Custom fronts · IKEA METOD

Fronts for your IKEA METOD kitchen — cut to size near you.

We give you a ready-made technical drawing with exact dimensions and hinge positions. Take it to a local cut-to-size shop — choose any material they offer, extend the front over the plinth, and pay a fraction of the price of branded fronts.

Launch price: €49 for plans for your whole kitchen.

Carpenter prices from published Polish cut-to-size rates of 700–1,000 zł/m² (≈ €160–230/m²) for lacquered MDF, as of July 2026; carpenter prices vary across the EU. Polish IKEA-front makers start around ~€580 — with your own carpenter you choose any material (laminate is roughly half the price) and usually a shorter lead time.

Why fronteli

Your material

Veneer, lacquer, reeded — any material and finish you choose. No catalogue limits.

No middlemen

You order where a carpenter sources — at a cut-to-size shop — so you skip their markup and the freight from across Europe.

Fits exactly

Dimensions and hinges matched precisely to the METOD system.

Extend over the plinth

Cover the legs and plinth or run the front taller — a built-in look, not a flat-pack one.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Where do I get it made — do I need a carpenter?: You don't need a carpenter. You take the drawing to a cut-to-size shop — one that cuts board to size, edge-bands it, and drills the holes. It's the same kind of shop a carpenter would order cut fronts from, so going direct means you skip their markup. (A carpenter can make it from the same drawing too, if you prefer — usually pricier.) We're compiling a list of vetted shops; it'll be ready at launch.
Which hinges do I buy, and where?: Standard 35 mm cup hinges (European-style) — the same ones IKEA uses in the METOD system. IKEA's own UTRUSTA hinges fit too, including any you already have. Get them at any DIY store, a furniture-fittings supplier, or the same shop that cuts your board. The drawing marks the Ø35 mm cup positions, so the shop bores them exactly where they belong.
Will it really fit — and what if the dimensions are off?: The free 2D preview shows the outline and dimensions before you order anything, so you can check them against your cabinet. Paid drawings are generated only for checked sizes; if we're unsure, we block the order rather than send a wrong drawing. Always confirm the dimensions with your shop before cutting and drilling.
How much does it cost?: You pay a one-off fee for the drawing (pricing at launch). The front itself is paid separately at the shop, and depends on material, finish, and region. You save because you're ordering at the level a carpenter sources from, instead of paying their markup or the freight on branded fronts shipped across Europe.
