So, what would people’s dream kitchen be like? We surveyed thousands of people, visited hundreds of homes and worked with food industry professionals. “We found if there's one thing in common with kitchens around the world it's that they're different.” Klas-Ola says. “For as many people who dream of an open space kitchen, there are people with a small space, or a space that cannot be changed that much.”

Reviews
IKEA Kitchen ThomasWe were thinking of a kitchen renovation for years and finally got to the point to act on it. We got quotes from many kitchen installers and also other DIY and Flatpack businesses but by far the best experience was with IKEA who exceed in their IT/online presence as well as the complementary kitchen design teams in stores and the vast over-all number of products to choose from. As we were leaning more and more towards preparing and installing it ourselves IKEA felt like the best choice and now having gone through the whole renovation and new Kitchen is in place I can honestly say couldn't be happier with our decision to go with IKEA! Everything from online design tools, in-store design assistance, been impressed with product ingenuity (the compromises needed to balance weight, bulkiness, rigidity, tolerances for less skilled DIYers and so forth has been very good. Also the after-sales support to return unused items and exchange of any products with factory issues has been excellent.
basicJohnit works well as a system
Solid tops really needed for 80cm unitsJoWe are overall very happy with our Metod kitchen. The flimsy backs and no top works fine in most cases. They’re quick and easy to build. But the 80cm unit in our island just wouldn’t stay square until we mounted a shelf into the top of it as a lid.

Easy to assembleBozenaGraphic instructions are not always clear. I had to watch some YouTube videos to work out where to put some small parts. Once you understand the assembly process, it's easy to put all the parts together.

Good valueNickThe IKEA Metod cabinet frames are good value. It is relatively easy to assemble. The only tricky part is squaring it up and nailing in the back panel. I personally would prefer a thicker back panel, but that would increase the price so is a trade off.
Metod Laundry CabinetDiGreat cabinet ideal gor laundry well built and easy to put together.
Ver pleased with this asPhilipVer pleased with this as part of our laundry upgrade
Product chippedTanyaMid assembly I realised there was a big chip out of the cabinet wall. Rubbish quality but considering its over a 90 minute return journey to IKEA it’s just not worth returning. I guess you get what you pay for….

Story
A kitchen that took us around the world
Whatever your dream kitchen is, it’s probably different from many other people’s dreams. This we learned when researching kitchen desires around the globe. Our conclusion for the METOD kitchen system: it should make it possible to design the best kitchen for you – whatever your preferences and living situation.
Our ambition is to help as many as possible to have a kitchen they'd love to be in. We started sketching. “When we created METOD, it was our biggest ever kitchen change, so it's fair to say we were very keen to get it right,” says technician Klas-Ola Nilsson.
Research from around the world
From research to result
One element became blindingly important. “We realized we needed a kitchen system that could adapt to different sized spaces in a way that hadn't been done before,” Klas-Ola says. “So, we developed cabinets that could fit almost anywhere.” Different sizes can be mixed to best fit the room and they'll still fit together – without odd ends. The clever inside can be personalized to support your kitchen needs and activities, too.
Ready for the future
An adaptable kitchen fits better with how you like to cook, both now and in the future. Whether you start craving a more professional kitchen, or just want to start using it for more activities, we would love METOD to help out. “There's nothing to say that METOD is set and fixed now,” Klas-Ola says. “People’s ideas on what a dream kitchen should do is always evolving. To meet future needs, METOD will evolve, too.”
Function solution
Building blocks for the kitchen
METOD frames provide the base for your new kitchen. Choose between base cabinets, wall cabinets and high cabinets in many different widths. Wall cabinets and high cabinets also come in different heights. If you want to use a corner, choose a corner base cabinet with a carousel that makes it easy to reach what's inside. There are even special frames for a built-in single or double oven. Perfect if you want to have the oven at a comfortable working height. Complement with practical UTRUSTA, UPPDATERA and VARIERA interior fittings.
Material
What is particleboard?
Particleboard is made from recycled wood and sawmill leftovers – so wood pieces with the wrong shade, woodchips and sawdust become a resource instead of possibly being discarded. We use boards for things like bookcases, bed frames, sofas and kitchen frames. To protect from wear and moisture, we apply varnish, veneer or foil that adds to the furniture's look.
