Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style or storage. IKEA® is already a favorite for compact homes, but pairing your IKEA® cabinets with custom doors can completely transform the look and feel of your space. The right door choice can make even the smallest condo or apartment feel open, airy, and designed with intention.

Here are some of our favorite small-space hacks using custom doors for IKEA® cabinets.

Open-Frame Doors to Create the Illusion of Space

Closed storage is important in small spaces, but too many solid doors can make a room feel boxed in. They make tight rooms appear larger—perfect for bedrooms, entryways, or studios. Open-frame layouts are a designer’s best friend when it comes to small interiors. Instantly, your storage can blend into the room rather than dominating it, creating a lighter, more breathable aesthetic. 

Light-Colored Fronts to Brighten Dark Corners

Swapping stock IKEA® doors for custom fronts in bright whites, creams, or soft matte pastels lifts a room and makes it feel larger.

Built-In Storage with Panels & Toe Kicks

Maximize storage without losing cohesion by adding matching panels, toe kicks, and crown moulding. Custom trim pieces around IKEA® cabinets give the illusion of built-ins while also creating extra usable space.

Small spaces can be stylish, functional, and uniquely yours with the right cabinet doors. Whether you’re outfitting a kitchen, bathroom, or living area, custom fronts are a simple yet impactful way to take IKEA® cabinets to the next level.
