Plykea Blog: Design Tips & Kitchen Inspiration

When designing a new kitchen or wardrobe, choosing the right fronts makes all the difference. Pairing IKEA cabinetry with custom fronts creates a design-led, highly personalised space that looks and feels bespoke — without the cost of a fully custom kitchen or wardrobe.

When it comes to designing your dream kitchen, few options offer as much flexibility, value, and design potential as an IKEA kitchen. Whether you’re working with a compact city flat or a spacious open-plan space, IKEA’s Metod system provides a clever, affordable foundation that can easily be elevated with Plykea’s bespoke plywood fronts, worktops, and add-ons.

When it comes to kitchen storage, tall units are essential — but many systems, including IKEA’s tall larder units, miss a key configuration: a wide pantry to elevate the space and give that custom-built look. Plykea pantries bridge this gap, offering a blend of style, function, and flexibility.
