The kitchen, which used to be just a place to cook, is now increasingly becoming the center of home activities. The morning starts with preparing breakfast, the afternoon is used to store groceries, while the evening is family gathering time. Therefore, choosing the latest kitchen cabinet model is not just about looks, but also about creating a space that is more organized and comfortable to use.
Come on, get to know IKEA's kitchen cabinet options that can be adapted to the size of your space, interior style, and daily routine.
Latest kitchen cabinet models you can consider
Modern kitchen cabinets are moving toward a simpler look with maximized use of space. Handleless doors, natural colors, a combination of open and closed storage, and modular cabinets are choices that can easily be applied to various home sizes.
At IKEA, you can find several systems with different characters. METOD offers a high level of personalization, ENHET prioritizes modular flexibility, while KNOXHULT provides a simpler, ready-to-use cabinet combination to plan.
The IKEA kitchen cabinet page also provides a selection of cabinets, frames, doors, panels, worktops, and supporting accessories to help you build your kitchen area step by step.
1. METOD with VEDHAMN for a warm wood feel
For those of you who like a kitchen with a natural character, the METOD base cabinet with shelves and 2 VEDHAMN oak doors can be one option. This 60x60x80 cm cabinet combines a METOD frame with solid oak and oak veneer fronts, providing a warm wood texture.
The shelves inside can be adjusted so that the storage space follows the size of your utensils. The door can also be mounted to open to the right or left. The METOD system itself uses an 18 mm thick frame and offers the flexibility to be combined with various cabinets, doors, drawers, worktops, handles, and other interior organizers.
This model is suitable for Scandinavian-style, natural, or modern and classic blend kitchens.
2. METOD/MAXIMERA with VOXTORP for a minimalist look
If you prefer clean visual lines, the METOD/MAXIMERA base cabinet with drawers and VOXTORP matte white door offers a more minimalist approach. The VOXTORP front features integrated handles so the cabinet surface looks neater without protruding handles.
This cabinet uses a METOD frame with a depth of 60 cm and a height of 80 cm. Inside, there are MAXIMERA drawers, UTRUSTA shelves, and hinges with built-in dampers. This combination makes it easy for you to divide storage between frequently used tools and larger items.
Designs like this are attractive for modern kitchens because the handleless look helps create a lighter visual feel, especially in limited spaces.

3. METOD with STENSUND for a modern classic touch
Cabinets don't always have to have plain door panels. If you want to bring in a little detail, the 60x60x80 cm METOD base cabinet with shelves and 2 white STENSUND doors can give a different character.
The STENSUND front gives a light look with panel details that can be paired with country, modern classic, or Scandinavian interior styles. The cabinet has internal shelves so kitchen utensils can be grouped by function and are easier to reach. This METOD/STENSUND combination is still listed as one of the base cabinet options.
You can combine it with wood-look worktops for a warm atmosphere or neutral colors to keep the kitchen looking light.
4. ENHET for an easily adaptable modular kitchen
For needs that can change over time, the ENHET system provides a modular approach. This series allows closed cabinets to be combined with open storage elements and customizable front choices.
One of the options is the 80x60x75 cm ENHET base cabinet for hob. This system is also available in various other functions, including cabinets for sinks, ovens, cabinets with drawers, and wall cabinets.
The ENHET system uses wedge dowels in a number of components to assist in the assembly process. This series is a flexible solution that can be changed according to your life phases, including by replacing doors or combining open and closed storage.
These characteristics make ENHET attractive to those who want the kitchen to feel light and easy to update without having to replace the entire cabinet layout.
5. KNOXHULT for a ready-to-use kitchen combination
Not all homes require a cabinet system with a very detailed configuration. For simpler needs, the 182x183x220 cm KNOXHULT corner kitchen gray wood effect offers a ready-to-use solution.
The combination has been designed as a corner kitchen complete with storage areas and worktops. The frame and fronts use a melamine surface that is easy to clean and scratch-resistant, while the laminated worktop is designed to resist moisture, heat, and scratches in daily use.
KNOXHULT can be considered for apartments, first homes, or limited-sized kitchens when you want a configuration that doesn't require many planning steps.
