While you can transform a small space for as little as $500, we’ll work with an average IKEA material cost of $2,000 for this article. So, if you’re hoping to use this year’s tax refund to create a more functional laundry room you’ll actually want to spend time in, check out the designs below. A laundry room often doubles as a mud room. If you’re one of many [...]

Designing a Gloss White, Minimal IKEA kitchen in a Mid-Century Home

A review of how working with the right design professionals led to a successful white kitchen remodel. If you’re an IKEA customer who knows what they want, but your current space is far from what you need, it can quickly become overwhelming — and costly. Combine that with supply chain issues that impact IKEA inventory and delivery times and your entire kitchen project runs the risk of being further delayed or completely derailed. Not good! But fear not. By being resourceful it’s quite possible to transform even the most outdated layout — you just need professional design help and a solid plan. This is precisely what happened to IKD customers Bernice [...]

Why Homeowners work with IKD, versus IKEA, for their Laundry Room Design

Homeowner feedback on laundry room design sums it up We love IKEA. It’s why we base our designs on their products. IKEA products are affordable, good quality, and excellent space savers. If you’ve ever watched an episode of House Hunters International, you’ll know that any furniture store aimed toward a European market must maximize space. In the U.S., that has translated to furniture great for small apartments, starter homes, and dorm room living. We don’t always think about IKEA as being able to compete with solid wood furniture and luxury homes, but with the right design, it can. One area in which a professional IKEA design can elevate a space is [...]

A Contemporary IKEA Media Center Designed with a Warm Color Palette

Mixing IKEA products with other suppliers results in a unique media center design. Many design ideas are inspired by something a homeowner sees on a home improvement show, Pinterest, or while browsing furniture stores. They see a piece, fall in love, and then see the price tag. Homeowners love IKEA because most of the furniture available in the store is not only attractive but also affordable. Homeowner Robert did not fall into this thrifty category. He shared a quote with us from billionaire Warren Buffet: “Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.” His budget was a bit roomier than most, so he was [...]

An IKEA Closet Designed as a Large Room Partition

Customizing IKEA SEKTION Tall Cabinets for a Unique Closet Design Converting industrial buildings into apartments, office spaces, restaurants, etc., is an innovative trend. It’s sustainable, affordable, and an overall great investment. However, the high ceilings and massive rooms typical of these conversions can be both the draw and the drawback—especially when considering a living space. Michigan native Brad discovered this problem when he and his fiancé purchased an apartment in the newly renovated factory building near his hometown. The couple was excited about the modern space, and since neither wanted kids at that point, they were happy with a one-bedroom option. The apartment layout included a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, [...]

Small Kitchen Designs Inspired by Large IKEA Showroom Displays

Making IKEA’s BODBYN and SEKTION products work for a small kitchen design. IKD Customer Esther walked through IKEA’s showrooms and fell in love with the BODBYN kitchen. The showroom had off-white BODBYN drawer and door fronts on SEKTION cabinets, a white quartz countertop, a double sink, tons of storage, and an island with a butcher block countertop. However, Esther’s kitchen was only 90 square feet, and she struggled with cooking, storage, and workspace. Could the IKEA products she was seeing help solve her problems and upgrade the look at the same time? With the right design, any look is possible—even in a kitchen that’s 90 square feet or less. Those with [...]

A Small Laundry Room Design Making Good Use of Space – With IKEA Cabinets

How to add style and storage options to your IKEA laundry room design. If you’re an IKEA customer who assumes that a laundry room design means limited options, you may want to keep reading. Even smaller spaces — like the 120-sq. ft. laundry room designed for IKD customer Vern from Chicago, IL — can incorporate clever design solutions that add practical workflow and plenty of style. In Vern’s case, this meant a space featuring a stacked washer/dryer combo as well as an IKEA AXSTAD pullout cabinet used as a laundry hamper. “We wanted good use of space and we liked the idea of having the dryer stacked and using door covers [...]
