But, there’s a rub. You (and your spouse) work full-time and have kids. Say no more: You’ve got big remodel plans and no time to get it done!

Three of our Favorite IKEA Kitchen Designs (and why they’re on our home page!)

Unique design details and products create a holistically beautiful space. To say there is a lot to consider when designing an IKEA kitchen would be an understatement. There are building codes, appliances, ventilation, and—of course—aesthetic to consider. On top of that, you must be aware of how you use the space. Who spends the most time cooking? Is the laundry area in or near the kitchen? Do you use the space to socialize? Would it function more effectively with a double oven? Is there room for an island? Do you want an island? When living in your kitchen, it can be challenging to view the room objectively. You may recognize that [...]

Will there be an IKEA Kitchen Sale in 2023?

IKD has the inside scoop on the 2023 IKEA Kitchen Sale! Since COVID-19 worked its black magic and created a worldwide supply chain issue, we’ve been left with many questions and few answers: Will we ever look at our toilet paper stock the same way again? What do we do with all these masks? And, perhaps most pressing, will we ever see the IKEA Kitchen Sale again? Well, ladies and gents, there is a light on the horizon.

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 [...]

Fortunately, if you collaborate with design professionals, chances are you’ll feel like an expert when your kitchen project is complete. This was what happened for [...]

IKEA’s pre-cut laminate countertops will make your kitchen lovely for less

Design using IKEA pre-cut laminate countertops without sacrificing style. Most homeowners go a little weak-kneed when they see a quartz countertop. And granite? Perfection.Then they see the price, and that feeling becomes something more like a heart attack. With IKEA’s laminate countertops, you get the look of quartz and granite (stone) for a fraction of the cost, or you can choose a look that’s impossible to achieve with stone—also for a fraction of the cost. With the right product and design (and maybe even the right sale), you’ll get the kitchen you want while saving about 90% of the amount you’d spend on other countertops. Why has “laminate” become a bad [...]

IKEA Kitchen Corner Cabinets for L or U-shaped Kitchen

Base corner cabinets can be difficult to access; we designed ways for easier access and more storage.You may feel backed into a corner by your corner kitchen base cabinet, or as we like to call it, the place where heirloom casserole dishes go to die. It’s practically impossible to design a kitchen without a less-than-convenient corner base cabinet, but there are only two alternatives:Leave the corner “dead,” meaning don’t put anything there because it won’t be accessible anyway.Design your kitchen with “straight runs,” meaning don’t create corners at all so your cabinet space is easily accessible.However, for most homeowners, corners cabinets are a design reality. After all, they often provide an extra [...]
