  • 5-piece construction with a solid wood frame

The Custom Look Your IKEA Cabinets Have Been Missing

Modern English cabinets bridge the gap between traditional cabinetry and the requirements of a contemporary home. These shaker-style kitchen cabinet doors are built specifically for IKEA Sektion, Akurum, and Godmorgon systems. They replace factory fronts with a 5-piece style that looks like a custom architectural install.

These inset panel cabinet doors use veneered MDF panels to keep the painted finish stable. While solid wood often shrinks and expands with the weather, MDF stays the same size. This prevents paint from cracking at the joints, ensuring your shaker kitchen cabinet doors look polished despite daily wear.

Choose from our curated paint colors or request a custom match to any paint brand. Everything is finished with a durable water-based varnish for a high-end look. You can also buy square recessed panel cabinet door fronts unfinished to apply your own color at home. Unfinished door fronts are available for purchase, allowing you to customize the color yourself at home.
