The basic character of Ikea Budbin kitchens is achieved by the predominant use of white and gray colors.
Often the panels are all made in the same color, but bold and successful solutions are also based on the proper combination of these colors. For example, often a gray palette is used on the lower part of the facades, and white on the upper part.

- plan where the kitchen will be, how much space it will take up - the main parameters;
- based on these dimensions, it is already possible to determine cabinets and drawers, their orientation and method of extension;

"Budbin" is characterized by wide frames, creating a classic style, this is especially beneficial when creating a Scandinavian kitchen style. The surface is smooth and matte, monochromatic, this creates a warm atmosphere and psychologically contributes to a calm atmosphere in the room.
Matte kitchen facades give the room a special coziness and create a real home environment.

The varnish coating of the facades ensures ease of maintenance and resistance to stains. By following simple rules, you can easily keep your kitchen clean.
The doors are designed for variable installation, that is, they can be made to open both to the right and to the left. The sizes of the elements and their shapes can be different - square, rectangular, wide and narrow, but no more than the classic style would allow.
Doors for cabinets can be mounted in different ways, depending on the convenience of the kitchen owner.

"Sevedal"
Among the Method modular kitchens, this model is not distinguished by anything unusual. “Sevedal” is a laconic design that combines the characteristics of country, classic and modern. White chipboard furniture facades of this series are made using plastic materials. In comparison with other compositions of modular kitchens “Method” from “Ikea”, according to reviews, it is the “Sevedal” sets that are considered the most modern. Perhaps the role here is played by the wider frames of the facades, which make the design geometrically correct.
The advantages of Sevedal kitchens from Ikea in reviews from users include the ability to complement them with any fittings, as well as the presence of a department for a dishwasher - built-in furniture is not capable of spoiling the appearance of the kitchen, unlike free-standing appliances. The cabinet doors are made of tempered glass - this is also a definite plus.
However, along with the advantages of white Ikea kitchens, there are many negative reviews. Light-colored sets (and Sevedal is made only in a snow-white tone) are not as practical as, for example, dark models or wood-look products. But at the same time, with the Sevedal set you can create a very interesting and extraordinary kitchen interior, interspersing bright elements and accessories, doors and panels from other Ikea collections.
Types and sizes of Ikea “Budbin” kitchen modules
The overall picture and functionality depend on the models and their sizes, so it is important to choose them correctly and take into account every millimeter. Usually this is done together with masters and specialists; they should not miss these moments. But a lot depends on the customer - the choice of parameters and their arrangement (preferably together with a professional).

And the front panels will make the design complete.

Cabinets hanging on the wall, located at head level, can be divided into types.

Colors and styles of Ikea “Budbin” kitchens
By showing your imagination, it’s easy to give the Ikea “Budbin” kitchen a special style, for example, country.
The style of the kitchen created by this method is the same and basic, which means it can be adjusted to the intended design. Typically designers resort to the following types:
- Scandinavian - white background and some multi-colored cheerful elements that serve as an accent;
- country – rustic style, indicating the owners’ preference for comfort rather than innovative innovations;
- loft - an industrial style that is not distinguished by the usual comfort, but has a special atmosphere and a modern approach;
- Provence - differs from country in its French notes and colors, many floral prints and images, soft lines, lightness of materials.
Bright details in the white Ikea Budbin kitchen will help create a special Scandinavian style.

The Ikea Budbin kitchen is usually done in gray or warm white. By complementing the interior with bright details, you can bring interesting room design ideas to life.
"Dalarna"
Another model of modular kitchens “Method” (Ikea). Reviews note the excellent quality of the products and harmonious combination with any interior style. A distinctive feature of Dalarna sets is not just a wood-look facade, but a natural solid wood. The furniture is made of birch, and the top is covered with a protective stain and a paint coating is applied. The model range includes not only cabinets, countertops, shelves, overhead and wall panels, but also wooden doors, plinths and a bunch of fittings.
"Dalarna" is available in two colors. In addition to white, standard for Ikea kitchens, in reviews with photos you can find many enthusiastic responses about black and brown sets. Modern consumers like this kind of furniture: it is elegant and at the same time practical.
Ikea kitchen facades “Budbin”
The main feature of this method lies in the facades, because they must be neutral, in a classical style. That’s why they were made invariably light in color, with wide frames and a matte finish.
The neutral-colored facades in the Ikea Budbin kitchen allow the designer to show his creativity by decorating the room with interesting details in bright colors.
This varnish additionally helps to protect the surface from unnecessary mechanical stress in order to preserve the original appearance of the product longer.
"Overbu"
This is a new model that was not in the previous model range until 2015. Despite the affordable budget price, a set of wall cabinets and floor cabinets looks fashionable and relevant. The facades are made of laminated chipboard, coated with paint or varnish. The choice of colors is almost limitless; the sizes and availability of removable shelves can also be selected to suit your preferences. The possibility of combining two or more bright colors in one headset is not excluded.
In reviews of Overbu kitchens from Ikea, one significant drawback is often noted: the lack of drawer closers, but at the same time they slide out very smoothly and easily. It is also worth considering that products from this series are sensitive to moisture. Wiping the surface with a damp cloth and then immediately with a dry cloth will not harm the cabinets. But if your kitchen always has a high level of humidity or there are problems in the ventilation system, it is better to refuse the purchase and choose an option that will be more resistant to dampness.

Examples in real interiors
Thoughtful design and excellent taste of the home owner are the key to creating a uniquely designed and functional kitchen.
Much depends on the style in which the owners decided to make the kitchen. If this is a Scandinavian style, then it is important to choose dishes in a bright color - preferably burgundy or mint, ultramarine is also suitable. You need to come up with a few more small elements of the same shade in the interior - a vase, chairs or curtains, for example.
It is relevant to use “Budbin” for Provence or country, because the milky color of the facades allows you to create an unforgettable combination of similar colors and different textures in a rustic style.
By adding accessories made from natural materials, you can create an amazing country-style kitchen.
So, the Budbin method from Ikea is a universal way to decorate a kitchen to suit your needs and tastes, because it is an excellent basis for implementing bright and bold ideas. It will not become an accent, but will not interfere with the accentuation of interesting and original objects, dishes and other interior elements.
A gentle combination of basic white color and pink floral motifs will create a unique Provence style.
You just need to choose the right set so that it is convenient to use and store dishes, kitchen utensils inside, and decorate outside.
