How to choose kitchen cabinets and cabinet interiors

When planning your new kitchen or renovating the old, you may feel there are too many options. But picking the right cabinets and interiors can be simpler than it seems. This is a handy guide to get you going, minus the guesswork.

Kitchen cabinets of different sizes and models, some open and some closed, are placed against a dark green background.

Combine kitchen cabinets to optimise your space

Cabinets from our METOD kitchen system come in a variety of heights, widths and depths so that you can work around any architectural challenges and maximise kitchen storage: base cabinets, cabinets for built-in appliances, high cabinets and wall cabinets.

Base cabinets – your kitchen’s true workhorses

Base cabinets are the foundation for the worktop and can carry the hob, oven and sink. They offer storage for heavier and larger kitchen items, can also be used to create a customised kitchen island with extra storage. 

There are many options to maximise the insides, from fixed shelves to wire baskets and drawers. Our smooth-running MAXIMERA drawers, available in different sizes, close slowly and quietly thanks to the built-in dampers.

Wall cabinets – add storage and visual interest

Wall cabinets, with different heights, widths and depths, make the most of your kitchen’s vertical space. Primarily used for storing items that you want close at hand, they are ideal for holding serving dishes, glasses, and other smaller kitchen essentials. They most commonly have shelves, either solid or made of glass.

High cabinets – take your storage to the ceiling

Are you looking for a pantry for your food items or a special place for your cleaning supplies? High cabinets are a fantastic way to save floor space while giving your kitchen a streamlined look. They’re especially handy in smaller kitchens where it can be a bit tricky to create enough storage.

Cabinets for built-in appliances – for a sleek look

Integrated kitchen appliances are becoming increasingly popular in modern homes because, by hiding them away in your kitchen cabinets, you can achieve a smooth and uniform look throughout your space.

Our cabinets for built-in appliances are specially designed for our range. We have cabinets for sinks which are reinforced to carry the weight and have cutouts for piping, high cabinets perfect for fridges and freezers, and cabinets designed to house your oven and/or microwave oven. All are ventilated and many of them are reinforced so that they can bear the weight of heavy built-in appliances.
