Hello everyone,
I will soon be moving into a new rental apartment and plan to use IKEA Metod cabinets as a storage solution in the kitchen. However, I am wondering which Metod cabinets or components are especially suitable for rental properties, where you want to avoid damage to walls or are not allowed to make many changes to the apartment.
Therefore, I am interested in an assessment of which modules are particularly flexible, whether it is best to use freestanding carcasses without extensive wall mounting, or if there are also recommended wall-mounted options that can be removed without leaving any marks.
It would also be helpful to know which cabinet types or combinations are suitable for small to medium-sized kitchens while remaining sturdy and stable, without requiring much wall drilling.
It is also important to know if certain Metod fronts or hanging systems leave fewer marks in case everything has to be disassembled when moving out.
Looking forward to your experiences and tips!

Base cabinets with legs, combined with IKEA Metod hanging rails for wall cabinets, are the best compromise for rental apartments. This way, I minimize drilling holes.
There are no sticker or clamp solutions available for Metod, so gentle drilling with appropriate anchors is the only option.
It is best to choose melamine-coated fronts, as they are more durable.

I recently equipped my rental apartment with Metod and can truly say: freestanding base cabinets are a dream! No worries about holes in the wall.

- Freestanding base cabinets with legs are usually the simplest option.Absolutely! However, I also had wall cabinets that I mounted with hanging rails. They can be removed very easily, and the holes left behind are really minimal.So don’t be discouraged—there are definitely practical solutions for renters. Your plan sounds great! Good luck 🙂
