IKEA kicks a DDD (dated, dark, and dingy) Chicago kitchen to the curb

Giving an outdated space an update with IKEA cabinetry is easier than you think Close your eyes and imagine you’ve inherited a historic yet swanky condo/apartment in Chicago with a kitchen that has a major case of DDD: Dated Dark Dingy The solution to the DDD threat is obviously a new IKEA kitchen. (This is the IKD blog after all). But now factor in: You can update the kitchen, but you have to do it before you can move in You live in Maryland at the moment and flying back and forth to Chicago or living in a hotel is out of the question Your nephew is an architect and you’re [...]

A modern farmhouse kitchen for a self-described "IKEA freak"

Personalizing your kitchen is very possible using IKEA cabinetry IKD designed a modern farmhouse kitchen for Sharon and Steve’s brand-new home. We always have fun designing IKEA kitchens in new home builds. Without further ado: Sharon describes herself as an “IKEA freak” and if you look closely in the photos you can see other IKEA touches, such as the pillows on the sofa and the INGOLF bar stools. Because they were starting with a blank slate, Sharon and Steve gave IKD full rein over the design. They loved the first kitchen design draft we came up with and made no changes – a first in IKD history! [...]

The surprising thing about this IKEA kitchen design

This IKEA kitchen is a masterclass in how to create a custom look We hate clickbait just as much as you, so we’ll tell you right away: IKD designed this IKEA kitchen. But, the owner ended up not using IKEA for her kitchen! It’s a non-IKEA kitchen. Instead, a carpenter used the IKD plans to build Bronwyn a custom kitchen. Here it is: It sure looks like an IKEA kitchen with grey BODBYN doors. That had been Bronwyn’s plan, but when her carpenter saw the plans he offered to build custom cabinets for less. We’d call that an offer she couldn’t refuse. To understand Bronwyn’s kitchen, let’s start [...]

This timeless IKEA kitchen reno is big-A** but all class

Large islands can work very well in IKEA kitchens Any home built in the 1970s has its quirks, and IKD customers Andy and Michelle’s was no exception. Their home was what’s known as an “upside down” house because the kitchen and living areas were upstairs. The first floor was one open room with a small wet bar in one corner. When they bought it, Michelle knew she wanted to flip that house right side up. The new IKEA kitchen would go in the corner where the wet bar was, so they wouldn’t need to move any plumbing. And when they bought it, they began right away! And [...]

How the odd couple got their perfect IKEA kitchen

Making an IKEA kitchen work for multiple uses takes a deft design touch Most of our customer interviews start with an important question: “why did you want to remodel your kitchen?” IKD customer Jamie said, “You mean aside from the fact that my kitchen was ugly?” We’re not ones to judge…but the customer is always right! The other issue with the kitchen was how the counterspace was so broken up by appliances, there was only 24” of space on top of the dishwasher for food preparation. Since Jamie prepares all the meals for the week on Sunday, she definitely needed more room for this undertaking. The kitchen [...]
