IKEA kitchen opens up design possibilities for customer

According to Lian, she chose IKEA cabinetry because it made a lot of design — and budget — sense. “We looked around for a while and realized that most kitchen cabinets were well outside of our budget. Even the cheapest ones we found. We decided to go with IKEA cabinets, using Semihandmade fronts to give them the upscale look we were hoping to achieve,” she describes. Semihandmade Impression Tahoe fronts are featured on the center island, with ample storage space in the base drawers; as well as on the large dual-door pantry area and the upper cabinetry above the refrigerator. Additional base cabinetry flows from the refrigerator to the pantry area around the oven, and the IKEA RINGHULT fronts highlight the upper cabinetry above the oven. The RINGHULT cabinetry provides more storage options for dishes and glassware as well. The look is also enhanced by IKEA’s cabinet lighting system, which Lian says she’s very happy with. “It’s such an affordable and beautiful solution to add undercabinets light. We love the remote control feature as well,” she describes.
