About our art
What kinds of art do you offer?
We seek art that is both functional and beautiful. Each piece is designed to be durable for daily use, such as drawer fronts or accessories.
Presently, we offer drawer front replacements to upgrade your IKEA MALM furniture.
How do I care for the art?
Our philosophy is that art should be low maintenance: usually cleaning with water or a dab of soap. Always test in an inconspicuous area.
Product care varies by product, but you may wish to view the epoxy resin art care guide.
Since each piece is handmade, please follow the instructions included with the piece. However, do contact us if you have any questions.
What general precautions should I observe?
These art pieces contain small parts that may pose choking hazards for children and pets. Ensure that the art piece and its accessories are securely attached to your furniture, or stored safely away.
Please avoid the use of chemicals or cleaners on the art. A dab of water and a microfiber cloth is best.
The art pieces are durable but do contain a variety of materials. Excessive force or sharp objects can damage the product such that small parts may fall away. Should this happen, please secure these pieces away from children and pets, then Contact Us for advice on how to repair the product.
Direct sunlight and heat can affect the art pieces. We suggest placement of your furniture away from these heat and energy sources. Over time, some change in color, clarity, or patina is expected to occur since materials do age.
To remove moisture and spills, generally a microfiber cloth lightly moistened with water is best. Paper towels are made of abrasive wood pulp and that can mar the surfaces, especially on the epoxy resin.
Scratches on the art piece are difficult to remedy. Epoxy resin pieces can be retreated, but the process is quite lengthy. Solid wood art is easier to repair but does require specific equipment.

About IKEA modifications
Why offer IKEA hacks?
We love IKEA furniture and believe in extending its usefulness in your home by adding artistic touches. IKEA is one of the world’s most loved and purchased brands, so it enjoys a wide install-base.
IKEA is a trademark of Inter IKEA Systems B.V. and is not affiliated with MODxMOD FURNISHINGS.
Why are these drawer front mods only compatible with MALM 2-drawer chests?
To ensure proper fit and so you may continue to upgrade your IKEA MALM drawers, specific attachment points must be maintained. The MODXMOD FURNISHINGS drawer front replacements are milled for the MALM 2-drawer chest pattern and have been tested on units as recent as Spring 2025 as well as units as old as 2005.
If you have questions regarding the compatibility of your current furniture, please contact us prior to purchase.
Are your drawer fronts compatible with the STORKLINTA series?
No, we apologize that due to the placement of attachment hardware we can only be compatible with IKEA MALM 2-drawer chests at present. While the two cabinets may appear similar in size, they are engineered differently.
It is not possible to reconfigure the hardware pattern for the STORKLINTA series.
How do I contact you for fitment and compatibility questions?
Please send us a message on the Contact Us page.
How do I install these art drawer fronts?
Each product has their own installation guide. For example, to install the 40x20cm drawer fronts (equivalent to 15 3/4" cabinet size), please view this guide: Installation Guide: 40x20cm Art Drawer Fronts
Will you be creating your own furniture? Is there a MODxMOD FURNISHINGS line?
Why, yes! A line of our own furniture is in the process of development. These things take a lot of time; please be patient!
Other common questions
How do I tighten a loose handle?
In most cases, using a simple small screwdriver will do. Always tighten by hand gently. Do not use excessive force as some wood canvases may be soft.
If you find the handle will not stay firmly attached, please contact us for advice and a resolution.
My product accessories may be slightly different than the photo
We take product photos when the products are ready, however there may be occasions when we feel a small part may need replacement, such as a screw, a dowel, a pad, or some of the instruction cards.
The resulting product may not perfectly match the same product image. However, the main body of the product and noticeable features should be the same such as the handle color.
