My dad has an ikea kitchen for like at least 20 years and it's still in amazing condition. If we ever redo a kitchen it'll be with IKEA cabinets -- I love the customization.
This is the best Ikea kitchen video I’ve seen! Thanks for your amazing job of showing the many options Ikea offers. I agreed, drawers are the way to go!
This is one of the best Ikea kitchen videos I've seen. My Ikea kitchen is currently being installed and like you, I chose Ikea, not only for price, but for all of the different cabinet combinations and their drawer organisers. My new kitchen is probably 90% drawers - its the way forward! Thanks again for this 👌👏😻
Drawers are great for organizing. To add on your point that you have 90% drawers, that’s perfect. I find it helpful to have some cupboards in your kitchen to allow for tall items and adjustable shelving because not all items will fit into drawers. Gorgeous kitchen and insight!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this video! I don't have an Ikea in my area so this helps me tremendously! I need to redo my kitchen and, like most people, it has to be done on a budget! Keep info like this coming!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful! I love IKEA kitchens and they are definitely overwhelming the first time you're trying to figure them out! You'll have to let me know if you end up doing an IKEA kitchen and how it turns out ❤️
My ikea kitchen was completed last summer 2021. For 3 months we got sick of Ikea bc we were always at the store. Mind you, the pandemic affected the supply chain. Also, we were adjusting our plan/design along the way. BUT I can confirm Ikea's kitchen line is sturdy. We went with all drawers and maximized the use of hidden drawers. My husband wanted the least amount of "lines" and so we opted for hidden drawers. Another thing is that we made use of every inch of our space and planned it so well we had no "dead" panels. It looks like a custom designed kitchen which is the best part of using Ikea.
Oh yes, the supply chain is still messed up! We are getting ready to plan out our kitchen and your message is getting me excited! Drawers are AMAZING! They are so much more useful then bottom cabinets. I bet your kitchen looks SOOO GOOD! ❤️
@@RaeanneMacklin So we ran into the issue with the availability of sizes and despite Ikea's discouragement, our contractor did do some cutting to shorten the height or width. A fellow Ikean I saw at the store said hers did the same thing. So long as there is reinforcement you are good. So our lines are straight across meaning drawer depths are uniform creating less lines and as I said, those hidden drawers are the best. Good luck!
Yess, I am planing to get my kitchen from ikea...and at the bottom I want all dravers, they are the best for everything and you can see things better than in cabinets...and for the upper part I will probably use only closed cabinets, because in my opinion it looks more neat and clean...if you have windows/glass you have to have stored everything perfectly... I will probably go for metod/stensund.
This was such a great video! Thank you for taking the time to share what IKEA offers in kitchen design. I will definitely be paying our local IKEA a visit soon.
Love your rewiew !! Anyway I have a quick question for side panel of island kitchen 10:05 I can only find island counter top but not side panel in IKEA online shop. Is it only for off line store ? or is it custom order?
You dont have to put them together yourself if you pay for a fitting service. My daughter just did this. Excellent service with an end result of a magnificent expertly fitted kitchen.
I'm so curious of american kitchen, they're so big ! What are you putting in all those drawers and cabinets ? It would be enough for a family of fifteen for most european
We are planning to purchase an IKEA kitchen. We’re deciding on which cabinet style. Do you know which cabinet style is the easiest to wipe clean? I had heard that the Bodbyn is easier to clean than the Axstad. Would love to know your insight on this. Thank you for this wonderful video. We loved it. 😊♥️
I just ordered my kitchen excluding countertop and no handles or flooring. All lower are drawers with the hidden drawer. I also have a pantry with a fridge built in. All my appliances have been ordered elsewhere. My total is $10k
That's a great deal compared to a "normal" cabinet company! The built in fridge in the best! I bet your kitchen will look amazing, I'm sure you're excited 😃
Raeanne, 🙌🏼👏🏼 This is amazing! Honestly you could work run the Corporate office at IKEA. They should sponsor you in your new house. This video completely sold me on their kitchen and all of the options they offer. I got some inspo from all the showrooms and options you highlighted. I don't have the budget to redo my kitchen but definitely making some changes where possible. In your experience have you purchased any items from IKEA that wasn't up to standards? I like their decor, textiles and some furniture but I've had some fails. For that reason I never considered them for a full kitchen install until now. Btw, in my next house whenever that is, I'll have to binge your videos. You gave some amazing tips 😊
Awe you're too sweet! I've had many IKEA products - comfy chairs, dining chairs, dining tables, bookcases, dressers, night stands, pax wardrobe system, cabinets, etc... I've loved everything! Of course some things like black furniture (specifically coffee tables or dining tables) has the potential to scratch easily but so does any black furniture. Honestly, I'd recommend everything I've ever gotten there!
@@RaeanneMacklin Good to know and coming from your years of experience, I trust that these products are worth the consideration. I agree. All black furniture scratches easily from anywhere. Thanks again! Have a great start to the week!
Hi, do you think Ikea will be having their 2023 20% off sale soon? Do they usually have it every year? I've been holding out but I need place the order very soon!
I live 4 hours away and if you design the kitchen using their design centre, the will pull items for you as the come in and put the aside for you. I then had them delivered. It cost a couple of hundred dollars but saved me from renting a truck, driving, load and unloading on my own. For some reason they have some items that are undeliverable therefore I had to go get them. Also when you place the Oder in store, you have to take the items they have in stock with you so please be aware of that. I had a Toyota RAV so I had no issues but I also did not have to pick up 90” cabinets.
Usually a few times a year! You'd have to go in or call and ask because they're never on the same dates. They usually have on in the Spring time though!
They usually happen 2-3 times a year and run for 90 days! I know there's one in the Spring - usually around April but that would last a while! I didn't see anything when I was in there except some countertops were on sale. I'd definitely keep an eye out and ask a worker!
I got them for no other reason than I am going to be selling my house in 5 years so if I am competing with other houses I wanted upgrades that other houses will not have to make my house stand out and get top dollar.
Raeanne, loved your video! I know it’s referencing your old kitchen but for your new kitchen you might want to consider different ventilation with the stove top. It’s not recommended in islands because you normally can only downvent which isn’t the best. It seems like a small thing but now more than ever we spend a lot of time in our homes and there are a lot of studies out about how we (Americans) have poor ventilation in our homes which may be ruining our health. Sorry for the random tidbit but you were so nice and added great value for us for our IKEA kitchen! Take care !
Thank you!! We checked out state's code on the ventilation at the time and it was fine to be in the island. It won't be at our new house since we don't have an island! I'd always prefer to have the stove on a side counter if possible!
Yes it was but we moved it to where a huge master closet was so there was no plumbing there! I want to say it was about $10k to move it to the upstairs, convert that master closet to an actual laundry room, we had lots of cabinets, new floors, butcher block counters, and that cost also included demoing where the laundry was before.
Hey Rayanne! Just curious, I think in a previous video, you said you moved about 6 times in 10 years, I know you want to be back closer to family, just curious why you move so often? Much love😘
LOL! We've lived away from family a few times so half of those moves were to be closer to family (one time closer to my parents, this time closer to my sister). Three times we moved to a different house in the same city - mostly because we thought we found our "forever home" but then ended up having to leave it for some reason. One house my husband lost his job and we were forced to sell - that was our last Michigan house and we LOVED that home 😥
"Be mindful of how you use your kitchen." (pun) Sage advice. Now. Don't put a cookbook next to the stove or cooktop. Better to use a tablet or a book rest that you pull down.
I like your design. However, when you narrate your kitchen design, I really want to see the kitchen with your voice. We have seen your face during the introduction so I believe after that showing your kitchen is very important. Of course, you have a beautiful face. But to understand your explanation better, please show your kitchen more.
I would love to show this kitchen off! However, we moved from this house a few years ago so I wasn't able to physically be there - just show pictures. But I am planning on doing an IKEA kitchen in our new/current home!
My dad has an ikea kitchen for like at least 20 years and it's still in amazing condition. If we ever redo a kitchen it'll be with IKEA cabinets -- I love the customization.
Wow that's amazing! 20 years is a LONG time! I love the customization too! 😍

Awe, thank you so much! IKEA kitchens are so fun but can definitely be overwhelming!
I’m curious about the IKEA quartz countertop and why you might go with a stone place instead this time. Thanks for your informative video!
I have that island at the 23:04 mark lol thanks for this video I'm remodeling my kitchen and this gives me great ideas.
Wonderful job of showing the many options. You're excellent at delivery and camera work!
Thank you very much!

Wow We areconsidering once we move and get a new home thanx for sharing !
You're welcome! How exciting you're moving!!!
We did Lerhyttan with butcher block and subway tile. I swear I hate that I'm almost done because the design and build process was so much fun!
Great minds think alike!! Yes, the process is totally fun! I'd do it again in a heartbeat 😉
Great video , so much inspiration. Look forward to seeing what kitchen you design in your new home 🤍
Thank you so much!!! I am super excited for all the new renovations 😉
@@RaeanneMacklindid u start your kitchen? I want to see.
Great indepth info. I'll be doing my kitchen and I like IKEA. Thanks much 🎉
You won't regret it! My mom and sister just redid their kitchens with IKEA cabinets!
Those light fixtures above your island are amazing on your old home!
Yes I loved those! Simple glass fixtures that were huge!! 😍
Wow, great video! Thanks!
This was such a great video! Thank you for taking the time to share what IKEA offers in kitchen design. I will definitely be paying our local IKEA a visit soon.
They really are so awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
Love your rewiew !!
Anyway I have a quick question for side panel of island kitchen 10:05
I can only find island counter top but not side panel in IKEA online shop.
Is it only for off line store ? or is it custom order?
You dont have to put them together yourself if you pay for a fitting service. My daughter just did this. Excellent service with an end result of a magnificent expertly fitted kitchen.
I'm trying to figure out what size drawer pulls to use. What is your method to determine size?
I move and need help with ikea kitchen...bobdyn or.....there are soo many beautiful cabinets
Thank you so much!!! Making my decision easier! Now just to convince my husband
LOL! I know, I can't wait to get ours ordered but just waiting for my husband to say go! haha!
So very helpful. Thank you.
Best Kitchen video, i am planning for a kitchen remodel and I think I am sold on IKEA.
You will love it! We are going to do an IKEA kitchen when we do our remodel and my sister just used their cabinets too!
I am planning on building a butler's pantry next year and I think I am going with Ikea cabinets. Thanks for your video!
That sounds amazing! They really are a nice cheaper way to give your home a makeover! And I really love the quality of IKEA kitchen cabinets!
I'm so curious of american kitchen, they're so big ! What are you putting in all those drawers and cabinets ? It would be enough for a family of fifteen for most european

Iam in project to renovate my kitchen, i hesitate a lot between bodbyn and axtad, have you any advice about witch one is better?
When are the sales??? Months, dates?
Do you happen to know the style name of that last kitchen? the new one that looks like wood with the black handles? thanks!!
Around the 26:15 mark? Organic Modern!
@@RaeanneMacklin thanks- I meant the name of the ikea cabinet front :) is it vedlamn?
In my next life…. But loved the video!

Thanks girl! We just bought a house 15 minutes from IKEA that needs a new kitchen and I’m def going to IKEA! You sold me
are they waterprrof?
Hi, do you think Ikea will be having their 2023 20% off sale soon? Do they usually have it every year? I've been holding out but I need place the order very soon!
yes they have it every year!! My mom just redid her kitchen with IKEA cabinets that were on sale!
What time of year do they have the ikea kitchen sales??
Usually March/April for sure and they last 90 days I believe! I read that they do the sales 3 times a year!
How about you separate the cost of the cabinets in the living room from those in the kitchen.
I wonder if we can reface kitchen with ikea?
Semihandmade is an online company and can do cabinet doors/drawers for any cabinet!
Do you know if ikea will do kitchens 3-4 hours away from their stores?
I think you should be able to. Just make sure they will deliver to your area. I'm 2.5 hours away and they deliver!
Thanks so much! ☺️
I live 4 hours away and if you design the kitchen using their design centre, the will pull items for you as the come in and put the aside for you. I then had them delivered.

Yes drawer and cabinet lights are a must have splurge item. Why? It means you can (laughing) still see in the dark. 😒😌😁
I got them for no other reason than I am going to be selling my house in 5 years so if I am competing with other houses I wanted upgrades that other houses will not have to make my house stand out and get top dollar.

Was moving the laundry expensive?
Yes it was but we moved it to where a huge master closet was so there was no plumbing there! I want to say it was about $10k to move it to the upstairs, convert that master closet to an actual laundry room, we had lots of cabinets, new floors, butcher block counters, and that cost also included demoing where the laundry was before.
Lights in drawers? Yes, please.
Yes wouldn't that be wonderful?!!!
It is awesome. I am glad I made the investment.
you can only get the custom "cover" for your dishwasher if you buy from IKEA. If you already have your own dishwasher, they CANNOT accomodate.
Now do they have everything in stock…..there’s the rub.
oh I know! It's been so crazy lately! I want to do another IKEA kitchen so I'm really hoping to purchase again soon!
Hey Rayanne!
