IKEA’s Akurum cabinets may have been discontinued, but that doesn’t mean your kitchen design has to feel stuck in the past. With a few simple upgrades, you can transform your Akurum kitchen into a modern, stylish space with minimal hassle.

In this post, we’ll guide you through how to upgrade your Akurum IKEA cabinets using the latest 2025 kitchen trends, along with custom cabinet doors from Swedish Door. Whether you’re aiming for sleek modern aesthetics, a more sustainable kitchen, or just a fresh new look, we’ve got you covered!

WHY UPGRADE YOUR AKURUM IKEA CABINETS IN 2025?

Although IKEA discontinued the Akurum system back in 2015, many homeowners still love their Akurum cabinets for their sturdy build and customizable layouts. But with the kitchen design world evolving rapidly, you might find that your Akurum cabinets no longer fit the sleek, modern look you’re craving.

Upgrading your Akurum cabinets offers a practical, cost-effective solution to achieve a fresh, updated kitchen design without the expense of a full remodel. Here are some compelling reasons why you should consider upgrading your Akurum kitchen:

• Cost-effective: By upgrading just the cabinet fronts and adding modern touches, you can achieve a brand-new look without replacing the entire kitchen.
  
  
• Enhanced style: A new look can make your kitchen feel fresh, sleek, and in line with current design trends.
  
  
• Improved functionality: Modern touches like soft-close hardware or updated organizational features can make your kitchen more functional.
