So with IKD’s help, the design began to take shape.“Our plan was to install IKEA cabinets because we knew the quality, durability, flexible sizing and ease of installation was top notch,” she says.She especially wanted an open layout between the existing kitchen, dining room and living room space as well as efficient storage space using cabinets and drawers.
“We wanted to leverage experts who could help us get the best design and layout for our kitchen renovation and the space we had available,” she says. However, she knew she needed design help to bring her idea to life.
Let’s see how Tina’s kitchen came together! Making It WorkĪfter spending a significant amount of time researching examples of kitchen designs on HOUZZ and other design sites, Tina began to formulate a kitchen design concept. The results? An eye-catching, bright - yet, warm and inviting - IKEA kitchen that definitely doesn’t cut any corners. “Most of our budget was spent on actual components since we did about 80% of the renovation work ourselves,” she adds, noting that she found a local contractor in Yellowknife to install the countertops and island. Impressively, Tina accomplished this with a total cost for IKEA products of $3,596.96! The look is complemented by stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and Black Walnut Butcherblock on the center island along with an ample amount of natural lighting.
Tina combined IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework with the Perfect Sense door model in Alpine White along with custom door and drawer fronts, toe kicks, trim and panels - all from Kitch Designs. “IKEA cabinets provided a high quality, durable product at an amazing price,” she adds. And with design guidance from IKD, she was able to pinpoint a design wishlist that featured an open design concept a multi-purpose island and an efficient use of storage space - all while staying within a budget of $20,000. Pretty unique challenge, right? Well, Tina already knew she wanted to use IKEA cabinets,and luckily, was able to find custom door company, Kitch Designs in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, along the way. Our biggest concern then was making sure that all items were available and that we didn’t miss any items that we would need for our installation since we couldn’t just ‘pop back’ to an IKEA Canada store to get any missing items.” She explains: “The biggest obstacle for was that we needed to drive 5000km (2500km each way) to pick up our cabinet order, traveling from Yellowknife to Calgary. After all, she not only basically installed her recent IKEA kitchen remodel herself, but also drove 17 hours (each way!) to visit the closest IKEA Canada store for her project.
