I get questions about our wood maple cutouts in our kitchen and Pax wardrobes often. I was lucky to work with a millwork shop to make these for me and drill the doors in their shop with their fancy machinery. I was hoping it would be possible to install these at home with a hole saw but it doesn’t work with Ikea doors. There’s too much room for error.

Sooo…. I wanted to offer some alternatives as there are a lot of companies out there making beautiful handles. You can play around with scale and placement. Tape out the size of the handles with painter’s tape first to make sure you like the size and shape. (Click on the photos for links).

Happy Ikea-hacking or updating a vintage cabinet or older kitchen cabinets. Would love to see photos!
