A.S. Helsingo
Helsingo uses IKEA’s cabinet frames as a base for their high-quality cabinet fronts that are priced pretty reasonably. They offer a variety of designs, and you can find the right one that fits perfectly within your space, no matter classic or contemporary.
The cabinet fonts are available in 12 paint colors, walnut, and three shades of oak. Price-wise, small kitchen cabinets would cost you around 2858 Euros, while large kitchens – 4270 Euros as a minimum without shipping. The most expensive material is always walnut.
What I absolutely love about Helsingo is that they prioritize high-quality genuine materials not only for cabinet fronts but also for hardware. Their metal hardware pieces are produced and hand-polished in Finland. while the ceramic handles are designed and handmade by artist Leena Kouliha without advanced machinery.
Superfront
I absolutely love the way they handle the customers on their website. They offer a comprehensive guide on how to plan your kitchen, and they are willing to help you with the ordering process as well for an extra $85. As a bonus, they offer an extremely good return policy in case of delivery damages.
They sell cabinet fronts for two IKEA cabinet types: Metod kitchen and Faktum kitchen. To help the users identify which one is their existing kitchen, Superfront has put together a detailed guide.
The quality of designs and cabinetry itself is jaw-dropping. How can you even imagine that these kitchens are done on the base of IKEA cabinets? They look so high-end and luxurious.
Cabinet frames, drawers and hinges from Ikea are not included.

Plykea
Plykea uses Plywood to create contemporary cabinet fronts for IKEA kitchens. Their designs are intended for minimalist spaces that are designed to pass the test of time.
Plykea offers cabinet and drawer fronts only for IKEA Sektion kitchens, as they come with the same fixing holes as standard IKEA kitchens.
Plykea offers both, standard and non-standard size panels. You just have to share your IKEA kitchen design with them and wait for the quote.
I love the attention to detail that Plykea provides, and the fact that the beauty of natural wood (which composes the plywood) is exposed to admire.
Kokeena
Kokeena offers custom cabinet fronts for IKEA’s SEKTION, PAX, and GODMORGON. The collections differ based on the finish and the list includes paint, grain, and laminate. In addition to that, Kokeena partnered up with Townsend Interiors to create a Townsend Home Collection that features an organic selection of nature-inspired neutrals.
The cost for a large-size kitchen ranges from $9,808 to $13,416.
Custom Fronts
I love Custom Fronts that offer nature-inspired cabinet fronts for IKEA cabinets. I appreciate this company not only because of its high-end cabinet front designs, but also the high-quality natural materials they use, and the sustainability-oriented approach they have.
Custom Fronts take inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese designs and use high-quality hardwood materials to create hand-made products. The materials they use are safe to work, FSC certified, and sourced only from sustainable European producers.
How can you NOT LOVE these beautiful kitchen cabinets?
The prices differ based on the materials you choose:
- Birch
- Crown
- Quarter Sawn Oak
- Forbo
- Fenix
- London Plane
- Ash
- Black Stained Oak
- Walnut
- Rough Sawn Oak
- White Bamboo
- Golden Bamboo
- Dark Bamboo
For a medium-size kitchen the price is £3,964-£4,991, which I consider being a great deal for top-quality natural wood material cabinet fronts. It’s OK to save on things that are not visible that much, like cabinet boxes, but you need to choose cabinet fronts that will make you happy every day when you see them.
HUSK
I love how intuitive and simple the whole process is on their website. UK-based custom cabinet fronts company HUSK dumbed-down the whole process into four steps: measure, order cabinets from IKEA, order cabinet fronts from HUSK, and get your delivery.
For their sleep cabinet fronts, they use high-quality materials:
- Fenix Laminated Ply with Ply Edge
- Fenix Laminated Ply with Oak Edge
- Finished Plywood
- Oak V-Groove
- Textured Fronts
- MDF Primed
The best part: you can order samples before making up your mind.
Switching up cabinet fronts for a medium-size kitchen would cost you between £2,151-£3,984, depending on the material you choose. Fenix Laminated Ply with Oak Edge tends to be the most expensive material.
The delivery time is not the best, but reasonable – 6-8 weeks. But the saddest part is that they do not ship internationally at this moment, and as a standard, they only produce cabinet fronts for the IKEA Metod range.
