Every inch counts in remodeled NYC IKEA kitchen

Custom islands like the one in this project are an example of the possibilities with IKEA kitchens Designing an IKEA kitchen can be a game of inches. This was the case for IKD customer Brian from Brooklyn, NY, who recently remodeled his galley-style kitchen to accommodate very specific design needs. He explains: “It’s not the biggest kitchen (15'5"L X 8' W), so it was a challenge fitting everything in and having adequate counter space. We cook every day and also entertain a lot. It opens into a good-sized dining room with a large table so it’s easy for everyone to talk while making dinner.”Therefore, Brian and his spouse required having a [...]

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! [...]

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 [...]
