Family Makes IKEA Kitchen Remodel A Natural Fit

Customers who entertain will get plenty of ideas from this remodeled kitchen For IKD customer Timothy from Sykesville, MD and his family, his renovated IKEA kitchen design took a natural progression. Literally. “When we moved into our house, the kitchen was extremely dark with the floor, cabinets, countertop, and a lack of natural light.

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.

IKEA kitchen maximizes space, style and storage

Credit: Let There Be Light Photography Knowing what you want is half the battle with kitchen designs.

Outdated space becomes stunning modern IKEA kitchen

SEKTION cabinetry can be the foundation of a a dynamic Mid Century Modern design For IKD customer Lindsey from Atlanta, GA, her recent IKEA kitchen remodel was a classic case of “out with the old and in with the new.” How else to describe a previously cramped and outdated space that has turned into a large, Midcentury Modern kitchen?
