Are All Drawers the New Doors in IKEA Kitchens?

Homeowners who value both form and function request them for their IKEA kitchen designs. We can all agree that rollout trashcans are the best thing to hit kitchen design since the dishwasher. Your garbage no longer takes up valuable real estate on the kitchen floor, and you no longer have to struggle to access a hidden garbage pail. It began with solutions like those brought to you by Rev-A-Shelf internal cabinet organizers. If you utilize something like Rev-A-Shelf’s soft-close aluminum bottom-mount waste container, you can fit your garbage and recycling in the same cabinet and have easy access to both.

An IKEA Kitchen Remodel for an 1870s Farmhouse: Part 1

How one homeowner said goodbye to years of kitchen dissatisfaction thanks to an IKEA kitchen remodel from IKD. Old farmhouses are charming, but they often have little quirks that just don’t fit with modern home design. One of these common culprits is a small kitchen. It wasn’t so long ago that people were just excited to have indoor plumbing and a way to cook without stoking a flame. In short, old farmhouse kitchens valued function over form, and as new kitchen gadgets and appliances became the norm, even functionality began to diminish. This is the issue homeowner Thomas has struggled with since the day he bought his Maryland farmhouse. Over the [...]

This was the challenge facing customer Tracey from [...]

Kitchen Cabinet Organizers: Rev-A-Shelf vs. IKEA

Designing Functional Kitchen Cabinet Organization and Storage IKEA sells internal organizers in addition to everything else they provide, like cabinets, furniture, countertops, appliances, Swedish meatballs, pink toilet paper, dog-butt wall hooks, and succulents. The point here is that while IKEA is an amazing place to shop for household products, they don’t specialize in a particular area of the home.

Go With the Flow: Creating Flow in Your IKEA Laundry Room Design

And, no, (laundry room) size doesn’t matter. Laundry rooms are multitaskers. They serve their purpose as a convenient space to do laundry, but they’re also a catch-all for cleaning supplies, overstock items like toilet paper, and even gift wrap. (After all, a folding surface can also serve as a gift-wrapping surface.) How do you organize such a versatile space? The answer is flow. Skilled designers know that, like a kitchen work triangle, laundry rooms need to make sense for the tasks you’re completing. There are five main components to doing laundry, and your IKEA laundry room design must accommodate them: Sorting Washing Drying Ironing (If you’re into that.) Folding You may [...]

A Virginia IKEA Kitchen remodeler paints “Racoon Fur” on Her Project’s Semihandmade Doors

“We started the project with a local kitchen designer, but then found that our requests were not being prioritized.” You’re looking to make a bold statement with a major kitchen remodel (including tearing down your existing kitchen and establishing a new kitchen in another part of your home), and you know you want to use IKEA cabinets.

Three Uniquely Designed IKEA Coffee Stations

If creative design and IKEA SEKTION cabinets had a baby, it would look like one of these coffee stations. There is something comforting about a favorite coffee shop: the smell of freshly brewed coffee with the background noise of typing, chairs scraping, and friendly chit-chat. The barista knows your name and usual order. However, you can’t always justify a trip across town to your favorite spot, and if you start thinking about how four coffees from Starbucks cost about as much as an entire can of Maxwell House, you may feel a little less comforted. While nothing can replace the occasional escape to get a triple-shot oat milk chai, the new [...]
