IKEA kitchen maximizes space, style and storage

Maximizing storage in a small IKEA kitchen is a matter of working with what you have Knowing what you want is half the battle with kitchen designs. This was certainly the experience for IKD customer Evelyn from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, who knew from the start she wanted IKEA cabinetry for her new kitchen. “I’ve always wanted IKEA cabinets. I love the look of them and have always explored the show kitchens when in an IKEA store. I know they’re good quality, functional, flexible and economical,” she says. This was crucial because she and her husband were looking to remodel a small, outdated and inefficient kitchen into one with light, [...]

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 [...]

This was the case for IKD customer Richard from Pacific Palisades, CA, who along with his wife, recently moved from their primary residence to a guest house they had constructed on their property – in large part due to how well their new IKEA kitchen turned out. Richard explains: “The structure is a two-story, 641-square-foot guest house that we built in the back of our property. My wife and I moved here 25 years ago and raised our two children in this house. Now our children have graduated college [...]

Every inch counts in remodeled NYC IKEA kitchen

Custom islands like the one in this project are an example of the possibilities with IKEA kitchens Designing an IKEA kitchen can be a game of inches. This was the case for IKD customer Brian from Brooklyn, NY, who recently remodeled his galley-style kitchen to accommodate very specific design needs. He explains: “It’s not the biggest kitchen (15'5"L X 8' W), so it was a challenge fitting everything in and having adequate counter space. We cook every day and also entertain a lot. It opens into a good-sized dining room with a large table so it’s easy for everyone to talk while making dinner.”Therefore, Brian and his spouse required having a [...]

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 [...]

Common IKEA customer home planner mistakes part #1 – appliance/sink location

How to avoid disastrous appliance issues in your IKEA kitchen IKD customers often complete their IKEA kitchen design using IKEA's home planner and send it to us because they're not sure it's right. They want a second set of professional eyes to review it for errors -- or how it can be improved. They don't have any kitchen design experience and it's too hard to design with IKEA's home planner. They'll be spending a substantial amount of money for the cabinets -- and they'll have to live with their design for the next 20 years -- they're worried. It makes sense to work with an IKEA kitchen design professional. We know [...]

Why did you select IKEA's cabinets? We liked the flexibility and functionality of IKEA cabinets.
