How it works
How it works

We create doors for those who want more than standard solutions. Choose the exact style, colour, and feeling you want, and we build it with precision, in the highest quality, delivered ready to install. Crafted with care, with a finish that stands up to both time and attention. From kitchen to wardrobe.
That’s how you create a home where every detail feels genuinely considered.

Create your dream kitchen or wardrobe with Sankt George

A home doesn’t begin with cabinets and fronts. It begins with the feeling you want to come home to.
That’s why many choose to combine IKEA’s smart and affordable cabinet systems, for both kitchens and wardrobes, with made-to-measure doors, fronts, and details from Sankt George.
The result is a built-in look, without the price tag that usually comes with bespoke joinery.

Choose one of our models: flat, integrated grip, or one of our framed doors, and shape the expression entirely to your style.
Soft limestone beige, linen grey paint, light oak or dark oak in real veneer? Or a fully custom colour from the NCS scale?
You decide, we manufacture with a level of finish and precision you can see in every detail.

With filler strips, scribe pieces, and made-to-measure cover panels, both kitchens and wardrobes can be built wall to wall, floor to ceiling, adapted to the room rather than the other way around.
That’s how a standard system becomes a complete look that feels personal and unique.

Which cabinet system do you have?

IKEA Metod is a smart foundation to build on, but it’s the fronts that define the feeling when you step into the room.
Do you already have a Metod kitchen and want to replace doors and drawer fronts? Then you can keep the cabinets, hinges, and drawer systems and still get a kitchen that feels completely new.
Are you planning a new Metod kitchen but want a different expression than IKEA offers? Then you choose IKEA’s function, planning, and accessories and let us create what you want on the outside.
With Sankt George you choose the model, any NCS colour or oak veneer, and complete the look with cover panels, scribe pieces, plinths, and filler strips so the whole kitchen feels built in, considered, and personal.

A Metod kitchen that looks like yours, not everyone else’s

Two paths, same goal

Either the kitchen is already in place and you want to update the expression without tearing everything out, or you’re planning a new kitchen and want the right feeling from day one. In both cases, Metod works as a solid base, while our fronts and details create the character. It’s a simple idea, but the effect is big when everything is in place.

Choose the model that sets the tone

Flat, integrated grip, or frame. You choose the lines and proportions and we build them with precision. You notice the difference in daylight, when you run your hand along an edge, and when doors meet with exact alignment. It’s the kind of quality that makes the kitchen feel just as beautiful in five years as it does in the first week.

Any colour or oak veneer

Choose any NCS colour without letting colour limit you. If you want a warmer, more natural feel, choose oak veneer, with grain and depth that changes with the light. You set the style, we make sure the finish holds up to everyday life.

The details that create a “built-in” look

It’s often the gaps that reveal a standard kitchen. With filler strips, scribe pieces, and made-to-measure cover panels, you create a complete look that follows the room, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. The result feels calmer, more exclusive, and more you.

How it works

1.

Choose the expression

Start with the feeling you want. Choose a model, any NCS colour or oak veneer and think about the whole look: do you want a clean, modern expression or a softer, more classic feel? This is where the kitchen gets its identity.

2.

Shop directly or send your project details

Select what you need under Shop, or send your drawing, measurements, and photos via the quote form and we’ll get back to you with a free quote and a complete proposal.

3.

Manufactured with millimetre precision

Once everything is decided, we manufacture every part with millimetre precision. Doors, drawer fronts, cover panels, scribe pieces, and trims are built as one, with a finish that looks just as good up close as it does from a distance.

4.

Delivery and installation

We deliver to your home, ready to install. You fit them the same way as standard fronts, and keep IKEA’s smart function. The result is a kitchen that feels built in, and easy to live with.

Do you have an IKEA Faktum kitchen from around 2000 to 2013? Then you often have a kitchen built to last.
The series is no longer produced by IKEA, but the cabinets, drawers, and hinges are surprisingly durable, which makes Faktum perfect for an upgrade instead of a full renovation.
With Sankt George you can order doors, drawer fronts, cover panels, and plinths in Faktum’s standard sizes, in any NCS colour or oak veneer, so you get a modern feel without replacing everything.
If your Faktum kitchen is older than around 2000, or you have another version with different measurements, we can still make made-to-measure doors to your dimensions, but in those cases drawer fronts are usually delivered without pre-drilling for IKEA’s drawer system.

Upgrade your IKEA Faktum kitchen

Change the expression, keep the function

Many Faktum kitchens still work perfectly in everyday life. What often feels dated is the fronts. By replacing doors and drawer fronts, you can change the entire character of the kitchen without tearing out what already works.

Standard sizes for 2000 to 2013

For Faktum kitchens within the standard period, we manufacture parts designed for a smooth upgrade. You can choose between our models and create a completely new expression with the same cabinets as your foundation.

Older than 2000 or non-standard measurements

If your kitchen is older, if it’s a special Faktum build, or if you’re unsure what you have, we can manufacture made-to-measure parts. In these cases, drawer fronts may be delivered without pre-drilling for IKEA’s drawer system, as the hole pattern can differ. Feel free to send photos and measurements and we’ll guide you the right way.

Want to avoid guessing? Send measurements, photos, or a drawing via the quote form and we’ll get back to you with a free quote and a complete proposal. If you prefer to do it yourself, you can select parts directly under Shop.

How it works

1.

Choose the expression

Choose the model and finish that обновляет the entire feeling of the kitchen. Any NCS colour or oak veneer, and add cover panels or plinths if you want the whole kitchen to feel brand new, not just “new doors”.

2.

Shop directly or send measurements and photos

You can shop Faktum parts directly under Shop if you know what you need. If you’re unsure or have an older kitchen, send measurements, photos, and ideally a simple drawing via the quote form, and we’ll get back to you with a free quote and help you confirm the correct parts.

3.

Manufactured with millimetre precision

We manufacture your fronts to the correct measurements, with a finish built for everyday use. For Faktum 2000 to 2013 we follow the standard sizes, and for older or non-standard kitchens we manufacture to your measurements.

4.

Delivery and installation

We deliver to your home. You replace the fronts and get a completely new feel with the same cabinets. For non-standard or older kitchens, drawer fronts may be delivered without pre-drilling for IKEA’s drawer system, but we guide you so everything is correct.

The wardrobe is often the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you close at night. Yet it’s almost always the doors that end up “standard”.
With IKEA PAX you get a well-planned cabinet frame and smart interior fittings, but with made-to-measure wardrobe doors from Sankt George you can give the entire wall a completely different presence.
Choose a model, any NCS colour or oak veneer, and complete with cover panels, scribe pieces, and trims so the wardrobe feels integrated into the room, not placed in it.
The result is a built-in feel that holds up in everyday life, whether it’s a hallway, a bedroom, or a full dressing room.

Give your IKEA PAX a built-in feel

Create a calm wall, not just storage

When the door lines, colour, and material match the rest of the home, the “wardrobe feel” disappears. Instead you get one complete surface that feels architectural and considered. Same frame, completely different expression.

Choose model and finish

Flat and timeless, frame for more character, or integrated grip for a modern look without handles. Choose any NCS colour to match walls and trim, or choose oak veneer if you want warmth and natural depth.

The details that make the difference

With cover panels, scribe pieces, and trim you build the solution in so it meets walls and ceilings neatly. That makes the whole look feel built in, even when it’s based on a standard system.

Want help getting the whole look right? Send measurements and ideally photos via the quote form and we’ll get back to you with a free quote. If you prefer to do it yourself, you can select parts directly under Shop.

How it works

1.

Choose the expression

Choose a model and finish that makes the wardrobe blend into the room. Any NCS colour for a calm wall surface, or oak veneer for a warmer, more furniture-like feel. This is where you decide whether the wardrobe should stand out or feel “built in”.

2.

Shop directly or send measurements and photos

Select doors and complementary parts under Shop, or send measurements, your layout, and ideally a photo of the room via the quote form. We’ll get back to you with a free quote and help you get the right cover panels, scribe pieces, and trims for the whole look.

3.

Manufactured with millimetre precision

We manufacture doors and complementary parts with millimetre precision so lines stay straight and joints look clean. This is where the wardrobe goes from “PAX” to a built-in feel.

4.

Delivery and installation

We deliver to your home, ready to install. When the doors are in place and the details are in place, you get a wardrobe that feels integrated into the room, and that you’ll enjoy every time you open it.
Not every home starts from standard measurements. Sometimes you have a kitchen from another manufacturer, a built-in solution, or cabinets someone built on site.
And sometimes you simply want to do it properly from the beginning: let the room decide the measurements and let the expression guide the materials and finish.
With Sankt George you can order made-to-measure doors and fronts to your own measurements, regardless of brand. You choose model and finish the same way as in an IKEA flow, but without being locked to standard sizes.
You enter width, height, and hinge placement so every part is manufactured to fit your cabinets exactly.
Not IKEA? Order made-to-measure for your cabinets

Freedom in measurements, the same confidence in the process

In our webshop under Shop → Made-to-measure, you choose a model and any colour, just like in a standard system. The difference is that you decide the measurements, so you can upgrade an existing kitchen, rebuild a built-in solution or create a wardrobe that truly follows the room.

You enter the details, we build it exactly

You fill in width, height, and hinge placement, and we manufacture each part to fit your cabinets millimetre by millimetre. That gives you the same calm lines and premium feel as a built-in project, with a clear process and finished parts.

If you’re unsure about any measurement, that’s completely normal, especially in older kitchens and built-in solutions. Send your details via the quote form and we’ll review everything and get back to you with a free quote and a complete proposal.
How it works

1.

Choose the expression

Choose the model that matches your style, and choose any NCS colour or oak veneer. When you start with the expression, the rest of the decisions become easier: which fronts are most visible, where do you want calm, and where do you want character?

2.

Shop directly or send your project details

You can order made-to-measure directly under Shop → Made-to-measure, or send measurements, photos, and ideally a simple sketch via the quote form. We’ll get back to you with a free quote and help you confirm hinges, fitting, and which parts are needed.

3.

Manufactured with millimetre precision

We manufacture every part to your measurements. That means even built-in or older solutions can get the same clean lines and finish as a brand new project, without compromises on fit.

4.

Delivery and installation

We deliver to your home. Once the parts are installed, you get a complete look that follows the room, with an expression that feels considered and personal. And if anything feels unclear along the way, we’ll help you.

IKEA Metod shaker kitchen

We build IKEA Metod kitchens with spacer trims between and above the cabinets to create a more built-in look inspired by shaker style. The trims give the kitchen clearer proportions, calmer lines and an architectural whole that’s often missing in standard solutions. All our models work with this type of build, and both lacquered doors and wood veneer doors can be combined freely. The result is an IKEA Metod kitchen that feels thoughtful, timeless and personal—at a far more accessible price than bespoke joinery.
