All while keeping your budget fully under control. Say goodbye to personality-free, plain white melamine units! Make way for rich colours, real wood textures, and refined details that elevate your space and give your interior a truly unique style: your own. When it comes to pricing, managing your budget is effortless. Because all our products are sold à la carte, you are under no obligation to buy everything from us. You stay completely in control.
At Ikea, you buy everything that remains hidden: the cabinet frames, hinges, and interior fittings.
At Plum Living, you can buy everything that is visible—all the elements that dress the frames and define the overall aesthetic of your space: fronts, worktops, handles, and shelving.
You are under no obligation to buy everything from us. You can mix and match to create your own style—for instance, pairing our fronts with a marble fabricator’s worktop, or combining our handles with Ikea fronts. Everything is à la carte, giving you a result that is uniquely yours.
Our fronts are specifically designed to fit Ikea cabinet frames from the Metod, Pax, and Besta ranges only (they are precision-sized and pre-drilled). They do not fit cabinet frames from other retailers.
However, they can be used on bespoke cabinet frames made by a joiner, for example. In this case, the joiner will simply need to check the door sizes available at Plum Living and design the dimensions of their frames accordingly.
Our other products, such as worktops, handles, and shelves, can be installed on any type of setup.
Ikea cabinet frames are widely favoured by architects for their unbeatable value for money.
Made from particle board (available in several colours)—just like the frames supplied by specialist kitchen retailers—they offer excellent durability and can easily be trimmed to fit the specific constraints of your space.
Beyond their inherent strength, Ikea frames come equipped with exceptionally high-quality hinges and hardware manufactured by Blum, a brand that supplies the entire kitchen and interior fittings market.
This durability is matched by great modularity: the frames adapt to every need thanks to a wide range of well-thought-out interior fittings (drawers, baskets, LED lighting) that are easy to update over time as Ikea introduces new additions each year.
All our products are Made in Europe. Our fronts are manufactured in France, Germany, and Portugal, with each country accounting for an equal share of our production. Our worktops are made in Italy, and our handles are crafted in France. We partner with specialist manufacturing workshops that have decades of expertise in bespoke interior design and also produce for the leading high-end French.
An Ikea kitchen customised with Plum Living costs 1.3 to 2 times more than a standard Ikea kitchen, depending on the chosen finish and accessories, and costs at least half as much as a high-quality kitchen from a bespoke kitchen specialist.
Pairing premium fronts with an Ikea cabinet frame—which offers unbeatable value for money—allows you to design layouts with the aesthetics and finishes of an architect-designed kitchen, without the price tag.
Because all our products are sold individually, you can curate your style down to the finest detail and stay in complete control of your final budget. Furthermore, thoughtful planning is essential to optimizing cost; our designers are on hand to help you keep within your budget.
Our lead times are 8-10 weeks, as all our products are made to order. This made-to-order model allows us to offer hundreds of front dimensions alongside over 200 choices of colours, wood finishes, and designs for ultimate personalisation.
With so many possibilities, every order is entirely unique. This is why we do not hold stock and require this lead time to craft your project to the highest standards.

Wardrobes and other storage solutions are even simpler to install yourself. To assist you along the way, we have made step-by-step guides available on the dedicated project pages for these setups.

Yes, our fronts have the exact same dimensions and hinge drillings as Ikea fronts from the Metod, Pax, and Besta ranges. However, just like Ikea fronts, the holes for the handles are not pre-drilled, giving you complete freedom to choose your preferred handle style and placement.
