Design a personalized media center by getting creative with IKEA product customization

Make your media center unique and attractive by mixing door styles, colors, and IKEA products. TV has become America’s favored pastime. With popular series coming out a season at a time instead of an episode at a time, it’s no wonder that 22% of Americans watch more than 4 hours every day. It’s also no wonder that more and more people are seeking media centers that they visually enjoy. The straight-out-of-the-box look is out, and the warm, cozy furniture look is in. The only problem is that these attractive designs can cost upwards of $5,000—and they still aren’t customized. This homeowner needed to figure out how to get the [...]

This is exactly what happened to customer Michael from Baltimore, MD, when he decided to remodel his inefficient and modern-styled home office. “I moved into my home in the [...]

Guidance from design professionals kept her Farmhouse kitchen on track and under budget. You’re a first-time IKEA customer — perhaps even an experienced DIYer — and you’re ready to start your farmhouse kitchen remodel. But your kitchen isn’t exactly ready for you. It’s got structural issues. And we’re not talking about small ones. We’re talking about a structural element that holds the plumbing for the master bathroom that’s located directly above your kitchen. Mess with that and you’ll have even bigger problems. So let’s just say that’s probably something you’ll want to address before you wind up all wet! This is exactly what happened to IKD customer Melanie from Highlands Ranch, [...]

IKEA Walk-In Closets: With or Without Doors?

Walk-in closet customers aren’t as open as you'd think! As certified IKEA designers we’re seeing IKD customers obsess more about their IKEA closet design than their IKEA kitchens. How could that be? Well it actually makes sense. People associate the closet as their own unique space that reflects their personal style. And it’s a space that people need to keep them organized. A kitchen is (typically) shared so there is compromise involved. Today’s home owners are even listing each article of clothing they own on an inventoried spreadsheet! And the shoes — dozens and dozens — need yet another spreadsheet. So closets really need to be organized. How would you decide [...]

3 Laundry Rooms you won’t run from – with IKEA and Semihandmade Doors

Who says that Laundry Rooms can't be designed as stylishly as a kitchen? For most folks their laundry room design is an afterthought. A collection of old cabinets and other storage cast-offs.

These three homeowners thought that way; combining IKEA SEKTION cabinets with custom touches that create unique storage opportunities, increased efficiency and loads (get it?!) of customized style.
