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 [...]

Three IKEA kitchen cabinet designs under $4,000

Using IKEA cabinety for budget friendly and stylish design options Customers often ask us if IKEA's kitchen cabinets are as inexpensive as everyone says. They know that IKEA's a great brand, and their cabinets are well-built—but how do they compare in price to Home Depot or Lowes? Or other brands? It's hard to know, especially since IKEA just offers the product pricing, with no assembly or installation costs. While the other brands include both. There's very little information or references about IKEA's complete kitchen cabinet pricing. So we’ve decided to help by showing a series of IKEA kitchens that we designed, and the actual cabinet costs. Of course all IKEA kitchens [...]

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 [...]

(This is the IKD blog after all). But now factor in: You can update the kitchen, but you have to do it before you can move in You live in Maryland at the moment and flying back and forth to Chicago or living in a hotel is out of the question Your nephew is an architect and you’re [...]

A modern farmhouse kitchen for a self-described "IKEA freak"

Personalizing your kitchen is very possible using IKEA cabinetry IKD designed a modern farmhouse kitchen for Sharon and Steve’s brand-new home. We always have fun designing IKEA kitchens in new home builds. Without further ado: Sharon describes herself as an “IKEA freak” and if you look closely in the photos you can see other IKEA touches, such as the pillows on the sofa and the INGOLF bar stools. Because they were starting with a blank slate, Sharon and Steve gave IKD full rein over the design. They loved the first kitchen design draft we came up with and made no changes – a first in IKD history! [...]

This timeless IKEA kitchen reno is big-A** but all class

Large islands can work very well in IKEA kitchens Any home built in the 1970s has its quirks, and IKD customers Andy and Michelle’s was no exception. Their home was what’s known as an “upside down” house because the kitchen and living areas were upstairs. The first floor was one open room with a small wet bar in one corner. When they bought it, Michelle knew she wanted to flip that house right side up. The new IKEA kitchen would go in the corner where the wet bar was, so they wouldn’t need to move any plumbing. And when they bought it, they began right away! And [...]

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 [...]

Does this classic Atlanta bungalow have an IKEA kitchen? Only her designer knows for sure

This modern IKEA masterpiece took a true design collaboration In the 1950s, ads for Clairol hair dye asked “Does she…or doesn’t she? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.” Women in the 1950s didn’t want anyone else to know they dyed their hair. Now it’s 2017 and the equivalent question is, “Does she…or doesn’t she have a kitchen from IKEA? Only her designer knows for sure!” If you find yourself exclaiming that when you see the photos of Sabrina and Chris’ (almost completed) kitchen, we can’t say we blame you. Chris and Sabrina’s IKEA kitchen came together with the help of architect Jordache Avery, Semihandmade doors, Custom Assembly & Installations, [...]
