Customer Remodels IKEA Kitchen Back In Black

Making an all-black kitchen work requires a modern sensibility — and the right IKEA cabinetry Going from a light-colored kitchen to one featuring black cabinetry might seem like an unusual kitchen design idea, but for one IKD customer, it was the perfect choice. Sandrine, from Jacksonville, FL, explains: “We didn’t want a typical kitchen. Going with black was scary, and we had to mix my European taste for a clean line kitchen with my partner’s taste, which was modern farmhouse with character. So we chose a black kitchen remodel with very white, modern countertops.” Specifically, this IKEA kitchen features IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework with IKEA LERHYTTAN upper and base cabinetry with black [...]

What to expect from the IKEA online planning service

A thorough walk-through of IKEA's Home Planner design process If your IKEA kitchen idea is somewhat simple and you're not asking for much, then the IKEA Home Planner is the perfect solution for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for custom kitchen design solutions that maximize your IKEA design without the worry of wasted time for multiple revisions, or wasted energy trying to navigate the design process alone, then consider IKD’s design services. As experienced designers, we at IKD know that the IKEA Home Planner can be notoriously buggy, complicated and time-intensive. So we want to provide you options. Of course, there are IKEA customers who will (understandably) inquire [...]

Why IKEA kitchen customers design with IKD

Walking through the IKD online design process step-by-step When potential customers come to us to design their IKEA kitchen, it’s because they’re researching kitchen design ideas and kitchen design service options. But mainly they want something more from their kitchen design. They've saved and planned for their new kitchen for months, maybe even years. And after researching kitchen design ideas, and debating whether to choose between IKEA RINGHULT or IKEA BODBYN to go along with IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework, for example, they realize they could design it themselves – or even use IKEA’s design services – but something feels uncertain. Limited even. Maybe they had difficulty navigating IKEA’s notoriously buggy Kitchen [...]

Remodeled IKEA kitchen provides a custom fit

Creative custom cabinetry applications will maximize space and style Sometimes, when there is limited space the possibilities are endless. So says IKD customer Nicole from Seattle, WA, who – with guidance from IKD’s design team – turned her small 118-square-foot kitchen into a fresh space full of storage options. Here’s another quick snap at the opposite side of the kitchen: “We wanted to have as much storage space as possible, but also make it feel more open and modern, and look timeless in our 1944 bungalow,” she says. To achieve this, Nicole selected IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework with IKEA MAXIMERA drawers and IKEA UTRUSTA hardware combined with custom Supermatte White shaker [...]

Modern IKEA Kitchen Has European Style Without Breaking The Bank

Creating a modern kitchen design theme using SEKTION cabinetry is an affordable option For her IKEA kitchen, IKD customer Charmaine from Long Island City, NY, wanted European style without European cost. “We met with several high-end European kitchen companies and we didn’t think it was cost effective to move forward since the cost was almost the same amount of our labor expense from our contractor. We decided IKEA was the best choice since it can achieve the same European style at a fraction of the cost,” she explains. More specifically, she also wanted to achieve a high-end look with her appliances while making sure the cabinetry was installed properly. All within [...]

Customers make IKEA kitchen twice as nice

Experienced DIYers explain the installation process and how to be your own contractor Ask IKD customers Maggie and Greg from Rockville, MD and they’ll tell you their IKEA kitchen is twice as nice. After all, this is the second kitchen the couple has done, with Maggie – an experienced home renovator – installing the cabinetry and acting as general contractor. “In this project we were removing a wall, installing a new window, interlacing new hardwood with existing, moving every major appliance and adding a dishwasher. It was a blank slate, which was both exciting and daunting,” Maggie explains. With that in mind, the couple had three specific design wishes for the [...]

What IKEA Can’t Offer During Your Kitchen Redesign

Why Hiring Professionals Helps with Kitchen Redesign and Budget Before you begin your IKEA kitchen project, there are a few things you should know: What you want How to get what you want with minimal stress How to put it all together – with even less stress We’ve heard this time and again from our customers here at IKD, but it’s also okay to “not know what you don’t know.” Hiring a professional kitchen designer will make a huge difference by filling in those gaps. IKEA provides the framework, but IKEA can’t fully understand your design needs or those of your kitchen. A professional kitchen designer can. Inspired Kitchen Design is [...]

A European style IKEA kitchen with a mountain view

An IKEA kitchen featuring European styling and plenty of storage One of Jason and Shannon’s top wishes for their new home build was a kitchen that made the most of their view of Okanagan Lake and the surrounding mountains. We spend so much time in the kitchen preparing food, eating meals, and cleaning up. I thought, we should be able to look at something nice while doing it. – IKD customer Jason The couple also wanted a European style IKEA kitchen laid out in an open way. After struggling to make the IKEA Kitchen Planner work, they found IKD and it handed it over to us. [...]
