How to plan BESTÅ modular storage to fit your home

Here’s a guide to help you create a BESTÅ combination tailored to your space and belongings. The modular design makes it easy to adapt when your life – and storage needs – change. 

Three BESTÅ frames on legs in a living room with two oak veneer top panels on top. Green KRUKMAKARE fronts are on one frame.

1. Choose your frames

First, measure the space where your BESTÅ storage will go. Thanks to its flexibility, BESTÅ lets you combine frames in lots of different ways and mount them on the wall on the floor. Finish with matching shelves and drawers, or sleek glass shelves for extra style.

A rectangular BESTÅ storage frame changes from dark grey to oak brown and then white. It transforms and becomes lower and wider. It whizzes away and is replaced by a tall, rectangular frame with shelves that slot in. A smaller frame sweeps in that widens into a TV bench with two deep, push-open drawers. The bench is pushed up on four short legs, then the legs disappear, and the bench glides up onto a wall mount.

2. Choose your fronts

Set the look of your BESTÅ combination by choosing fronts that feel like you: smooth or textured, high gloss or glass. Available in different sizes to fit all frames, each front features push-open or soft-closing runners and hinges for drawers and doors. Add a top panel for a polished finish and neatly hide cabinet joins.

3. Add the finishing touches

Complete your cabinets inside and out with integrated lighting, storage boxes and knobs and handles. They come in a wide range of colours and finishes, so the style possibilities are endless.

A tall, white cabinet stands on a wooden floor against an olive green wall. Shelves rise up from the bottom and fix into place before plastic, rattan, cardboard and felt boxes make their homes on them. Lights on the undersides of the shelves switch on and white doors close. The handles alternate between simple white tabs, different coloured knobs and grab handles made of shiny metal, dark wood and tanned leather. The accessories disappear, leaving the cabinet a simple shell again.
