Hello everyone, I have a challenge planning my Ikea Metod kitchen: How do I fit kitchen units perfectly under a sloping ceiling?

Specifically, I’m looking at how to install base cabinets and wall cabinets beneath a slanted ceiling without gaps, while ensuring the furniture remains stable despite the roof slope. I also want to know the best way to adjust the top edge, whether special trims or cuts are needed, and which angles should be measured to ensure a really precise installation.

Has anyone had experience with Metod kitchens under sloping ceilings? What tips or Ikea products are especially useful? And what’s the best approach if you don’t have access to industrial cutting machines? Any advice is much appreciated!

I agree with that and would like to add a tip: When using a jigsaw, it’s best to apply masking tape along the cutting line – this prevents tear-out on the veneer.

And yes, patience is key! That way, you’ll succeed in fitting the kitchen precisely under the sloped ceiling. 😎

Absolutely, exactly that with the tape!

And PS: Also invest in a good dust extraction system for the jigsaw; it makes handling much more comfortable and improves visibility.

In the end, you will be proud – no matter how complicated the roof slope is!
