Have you seen them in the store or just pictures? In person, they are nice and thick, sturdy doors/drawer fronts - noticeably thicker than the Bjorket they replaced (which is what I have). Did you see that the glass doors are kind of a chicken wire vibe? I wasn't a fan of that look. I didn't really love the Torhamn in the big display in the store. Interestingly, I did really like the Askersund, even though they are flat panel. I found the pattern/colors soothing and I'm thinking about using them in a long bath vanity.

Have you looked into any of the companies that provide a huge variety of fronts to fit Ikea cabinets?

I have seen them in person, but at the time I was paying more attention to the function of the cabinets and their interior fittings. I agree that the chicken wire look of the glass cabinets is a bit unattractive, but I can see one benefit is that it makes it easier to arrange the shelves -- you don't have to match the shelves to the glass rails.

The doors themselves do seem well made....I wonder if painting them would be possible, and maybe cheaper than buying something from Semihandmade ... It does seem a shame that there's not a plain wood shaker.

Anyway, I'm familiar with the many companies offering fronts to Ikea cabinets, I was just interested in seeing real life pictures of THIS style. :) I put "Torhamn" in Instagram and came up with a handful of pictures from a couple. who have used that style in their kitchen renovation. It looks really nice! It works because they have very few uppers and their kitchen has beautiful light. The pattern doesn't seem overwhelming at all.

I debated for ages, then finally decided on Askersund, because the Torham felt too busy and I disliked the safety glass look of the glass doored cabinets. We're doing our kitchen in a piecemeal fashion, but I am very pleased with the Askersund. I love the sleek mellow look, ease of cleaning, and chameleon-like nature of them- choose a different handle and the look is markedly different.

We have them in a basement wet bar. It's a small run, just 7', and lowers only. We have a dark grey countertop (Ikea's concrete-effect laminate) and white subway tile from counter to ceiling.

I love them, but I'm not sure if I could do them in a traditional kitchen setting... but I'd definitely do it in one with open shelving and a slightly modern vibe.

Try googling IKEA Torhamn in www.google.de , www.google.se for example. And then click on the results in that respective language.

There may be some pictures you haven't seen yet.

The Swedish search shows a couple of Torhamn kitchens that were painted (Mala?)

What a good idea, I never would have thought of that. And it turns out there are Swedish and German Houzz sites as well, where I came across this:

Hmm. It's a look, that's for sure.

This is digressing, but that approach is also especially useful where IKEA products have a different name abroad, e.g. the Savedal front in Europe, which in the US is the Grimslov.
