Ikea kitchen drawers and cabinet adaptations queries

[Beverly27]

We have to find a kitchen and unfortunately the guy who was going to make the units has had to stop work for a while due to a bereavement. This has left us short of time and options. We've now been thinking about using Ikea units with bespoke doors. There are a couple of things I hope that those of you on this forum might be able to help us with though, as searching forums and with Google hasn't helped us. The first question we have is is it possible and would it cause any problems to replace the Ikea drawers themselves with wooden drawers we have made, so that they're sturdier and look more bespoke? We also wanted to install the bin unit shown in the photo in 1 of the Ikea cabinets, but is this something we can realistically do and do you have any suggestions as to how we do it please? Thank you for reading and helping if you can!

Hi. It is definitely possible. There are even companies that specialise in this. Have a look at this link for several options:

Thanks RichA, the door fronts we know we can do. It’s the drawers themselves and installing the bin unit we’re unsure about.

The bin store is easy , just goes in like a single draw with front attached and has slight adjustment available to get level .
Draws should not be a problem if you have skill to make accurately.
