Let’s get started with your new kitchen!
1. Find your kitchen style
Take some time to dream a little, look at some ideas, consider your needs and decide what you want in your ideal kitchen. We have tons of kitchen ideas so you can explore different designs and solutions that inspire you. Once you determine what your needs are and what your ideal kitchen looks like, you’ll for sure find a perfect match at IKEA.
Consider if you’re more of a classic type who likes a kitchen with lots of visible drawers and details...
...Or if you like a more modern approach with streamlined designs and drawers hidden behind larger fronts...
...Or, perhaps you’re somewhere in between and want the best of both worlds?
2. Measure your kitchen
A great plan starts with a great measure. Be thorough when measuring your kitchen. It’s important to take your time to get your measurements correct. This will form the foundation of all your planning. You can do it yourself with our measuring guides or schedule a virtual appointment with one of our measurement technicians. The fee is refunded with purchase of IKEA kitchen installation.
3. Plan your kitchen
Planning your kitchen is when your dreams and ideas take shape. There are a lot of things to consider and think about. Take your time to make sure you end up with the kitchen you wished for. Think about how you normally use your kitchen and what feels comfortable for you. Look at your existing kitchen and make a list of the things you like and what you’d want to change.
