IKD Customer Takes No Shortcuts with Her Kitchen from IKEA Canada

Reviewing how an IKEA Canada customer overcame unique obstacles to install her kitchen One thing you can say about IKD customer Tina from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada: She doesn’t take shortcuts. After all, she not only basically installed her recent IKEA kitchen remodel herself, but also drove 17 hours (each way!) to visit the closest IKEA Canada store for her project. She explains: “The biggest obstacle for [our family] was that we needed to drive 5000km (2500km each way) to pick up our cabinet order, traveling from Yellowknife to Calgary. Our biggest concern then was making sure that all items were available and that we didn’t miss any items that we [...]

IKEA Kitchen Gives Midcentury Home Some Modern Appeal

Updating a Midcentury-styled home with a modern IKEA kitchen gave this DIY customer the European flair he was seeking Sometimes it’s a good thing to be a flash in the pan. So says IKD customer Jeffery from Allentown, PA, who recently remodeled his previously outdated kitchen to include a lot of modern flair (and function) for his family’s new IKEA kitchen. He explains: “We have a Midcentury home built in 1957. A modern, Euro-style kitchen from IKEA seemed like the perfect fit for our clean, minimal aesthetic.

IKEA Kitchen Opens Up Design Possibilities For Customer

Budget-friendly design options are showcased in this open floorplan IKEA kitchen Simply put, the right open concept kitchen design leads to a lot of possibilities. Such was the case for IKD customer Lian from Hartsdale, NY whose new IKEA kitchen provides her with open space; clean lines; and a warm, yet modern design "that feels expensive but didn’t break the bank,” she says. “We spent countless hours online at HOUZZ and other design Web sites looking at examples of kitchen designs in order to narrow it down to the style we liked,” she explains. So with a budget of $25,000 (including the appliances and fixtures), Lian chose IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework [...]

An IKEA Kitchen Island Design Gave a Big Boost to Her Kitchen

Remodeling your space is possible as long as you have a clear design idea When IKD customer Ann from Claremont, CA, needed to remodel the kitchen in her newly purchased home, she turned big kitchen design plans into big results. “I didn’t like the existing cabinetry [in the original kitchen]. There was too much oak, too much stainless steel and the cabinets did not go to the ceiling. But I did like the layout,” she explains. So after doing research on kitchen design ideas, including visiting a lot of design Web sites for inspiration, Ann began to pinpoint what she wanted: A big IKEA kitchen island for eating, cabinetry that went [...]

Our Designers’ Picks: IKEA’s New Kitchen Items

Getting insider perspective on the top IKEA new products for 2020 Each year the IKD kitchen designers anxiously wait for IKEA's catalog. It's nice to go through the pages and find inspiration and new items, but the truth is we want something more than just a picture showing a new beautifully eclectic serving cart.

So, how can IKD certified kitchen designers create the best IKEA kitchen for you if you aren’t aware of ALL the products available? Our designers have put [...]

How to Calculate the Cost of Your IKEA Kitchen Remodel

Measure and Calculate to Keep Your Kitchen Design On Budget For most IKEA customers, their new kitchen is as much about affordability as it is about efficiency. We've seen this repeatedly as we guide customers through the IKEA cabinetry selection process and their final kitchen design. You should know that the IKEA door style and kitchen measurements are the first things professional designers ask a homeowner about when embarking on a kitchen renovation. They're also the two most important things for your budget. IKEA's design services offer a swift quote for a standard kitchen measurement. However, it could be more reliable. These prices are deeply flawed because they refer to a [...]
