In which styles and configurations can the IKEA BESTÅ system be used?

Style adapted to the interior – how BESTÅ fits into different arrangements?

One of the greatest advantages of the BESTÅ system is its adaptability. Its minimalist form and the ability to change the fronts make it easy for this piece of furniture to blend into many styles. In modern interiors, lacquered surfaces and a handleless opening system are perfect, emphasizing the purity of form. On the other hand, Scandinavian style benefits from light colors and natural textures.

BESTÅ is also ideal for minimalist spaces – its modularity allows you to minimize the number of elements to the bare essentials, and uniform fronts with hidden handles create harmony in the room. The industrial look can be achieved by selecting dark fronts, metal bases, and raw finishes. And if you prefer a classic style, choose wood-like fronts and decorative handles that bring a traditional look in a modern form.

BESTÅ configurations – standing, hanging, and corner

Thanks to its modular design, BESTÅ allows for free configuration depending on the needs and layout of the room. You can place it on legs, hang it on the wall, or combine modules into a corner setup. Standing furniture works great in living rooms and bedrooms – it can be equipped with different types of bases: classic legs, plinths, or subtle brackets. The hanging option adds lightness to the room and makes cleaning much easier.

BESTÅ can also be combined both vertically and horizontally, allowing you to create structures perfectly suited to the available space. Depending on your preferences, symmetrical layouts – with equal fronts and the same height segments – or more dynamic, asymmetrical compositions are possible.

BESTÅ in different functions – from TV unit to display cabinet

The BESTÅ system is not just a storage piece. Thanks to a wide range of configuration options, it also works well in other roles:

• TV unit – one of the most common uses. Thanks to the ability to adjust the width, height, and depth, BESTÅ allows for comfortable storage of electronic devices and accessories, such as remotes or consoles.

• Dresser – with drawers or shelves, it can serve as furniture for the bedroom, hallway, or dining room. Thanks to the variety of fronts, it can easily be matched to the decor of any interior.

BESTÅ can also serve as a modern display cabinet – just add glazed fronts and decorative LED lighting to highlight a collection of glassware or decorative items. In a home library, it works well as a bookshelf – its stable construction and the ability to connect modules vertically provide full freedom of arrangement.

Personalization of fronts and accessories – details matter

A key feature of BESTÅ is the ability to personalize it. This is what allows you to change the appearance of the furniture without replacing it. You can select the color and texture of the fronts, the type of handles, and the legs depending on the interior style in which BESTÅ is to be placed.

With a wide selection of available fronts – from smooth and lacquered to ribbed and veneered in natural shades – you can create a piece of furniture perfectly suited to your preferences. Equally important are the handles – there are classic, milled, and handleless systems, which further emphasize the modern character of the furniture.

Elements that influence the final look of the BESTÅ system:

• Front color and texture: from matte to glossy to natural finishes

• Handle type: visible, milled, tip-on

• Base selection: metal, wood, or enclosed plinths

• Possibility of adding LED lighting: inside or under the furniture
