IKD’s Cabinet Storage Checklist for Your IKEA Kitchen

Some kitchen storage needs are universal. Make sure you’ve considered them all by using our kitchen storage checklist. With IKD, no two IKEA kitchen designs are exactly alike. However, there are certain elements that every kitchen needs, or you can’t really call it a kitchen. You’d have to call it “an appliance and stuff room” or something equally ridiculous. When imagining your IKEA kitchen redesign, it’s only natural to focus on aesthetics. You want the new cabinets, granite countertops, better lighting, and hardware without decades of dirt built up in the crevices that your mother-in-law says you should just take a toothbrush to but no one actually has the time for [...]

A lot goes into remodeling a kitchen, and the design and supplies are just a fraction. We include an extra items list in our IKEA kitchen design package because many people forget to account for things like cabinet rails, hinges, and trim in their kitchen budget.

Need a Second Look at Your IKEA Mudroom Design?

Having IKD review your IKEA mudroom design can save you time, money, and Tylenol. Creating an attractive, built-in mudroom can be a fun (or at least satisfying) weekend project if you have a straight forward design and easy-to-follow instructions. Otherwise, it’s a headache.

However, installing a custom mudroom takes more than an idea and determination; it takes design knowledge. We can take your vision and help you get the look you want while ensuring the new addition is structurally sound and optimized for storage. Whether you have nothing more than an idea and [...]

IKEA Kitchen Organization Tips from IKD Pros

Consider how you use your IKEA kitchen when creating a functional design At Inspired Kitchen Design, we help ensure our clients don’t jump into an IKEA kitchen renovation unprepared. The only thing worse than redesigning a kitchen on a whim is designing one that doesn’t work for you. This happens more often than you might think. We have customers who see a kitchen on HGTV, Pinterest, or in a showroom, and they fall in love. They don’t always stop to consider whether this “perfect kitchen” is perfect for them. For this reason, IKD always asks kitchen design customers to consider three vital questions: How do you use your kitchen? Who uses [...]

IKEA Installer is Building its Name One Kitchen at a Time

How a new cabinet installation collaborative is helping IKEA customers get a professional-style IKEA kitchen Before beginning your DIY IKEA kitchen project, keep one thing in mind: Even the most experienced IKEA customers elect to hire professional installers instead of attempting to assemble and install their IKEA cabinets themselves. Why’s that? It’s not necessarily a reflection on your installation skills. It may be due to a lack of time (people work and families are busy); prior poor experiences attempting a DIY (it might have taken longer than hoped or (gasp!) there were issues with the measurements); or perhaps a lack of qualified IKEA cabinet installers are in your area. Or maybe, [...]

IKEA Mudroom Designs with Storage Galore

Some people think they have to choose between a mudroom and a closet; we say, “Why not both?” Who doesn’t like getting more bang for their buck? These IKD customers decided to go all out on their mudroom design by adding plenty of extra storage, essentially receiving two designs for the price of one. They saw an opportunity to create a more organized entryway and more storage for other items in the home. In the image above, the homeowners removed the coat closet to install the IKEA storage bench seat and wall hooks, but they made up for the loss with wall-to-wall cabinets that offer more storage than their closet ever [...]
