Why did you select IKEA's cabinets? We liked the flexibility and functionality of IKEA cabinets.  They offer tons of options and accessories be it the cabinets themselves or the organizers that go in the drawers/cabinets.

Got an awkward kitchen? how IKD made it work in this IKEA kitchen

Even the most challenging footprint can produce dynamic results like this IKEA kitchen Some kitchens come in standard, easy-to-design shapes: galley, L-shaped, and U-shaped kitchens are typical.

Or was it the aggravation factor of navigating the IKEA store maze over and over? Nope. Heather was concerned the kitchen wouldn’t look high-end enough for its eventual re-sale. We’d [...]

A Flintstones kitchen gets a Jetsons update with IKEA

An outdated space is turned into a modern IKEA kitchen Okay, we fibbed a bit in our title. Our customers Georgia and Nick’s original kitchen wasn’t really from The Flintstones era. With its original 1955 metal cabinets and mint green backsplash, it certainly felt like it was from the Stone Age. Needless to say, the kitchen wasn’t exactly their style. The cabinets were also in bad shape (sorry, vintage kitchen lovers) and there wasn’t enough room for a serious chef like Georgia to get to work. So with some help they took down the wall between the kitchen and dining room and turned it all into this [...]
