Wall cabinets
Creating your dream kitchen means making the most of your space, including your walls. Our kitchen wall cabinets and units come in different heights, widths and shapes, so you can choose a combination that works for you. There's a stylish selection of colors and you'll even find options with drawers.
What can be stored in kitchen wall cabinets?
Kitchen wall cabinets are best for everyday items you want to keep within reach. And the easier they are to reach, the easier they are to put back.
Some of those everyday kitchen items include:
- Plates and bowls: Keep daily dishes close for ease.
- Glassware and mugs: Ready for a quick grab-and-go.
- Spice jars and baking basics: Small items that are visible and organized.
- Lightweight cookware: Smaller pots and lids you reach for often.
Whether you prefer open shelving or closed wall cabinet units, our kitchen wall cabinets help keep essentials right where you need them.
What is the best size for wall mounted cabinets?
The best size for wall mounted cabinets depends on your space and what you plan to store. Most IKEA kitchen wall cabinets range from about 12 to 36 inches wide, 15 to 40 inches high and around 15 inches deep.
That range gives you flexibility to build around your kitchen, not the other way around.
- Deeper cabinets (around 15–24 inches): Better for plates, bowls and larger dishes.
- Shallower cabinets: Work well in tighter layouts or for lighter items.
- Wider units (24–36 inches): Store frequently used items in one place.
- Narrower cabinets (12–18 inches): Fill wall gaps or simply maximize space.
- Varying heights (15–40 inches): Adjust storage based on ceiling height.
Well-sized kitchen wall cabinets don’t need to solve every kitchen problem. They just need to fit your space and store what you need.
How are IKEA wall cabinets mounted to the wall?
IKEA wall cabinets are mounted using suspension rails so that installation is secure and adjustable.
Instead of mounting each cabinet individually, a rail system is fixed to the wall first. Cabinets then hang onto it, making alignment easier.
- Suspension rails: Provide a strong, even base.
- Adjustability: Lets you decide placement.
- Support: Designed for everyday kitchen use.
- Sold separately: Chosen to match your layout.
