Exploring the IKEA Ecosystem: More Choices in Products & Design Services

An Insider’s Look at the World of IKEA Without a doubt, IKEA is a world unto itself.

Semihandmade is considered a pioneer in the growing IKEA ecosystem of “hacking” IKEA products and providing stylish and affordable cabinet door options that fit IKEA kitchens, bathrooms, closets, and media systems.

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.
