IKEA’s Besta cabinet offers storage space in a sleek and modern design that many have come to love. It’s practical, simple, and is easily customizable. It can be styled in several ways to offer even more than just storage. Don't know where to begin when styling your Besta piece? We have gathered a few ways to style your Besta cabinet that you can try at home:
The cabinet bench
Who said a cabinet can only be used for storage? Make your Besta cabinet even more functional by also making it a place to get comfortable. Add a cushion and some throw pillows to add extra seating in your home. Store blankets, extra pillows, magazines, and books in the storage area of the cabinet to enjoy while relaxing on your Besta bench.

Entertainment center
Make the ultimate entertainment center for your living area using only Besta cabinets. Combine floor standing Besta cabinets with floating cabinets for a modern, clean look. This allows for a lot of storage space to hide media consoles and wires.

The buffet cabinet
Buffet cabinets are great to have when it comes to entertaining guests in your home. However, they tend to be more in the expensive price range. But with a Besta cabinet, you can make one that is affordable and customizable.

The custom Besta
Match your Besta cabinet to your style by replacing the doors and panels. Simply choose the size of your IKEA Besta frame and which direction you would like the doors to open. Choose from several patterns and colors and consider adding legs or hardware to make your cabinet piece stand out. Our cane doors are perfect for Besta cabinets being used as part of an entertainment or media center as they allow sound and signals to penetrate through them while hiding less-desirable looking cable boxes, routers, and/or soundbases.
The extra kitchen counter
Need more counter space in your kitchen? Don’t be afraid to use your Besta cabinet. This is a great hack for smaller living areas that need a bit more room to store kitchen items. You can store items below, within, and above the Besta cabinet giving you more space for your buck.

The media cabinet
Stay organized and keep all your media items in one place. Besta cabinets offer tons of storage and fit vinyl records perfectly. Spice it up by adding legs and having no doors for easy access.

Stacked storage
This layout isn’t often the first idea that comes to mind when styling Besta cabinets. Not only do they look great styled horizontally, but they can also be placed vertically. Consider stacking Besta cabinets to add new dimensions to your home. By mixing doors with open storage, you will achieve a stylish storage area.
