Has anyone installed the new IKEA Grimslov brown?

7 years ago

DH and I visited an IKEA today to look

at their line of cabinets. We went in fully expecting to go with the Bodbyn gray, which was lovely, but we both really like the new Grimslov brown, which is replacing the redder brown they’ve carried previously. When I search the web, though, I’m not seeing any kitchens with this color. Probably because it’s so new but I’d love to see it in a different space than their showroom.

Here is a pic of their new display:

And FWIW, the sales lady said a green Bodbyn is scheduled to roll out in September and a light gray Grimslov is in the works.

A green Bobdyn?! That could be really nice. I wonder what shade green. We used the white Adel cabinets (old version of Grimslov) in a previous kitchen and are trying to decide on a door style for our upcoming kitchen remodel. I have not seen the new Grimslov brown; I will have to check it out.

This is the color difference between old and new. The new looks very nice in person.

Better but still looks like blotchy maple stained. Don't need the "V" grove at the joint either.

@jdesign - the sample shown looks blotchy but the full display did not. I'm not sure why they chose a door with the blotchiness to be their display piece :/ According to their info, it's a birch veneer. We still have a while to choose and I'll be very interested to see what a Grimslov light gray would look like. I don't love the V groove but it wasn't bothersome in the display. I could certainly live with it for the price difference (about 1/2 of what we were quoted by a local shop for partial overlay doors only and about 1/3 of what we were quoted for Kraftmaid).

Maple, birich, same look. Birch is cheaper. You can get better doors for their cabinets than they offer. Here's walnut with 3/8" solid reversed raised panel center not thin birch plywood. You would show the wood not try to cover it with a semi opaque stain. More $ than IKEAs but not as much as the others.
