Family maximizes space in 1950s-style IKEA kitchen

Galley-style kitchens like this offer great opportunity for the whole family The family that designs together stays together. This was the approach for IKD customer Alexandra, from Hurley, NY, and her family when they set out to preserve the original galley kitchen footprint for this new IKEA kitchen in their 1950s modern home. “We liked the existing layout, but we needed more storage and wanted to improve the space’s functionality. We cook every day, but the kitchen is also used as a passage to other parts of the house. It took us some time to think about different design solutions to clarify the space, but it was a process that the whole family [...]

2023 IKEA Mud and Laundry Room design resolutions

Our IKEA designers share Laundry Room design tips For many of us (myself included), 2018 was the year of the kitchen renovation. We like to refer to the kitchen as “the heart of the home” (personally I’d like to refer to it as the “command center”). We spend a great deal of time there - whether meal prepping, entertaining, doing homework or arts and crafts with the kids … you name it. With an IKEA kitchen, you can maximize your storage to accommodate to them and other tasks. But let’s be honest for a moment: we redid our kitchens - we invested in new appliances, selected beautiful countertops and backsplash for [...]

IKEA SEKTION kitchen solutions for your hardworking mudroom

The essentials of designing a mudroom that is functional, durable and stylish Modest Cousin to the Foyer. The name mudroom does not suit every example, and in some homes, it will be more of a multi-purpose room, rather than simply a catch-all of shoes and coats. As an entry to the home, it serves as the workhorse cousin to the foyer. Typically, the less formal of the two, an IKEA mudroom designed with IKEA SEKTION cabinet solutions, can be a seamless extension of the home’s design sensibility. So, how do you create the mudroom design plan that will support organization and your family’s unique lifestyle? Functional considerations IKD will help you [...]

The 3 ways Heather made her IKEA kitchen look high end

Making your kitchen look high-end an IKEA budget is totally possible When we interviewed our customer Heather for our blog, one of her first remarks was, “This is our 3rd home build, but it was the first time I had the guts to use IKEA in a kitchen.” We were intrigued! Why did building a kitchen with IKEA take guts? Was it the stress factor of using the Kitchen Planner? The fear factor of IKEA running out of stock during a sale? Or was it the aggravation factor of navigating the IKEA store maze over and over? Nope. Heather was concerned the kitchen wouldn’t look high-end enough for its eventual re-sale. We’d [...]

The best things come to those who wait – like this IKEA kitchen

This IKEA kitchen showcases maximum storage and a fresh look When Liz and Bennett moved into their new home 8 years ago, they knew the “really dark and hideous” kitchen was high on their list of renovations. Why? Because the kitchen really set the tone for the entire house because of the layout. Liz and Bennett enjoy having friends over for dinner frequently, and wanted their home to feel welcoming and comfortable. But then life happened. Other home repairs, like the roof, demanded urgent attention. Turns out the best things come to those who wait. This beautiful classic style IKEA kitchen has several artistic touches we think [...]

When the most interesting man in the world buys a kitchen, he buys IKEA

This IKEA kitchen offers design possibilities for the serious cook Unless you’ve been living under a rock like one of the Geico cavemen, you know The Most Interesting Man in the World. He doesn’t always drink beer, but when he does, he drinks Dos Equis. IKD customer Chip is definitely a candidate for The Most Interesting Man in the World. He’s an artist, retired graphic and industrial designer, and a gourmand who loves to cook. You’d think someone with artistic gifts like Chip’s would opt for a high-end kitchen line for his new home. But you’d be wrong. Imagine Chip saying, “I don’t always buy kitchens, but [...]

How the odd couple got their perfect IKEA kitchen

Making an IKEA kitchen work for multiple uses takes a deft design touch Most of our customer interviews start with an important question: “why did you want to remodel your kitchen?” IKD customer Jamie said, “You mean aside from the fact that my kitchen was ugly?” We’re not ones to judge…but the customer is always right! The other issue with the kitchen was how the counterspace was so broken up by appliances, there was only 24” of space on top of the dishwasher for food preparation. Since Jamie prepares all the meals for the week on Sunday, she definitely needed more room for this undertaking. The kitchen [...]
