Lack of decorations as an advantage
If you choose the Basic design, you will get simple fronts without any decorations. Some people may think that this is boring and not worth the effort. However, let’s look at the design from another point of view. Minimalistic design can be treated as a background for a different types of decoration. For example, you can showcase plants, photos or books on a shelf above.
IKEA Bestå Basic fronts can be also decorated with various types of handles. You can check out our collection in the “Furniture Accessories” section.
You can also use the simple, smooth surface of the Basic cabinet fronts for IKEA as a part of a futuristic design. You can achieve this look by using a fitting colour.

Classic design for IKEA Bestå door fronts
There are many ways to make the Classic design work. It can be treated as a part of rustic design. Whether you want to create a shaker style cabinet or need a sideboard for your Provencal style bedroom, Classic is the best option.
Classic IKEA Bestå door fronts are perfect also to embrace Scandinavian simplicity and elegance.As in a previous case, colour and added details can really make the look. If you choose lavender or lilac colour for your IKEA cabinets, add some paintings and dried flowers, you are sure to create a French country vibe. On the other hand, you can paint your cabinets in deep green or blue, add some pottery and simple decorations to create a classic shaker look.
Using the Classic design, you can also mix new and vintage ideas. It’s not the most obvious choice for an industrial interior. However, it can look cool against a brick wall, with some industrial decorations and vintage posters.
Let’s go back to the future
The Cube design looks almost like a futuristic project from the 1920s. If you want to reanimate that enthusiastic vibe which revolutionized the design industry a 100 years ago, this is your chance. The Cube style is simple, yet decorative. It makes you think about skyscrapers, aeroplanes and automobiles as if they were something new again. If the idea of using Classic in your industrial style flat did not suit you, you might prefer the Cube design for your sideboards. Paint them in brown or green, add a stained-glass lamp or a cubic figurine and feel the beauty of the roaring 1920s.
You can of course use the Cube design for other types of interior styles as well. You can use it as a part of contemporary decoration for your home.

We offer you to choose one of three types of gloss finish. It will help you to customize the look of your IKEA furniture even more.
There are a few factors that you should take into account when deciding about the type of gloss:
Lighting – the amount of light that comes into your interior may require more glossy or matte surfaces.
The size of the room – different glosses may appear different depending in the size of the room.
Colour of the furniture – some colours can look more vivid after you add some gloss others look better with a matte finish or if you choose to keep the surface natural, without any gloss at all.
Design style – Depending on the style you are going for in a space, the type of gloss finish might help enhance the overall look.
