What different styles are available with METOD kitchens?
METOD is a fully modular kitchen system from IKEA. With METOD, you have endless possibilities to design a kitchen that suits your needs perfectly, whether you prefer a modern or a traditional style for your kitchen.
- Modern METOD kitchens
Modern kitchens can look great in almost any home, whether you have a newly built flat or a hundred-year-old house. The sleek flat-panel doors and drawers will give your kitchen a more modern look. Clean, simple lines create a calm and uncluttered feeling in your room.
Modern kitchens are typically designed with a matte or high-gloss finishes, with white, gray, and black being the most popular colours. Modern kitchens have minimal or built-in door handles, and can be made fully handleless with the UTRUSTA push opener. Appliances are preferably fully integrated into the kitchen and hidden behind kitchen doors where possible. To make your modern kitchen stand out even more, you can add contrasting accent doors to your design, often made of glass or wood effect. To complement a luxurious look, consider adding a custom-made worktop in quartz composite, high-pressure porcelain or glass composite. - Traditional METOD kitchens
Traditional kitchen design remains popular for good reason. The classic painted cabinets bring a lovely warmth that suits any home. Whether your style leans towards rustic, traditionally classic, or modern rural, there is a timeless kitchen design to suit you
Traditional kitchens are typically designed around painted cabinet doors, often combined with glazed doors for the wall units. The doors feature details such as chamfering (a raised centre panel) or vertical grooves, giving the kitchen its classic look and feel. The most popular colours are white and cream, though grey, green and blue are also timeless choices for a traditional kitchen. Showcasing your kitchen appliances is an important part of the style, which is why these kitchens are often paired with free-standing fridges, freezers and other contrasting appliances. To complete the look, choose a worktop in a colour that contrasts with your cabinetry, adding warmth and a welcoming, homely character. - Industrial METOD kitchens
A scoop of rawness, a pinch of robustness and a drop of elegance. If you’re looking for a kitchen that blends all these ingredients, an industrial kitchen may be exactly what you need. This rustic style combines materials such as stainless steel, concrete, stone and wood to create a stylish space with a bold, raw charm.
METOD wooden kitchen
Perhaps the thought of a wooden kitchen brings back memories of the past, your grandmother spending hours by the stove and the comforting smell of freshly baked apple pie. Today’s wooden kitchens are just as cosy and warm, yet they are also surprisingly modern and practical.
There are many more METOD kitchen styles that blend elements from the ones already mentioned. METOD gives you the freedom to mix and match to your liking, helping you create the kitchen of your dreams.

A lot has happened since we introduced the FAKTUM kitchen system in the 1990s. Our needs and expectations in the kitchen have evolved, and by replacing the system we were able to carry over the best parts of FAKTUM while creating a new, more modern and flexible solution. METOD is built on modular dimensions rather than the continental measurements used in FAKTUM.
