Frequently asked questions
Customers tell us that they respect that we’re certified kitchen designers; they’ll invest lots of time and money for their kitchen and want to work with a pro! They like how we design their entire room, holistically, not only the cabinets. How their design is presented in high resolution color using professional 2020 design software. Something else, design revisions are a normal part of the process; most homeowners modify their designs. We work with design revisions with the same energy as their original design.
We’re told that the completeness of our Design Packages provides a roadmap for their project. Our renderings, floor plans, elevations, IKEA material lists and pricing, extra item list (for customization and installation) and countertop templates provide a complete roadmap for their project.
IKD guides homeowners through their kitchen design journey.

Here’s a few Past Projects with Semihandmade doors:

Here are a few past projects with RAS internal organizers:
Yes, one of our design strengths is personalizing our customers IKEA kitchen and other room designs. Homeowners that want to utilize all usable room space and create their own design aesthetic – and not be restricted to IKEA’s standard sizing.

Also our Design Customizations configure standard IKEA cabinets into unique and practical design solutions. Also our Cabinet Configurations configure standard IKEA cabinets into unique and practical designs.
We certainly do. All designs are finalized using IKEA’s Canadian Home Planner.
You’re Protected by our Pre-design Measurement Guarantee. Don’t worry if the kitchen measurements you take might be wrong or insufficient. Or if they have mistakes that could lead to design errors.
Before beginning your design, our design team reviews your measurements, photos, and videos. We focus first on the critical areas: ceiling heights, spacing between windows, doors, and overall room dimensions. We then look for moldings, AC/heating ducts, radiators, soffits, plumbing, and electric.
If we determine that any measurements are missing – or incorrect – we’ll work with you until they’re right. We’re so sure your measurements will produce an error-free IKEA kitchen design that we guarantee it. If an IKD design, measurement error, results in additional labor and material costs to fix, we’ll pay for it.
Yes. Send us your architectural plans and define the closets, mudrooms, laundry rooms, pantry, home bar or kitchens you’ll want designed. We’ll design and work with you as outlined in our Design Packages page.

Homeowners have been sending us their room measurements for years. Ranging from very simple sketches, to those completed on free plan layout apps, or even professional measuring services. They all work!
We know what to look for and what measurements are critical. We’ll also compare your measurements with your room photos and videos to be extra-sure. If we do discover measurements requiring clarification, we’ll be in touch with you.
Sketch your measurements and send – we know the rest.
