Sektion® System — IKEA®-Compatible
Premium architectural
fronts for IKEA® SEKTION®.
The Sektion® System combines IKEA®'s practical cabinet platform with ORLO.Haus's fronts, panels, fillers, toe kicks, appliance panels, and curated finishes.
Use IKEA® for the cabinet structure. Use ORLO.Haus for the visible design layer: architectural fronts, warm materials, clean panel details, and a more refined modern kitchen experience.
For homeowners, designers, contractors, and remodelers using IKEA® SEKTION® cabinet boxes.

The IKEA®-Compatible PathThe practical foundation of IKEA®.
The practical foundation of IKEA®.
The design language of ORLO.Haus.
The Sektion® System is our IKEA®-compatible kitchen path. It uses IKEA® SEKTION® cabinet boxes as the structural platform and replaces the visible layer with ORLO.Haus fronts, panels, fillers, toe kicks, appliance panels, and finish details.
This gives you the practicality and accessibility of IKEA® cabinet boxes with a more refined, architectural result.
Instead of choosing standard IKEA® fronts, you choose a ORLO.Haus front collection and finish library.
IKEA® provides the platform. ORLO.Haus creates the finished kitchen expression.

Upload Your IKEA® Plan →What IKEA® Provides
IKEA® provides the cabinet platform.
The Sektion® System is built around IKEA® SEKTION® cabinet boxes. IKEA® typically provides the cabinet frames, interior drawers, hinges, shelves, legs, suspension rails, and internal accessories.
ORLO.Haus then creates the visible exterior layer that defines the finished look of the kitchen.

A Premium System, Not a HackThis is not about making IKEA® look less like IKEA®.
This is not about making IKEA® look less like IKEA®.
It is about creating a complete modern kitchen expression.
The Sektion® System is not a cheap shortcut or a random door replacement service. It is a coordinated front and panel system designed to make IKEA® SEKTION® work as the structural base for a refined modern kitchen. The difference is in the visible details: front profile, material quality, finish selection, panel layout, grain direction, toe kick treatment, appliance integration, and how the parts come together.

Design Details & RulesThe details make the kitchen
The details make the kitchen
feel intentional.
A premium IKEA®-based kitchen depends on more than the door finish. The final result depends on how all visible parts work together. ORLO.Haus helps think through the details that make the difference.
Grain-matched COVE detailImage placeholder
- 01
Grain direction
For wood kitchens, grain direction is planned intentionally. Drawers may use horizontal grain, while tall doors often use vertical grain depending on the design direction.
- 02
Panel layout
Cover panels, appliance panels, island panels, and tall side panels should feel coordinated, not accidental.
- 03
Fillers and reveals
Fillers should resolve gaps cleanly and maintain a consistent visual rhythm.
- 04
Toe kicks
Toe kicks should support the design, not feel like an afterthought.
- 05
Appliance integration
Panel-ready appliances require careful review of manufacturer specifications and IKEA® system limitations.
- 06
Handle logic
For integrated handle collections like COVE, handle direction and front orientation must be planned consistently.
Pricing Guidance
Pricing depends on size, finish, and scope.
Every Sektion® System project is different. The final price depends on the number of fronts, panels, fillers, toe kicks, appliance panels, finish type, material, grain requirements, and delivery or installation scope.
A small kitchen with simple painted PLANE fronts will price differently than a large white oak COVE kitchen with tall panels, appliance panels, island panels, and grain-matched details.
For the most accurate quote, upload your IKEA® plan and select your preferred collection and finish direction.

Sektion® vs Core
Is Sektion® System right for your project?
Sektion® System is a strong path for many modern kitchens, but not every project should be built on IKEA® boxes. If your design requires unusual dimensions, premium interiors, more complex appliance integration, or deeper project customization, the Core System may be a better fit.

- You are using IKEA® SEKTION® boxes.
- Your layout works with IKEA® sizing.
- You want premium fronts and panels.
- You want a more accessible project path.
- You already have an IKEA® kitchen plan.
- You are comfortable with IKEA® interior systems.
Made-to-Order
Choose Core System if…
- You need made-to-order cabinet sizing.
- You want premium interiors.
- You need more hardware options.
- You have complex appliance integration.
- You want a full-service kitchen system.
- Your designer or architect needs more flexibility.
