (Rhythm), fronts with narrow vertical grooves (Band), fronts with a narrow 12 mm frame (Linea), veneered fronts and handleless fronts with a milled edge.

Can I consult with someone before ordering?

Yes. We'll help with system, dimensions, finish, and accessories. Write to kontakt@ogony.pl or call us - we'll advise based on photos of your kitchen.

What front sizes do you make for METOD?

Doors: widths 20, 30, 40 and 60 cm, heights 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 200 cm. Extended doors for wall cabinets (handleless): widths 30, 40, 45 and 60 cm, heights 42, 62, 82, 102, 122 and 142 cm. Drawer fronts: widths 40, 60 and 80 cm, heights 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 cm. The actual size is 3 mm smaller than the nominal one, exactly as in METOD, so 60 cm means 597 mm, 40 cm means 397 mm and 120 cm means 1197 mm. In FAKTUM the deduction is 4 mm; we described the differences in our comparison of FAKTUM and METOD. The most frequently ordered sizes are 60x80 for doors and 60x20 and 60x40 for drawers. The full grid is described in our guide to METOD fronts.

What can replace a BODBYN, RINGHULT, VEDDINGE or VOXTORP front?

BODBYN is a framed front in a warm white; our equivalent is the Vienna style (344.28 EUR/m² incl. VAT) in colour NCS S 0502-Y. RINGHULT and VEDDINGE are flat, without milling, so in shape they correspond to the Smooth style at 243.86 EUR/m² incl. VAT. The finish differs, so before ordering take a sample for 23 EUR and compare it on the spot. VOXTORP has a handle milled into the edge; our equivalent is the Milled Handle style (295.51 EUR/m² incl. VAT) in the cool white NCS S 0300-N. For the classic framed LERHYTTAN, Shaker fits; for STENSUND with its fluted panel, Hampton (312.72 and 344.28 EUR/m² respectively, incl. VAT). We listed the colour codes in our article on IKEA colour equivalents and NCS codes. BODBYN, RINGHULT, VEDDINGE, VOXTORP, LERHYTTAN and STENSUND are trademarks of Inter IKEA Systems B.V. We are not affiliated with IKEA and we make our own replacements that fit METOD carcasses.

How much do fronts for a whole METOD kitchen cost?

Let us take a kitchen with 12 fronts: 4 doors 60x80, 4 extended doors 60x102 and 4 drawer fronts (2 pcs 60x20, 2 pcs 60x40). That is 5.04 m² in total, so in the Smooth lacquer at 243.86 EUR/m² about 1230 EUR incl. VAT. The same set in oak veneer at 416.00 EUR/m² is about 2095 EUR incl. VAT. We calculate from the actual sizes. With double-sided lacquering another 126.24 EUR/m² is added to the rate; this does not apply to veneer and plywood. You can check the amount for your own sizes in the configurator.

Your fronts are 18 mm thick and the IKEA originals are 16 mm. Will they collide with the neighbouring front or a drawer?

No, not in a standard build. The difference is 2 mm and it goes outwards, into the room, not into the cabinet opening, because the front overlays the carcass at the face. The dimensions in plan are the same as in METOD (60 cm means 597 mm), so the gaps between the fronts and the way the drawers run stay unchanged. The thicker 18 mm is visible only on the edge from the side, and only where our front sits directly next to an original IKEA one.

Will the fronts fit the UTRUSTA hinges I already have?

Yes, we drill the cup holes to the METOD standard, so you screw on your own UTRUSTA and buy nothing extra. If you are not sure whether your cabinets are METOD, send us a photo of the inside of a cabinet and we will tell you straight away.

Do you make fronts for MAXIMERA and FORVARA drawers?

Yes, we drill drawer fronts to the METOD standard, so they fit both MAXIMERA and FORVARA. The available widths are 40, 60 and 80 cm, the heights 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 cm. The most frequently ordered are 60x20 and 60x40, which in actual size means 597x197 mm and 597x397 mm. We also make a dishwasher front without drillings and a front for a pull-out larder unit.

Can I order just a few fronts to complete a kitchen I already have?

Yes, you order from a single piece. In the configurator you pick the size and the style and set the quantity yourself, so you can add two doors instead of a whole kitchen. When you are adding to existing fronts, order a sample for 23 EUR first and compare the colour on the spot, because white on a screen and white on a cabinet are two different things. The lead time is the same as for a whole kitchen, 9 weeks incl. delivery.
