Good morning everyone, I am planning to install an Ikea Metod kitchen, and I have a specific question: How can I mount Ikea Metod kitchen cabinets without drilling holes into the wall? My issue is that in my rental apartment, I am not allowed to leave any holes in the tiles or the wall behind. I understand that Metod models usually require drilling holes for wall mounting brackets, but are there alternative, secure methods to attach the kitchen cabinets that are sturdy enough and avoid damaging the walls? I need a solution that is practical, safe, and as permanent as possible, especially for heavier wall cabinets. Does anyone have experience with this or tips on what to consider? Thanks in advance for your help!
I would also be careful to ensure that the loaded cabinets are not supported only by tension between the ceiling and floor, but are properly braced to prevent any twisting. Sometimes heavy-duty shelving or industrial-grade profiles can be used as a base. Important: Never support the cabinets only on one edge; the load should be distributed as evenly as possible over a large area.

For me, tension rods from floor to ceiling were enough to hold a single wall cabinet. Exactly, it sounds simple, but it’s often the best solution. Pro tip: choose rods in a color that matches the kitchen—this way, it looks much more stylish! The brackets won’t rotate if they are properly secured. This way, you get a stable kitchen without nails in the wall and keep your landlord happy!
