IKEA kitchens in the interior in 2021 [120 real photos]

Benefits of shopping at IKEA

By purchasing furniture from IKEA, you can quickly furnish your interior on a turnkey basis. The stores offer all the goods necessary for this. And due to modularity, it is convenient to vary the final price of the system so as not to exceed the budget. Other advantages of shopping in Swedish brand stores:

1. Low cost. Furniture is made from recycled materials and recyclable materials. This is how IKEA saves resources and reduces costs. This allows you to reduce the price of goods.
2. Full picture of the interior. At IKEA you can purchase furniture and components, storage systems, decor and accessories - all at once and in one place. The buyer sees how all the details will look together.
3. Easy to assemble. To participate in the creation of furniture, you do not need to be an engineer. Each module and system comes with detailed instructions.
4. Comfort in shopping. Free pencils and rulers, no pushy salespeople, and the ability to touch products on the spot make the process of choosing furniture more fun and enjoyable.
5. Stylish solutions. To follow fashion, IKEA updates a third of its products every year. At the same time, it remains possible to combine elements purchased earlier.

Color palette in the Provence kitchen

Since the style came to us from the countryside, you need to understand that color combinations vary widely, the only rule here is the absence of brightness and catchiness. Such freedom of choice confuses the consumer and the question arises: what to choose? The choice is based on the style of the entire apartment, your budget and color preferences. There are also a large number of ready-made solutions that can be found in agencies. We will look at widely used options

Soft blue shades and calm white

Refinement is the main feature of the French province; it can be felt even in the most unsightly things. How is this achieved? Let's take a closer look at some details:

1. The walls are decorated with a barely noticeable pattern, so that from a distance they appear monochromatic
2. A wide but small Provence chandelier in the center of the kitchen will add charm to the atmosphere
3. Line of style even in sideboards: dishes in the Provence style with light country-inspired designs are in harmony with the naturalness of the set, which will look nice in greenish colors
4. An integral inhabitant of such a kitchen is a bulky wall clock made of wood and glass. A pendulum clock would come in handy here.
5. Many lamps in the work area, decorated with light fabric or forged metal

Blue nuance in the Provence style for the interior of the kitchen
Pay attention to an essential detail of this style: the Provence kitchen accepts only light wood floors; it is not recommended to use tiles or laminate, since such material will stand out greatly from the overall naturalness of the kitchen.

Nuances of choosing ready-made Ikea kitchens: tips for buyers

Three steps to buying a kitchen:

1. Make sure IKEA fits. The Swedish company's stores have a large assortment of facades, but not all colors are available. The same applies to sizes. For non-standard premises, furniture from IKEA may simply not be suitable.
2. Get inspired by ready-made projects. There are many ideas for kitchen equipment in catalogues, on the website and in stores. You can choose the style, color, and some design features.
3. Start planning and finalize the design. Even with a finished project prepared independently, it is worth contacting IKEA employees to check and prepare the order.

After this, all that remains is to order delivery and assemble the new furniture. You can order assembly (+ 7-10% of the cost of the kitchen).

Placement planning

Before you go to the store for an Ikea kitchen, you need to take measurements yourself or with the help of a specialist and choose a layout. For example, the placement of a stove with an extractor hood and a sink is determined by communications. It is advisable to arrange the refrigerator, other equipment and functional areas according to the working triangle rule.

You can focus on ready-made kitchen solutions presented in catalogs, on the website and in stores. It features stylish color combinations, convenient layouts and storage systems with carefully selected accessories. But the options you like need to be compared with the features of your kitchen in terms of area, layout, etc.

Design

There is a free planner on the official IKEA website. To get started, you need to register. After entering the parameters of the room, taking into account projections, communications and sockets, you can begin planning.

First, you should place the sink and large household appliances, then cabinets, storage systems, and decorative elements.

The result will be a finished kitchen model. The price of all added products will be calculated automatically.

Module sizes

As part of this system, the company produces modules of several possible sizes:

• width: 20, 40, 60, 80 cm;
• frame height 80 or from 140 cm (pencil cases, sideboards and tall cabinets for built-in appliances)
• depth: 61-62 cm and 38-40 cm.

Standardization of IKEA furniture sizes is both an advantage and a disadvantage of the METHOD system.

On the one hand, standard parameters allow you to assemble the headset yourself by selecting modules of the desired type and functionality.

On the other hand, the system does not take into account the design features of the premises.

Small kitchen with U-shaped set METHOD (gray facades “Budbin”)

Despite its shortcomings, the IKEA METHOD system still remains one of the most popular among buyers. A wide range of sizes allows you to assemble a set that will suit most kitchens in apartments or private houses. This meets the main principle - universality.

Kitchen IKEA METHOD “Ringult” (glossy) in a Khrushchev apartment

Another important principle is practicality, which is expressed in the ability to quickly and easily replace the necessary elements - frame, plank, cornice, etc. This is convenient and practical in case of damage to individual parts or if you want to inexpensively and without unnecessary hassle update the kitchen interior that has become boring over the years.

The METHOD kitchen can be composed of several functional and additional parts:

• frames of floor and wall cabinets;
• facades;
• table top;
• plinths and legs;
• overlay panels, strips, cornices.

For a series of videos on how to assemble a METHOD kitchen from IKEA with your own hands, see below:

General information about the modular system "Method"

The versatility of IKEA kitchens is determined by the Method modular system. All elements of the set are fully consistent with each other, which allows you to freely plan the space. You can combine cabinets of different colors and sizes according to the design principle.

Main features of the designer

Thanks to the included steel wall rail to hang the modules evenly, detailed instructions and the use of the modularity principle, the set can be completely assembled by 1 person, even without special skills. But this is not the only feature of the system:

1. A large assortment. The drawers vary in height and depth, there are modules with and without a closer. Several cabinet height options are available. Buyers can choose from more than 20 types of fronts and 30 types of handles.
2. Reliability. The stability of the headset is ensured by galvanized steel frame. The “Method” modular system is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty of 25 years.
3. Combination with other rooms. IKEA supports the popular trend of combining the kitchen with the living room, dining room and even hallway (convenient for owners of small studio apartments). We offer universal cabinets that are suitable for any room.

Pros and cons of shopping at IKEA

We are all very demanding and sometimes even capricious when it comes to service or product range. And this is easy to understand, because everyone wants everything in the apartment to be perfect. But, as the English proverb says, “Nothing is perfect”... And man is designed in such a way that he first of all pays attention to shortcomings.

That's where we'll start. Why? Yes, because there are much fewer advantages, and besides, we intend to prove that this is mostly just nit-picking.

The first argument that can be found quite often is high prices. It is truly amazing, because... The company just became famous thanks to its very budget proposals. Let's look at what is included in the price of a ready-made IKEA kitchen:

Frames; Facades; Panels; Tabletop; Accessories; Cornices;

Boxes; Bases; Shelves; Legs; Washing; Faucets.

All this can be complemented with wall accessories, railings, lighting, kitchen chairs, household appliances, doors, etc. that suit your style. There are even stickers on furniture legs and anti-traumatic corner attachments for children! And if you are concerned about the environment and sort garbage, you can buy 2-3 buckets that fit perfectly in the cabinet.

Plus, judge for yourself - how much time you will spend approximately choosing and purchasing such kitchen equipment separately. Add a couple of hours for transport, a certain number of minutes in line, consultations, and, possibly, the return of unsuitable parts... And time today is the most valuable resource.

Isn’t it more profitable to purchase everything at once, moreover, with a guarantee of complete compliance of all elements with each other? We are sure you will easily cope with the calculations.

The next undeserved accusation is the small selection of colors and shapes. And this is true when it comes to furniture decorated with feathers and inlaid with gold or rhinestones. But for ordinary queries the choice is quite large.

The assortment includes paneled, glass and glossy facades from pastel to fashionable bright colors. Moreover, the IKEA model range is represented by such design directions as:

• classic;
• modern;
• Scandinavian style;
• Provence;
• country.

And for a reason. These are the most popular design styles today, which makes such proposals more than rational. A little later in the article, we will definitely show several photos of examples of modern and classic IKEA kitchen interiors.

And the last quibble is that the materials from which the furniture is made are easily soiled and require maintenance, depending on temperature conditions and humidity. But, you must admit, any material, and especially natural, requires certain care, in the absence of which it may lose its shape. In addition to solid wood, fiberboard and chipboard are used for the production of kitchen facades and furniture frames.

This makes IKEA kitchens a more economical option, but rather an ideal combination of our price and European quality. Find out what other companies offer, and at the same time ask if they have the same modular system, which we will talk about a little later.

What are the advantages of buying kitchens from IKEA?

You can most often hear the following reviews from customers: inexpensive, fast, high quality, convenient, functional, compact. In addition, stylish IKEA kitchens:

• made of high quality and practical materials;
• easy to assemble yourself (+ there are many videos on YouTube);
• easy to repair and replace parts;
• suggest a large selection of combinations of cabinets, numbers and shapes of drawers;
• have a 25-year free manufacturer's warranty;
• have a beautiful appearance and pleasant colors;
• will be delivered as soon as possible;
• can be purchased by paying in installments;
• united by the “Method” modular system, which allows you to arrange furniture for rooms of the most complex layout.

All internal kitchen equipment can be purchased gradually and separately.

Style diversity

IKEA is not only Scandinavian style. You can choose open modules with bright inserts, arrange them in a non-standard way, or give preference to natural shades and traditional shapes. There are options for those who are close to the modern approach and minimalism.

All style solutions are united by a common design, so they can be safely combined to create a unique kitchen.

Color solutions

The IKEA assortment is dominated by kitchens in neutral shades, which harmoniously combine with any interior design. Classic white modules remain popular.

The original new trend was the deep tones of blue and gray. Bright accents and natural shades will help diversify the interior.

White kitchen

IKEA offers several options for white facades: Budbin with panels and glass inserts on the upper facades, minimalistic Overbu, Hitarp with vertical stripes. Such kitchens have not gone out of fashion for several years. If over time you get tired of the laconic design, you can add a few bright accents.

Bright shades: “Budbin”, “Akstad” and “Kallarp”

Those who love bright colors should take a closer look at the “Akstad” series in matte blue, “Kallarp” in red-brown, and “Budbin” in emerald. Deep and rich color can be complemented with calm shades. Such a kitchen will be stylish and impressive.

Natural colors

Natural motifs in the design of IKEA kitchens are represented by walnut, light and dark brown ash, and oak facades. Any line can be complemented with a wood-look countertop.

Metallic

IKEA has modern furniture covered in stainless steel.

The industrial look of such a set will enhance the industrial style of the entire kitchen or add an unexpected twist to an established design.

Provence style - interior features

Large bright windows decorated with light curtains are the highlight of the Provence style

The French province is world famous not only for the talent of the culinary experts who created the famous mayonnaise, but also for its original culture, which it has preserved to this day.

In Provence, the house is a continuation of the garden and is filled with its flowers, colors and the energy of living nature (see also the article DIY kitchen in Provence style - creating French elegance).

Therefore, the price of many kitchen decor elements will be quite low, many of them can be done independently.

Stonework in the decoration of kitchen walls looks very respectable

What are the distinctive features of the style in interior design and kitchen finishing options?

• Rough decorative plaster of light colors in combination with light wood panels in the decoration of the kitchen walls;
• Wooden beams on the ceiling;
• The tones of the finish are muted, as if faded under the scorching sun;
• The color scheme of kitchens in the Italian “country” style is a pastel shade of coffee with milk or faded lavender. All sunny warm shades of yellow, orange and olive also look good;
• An Ikea kitchen in the Provence style, the furnishings of which should also be in light, delicate shades, gives the room the warmth and coziness of a home;
• Forging elements are also welcome when decorating a kitchen in this style. The metal must be artificially aged, or it can simply be old metal objects from rural life;
• It is advisable to select natural textiles for decorating a kitchen in the Provence style, decorated with a soft, unobtrusive floral pattern;

The abundance of paintings on the walls is a distinctive feature of this style.

• Many decorative elements can be made with your own hands - delicate compositions of wild flowers, embroidered linen napkins and much more. As you can see in the photo, for a kitchen in the Provence style, we select only light, light curtains and upholstery for furniture;
• Since this style replicates the design of a country house, it would be a good idea to add greenery to the interior decor. Exotic plants of the south in ceramic vases look stylish and original.

Important. When choosing the style of the French countryside for kitchen decor, do not forget that all interior items should be “old”, albeit artificially. This gives a unique charm and charm to the kitchen interior.

Selection of Ikea kitchen furniture fronts

The modules are produced in series, but are structurally completely consistent with each other. Only the design differs. Based on the external design, you can find the necessary facades and suitable fittings.

Floor-standing cabinet types

Cabinets of the "Method" system have a width of 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 cm, a height of 60, 80, 100, 140, 200, 220 cm. Each module can have from 1 to 8 drawers. In total, more than 16 thousand possible options for placing lockers are offered.

The height of the plastic base is 8 cm (for comparison: in the Faktum system, which was replaced by the Method, it is 16 cm). This change made it possible to increase the height of the floor cabinets.

For built-in appliances

Modules for built-in appliances have standard sizes. Many cabinets are equipped with additional compartments (drawers, open shelves) for storing dishes and kitchen utensils.

A special module with a metal ventilation grille is available for the oven.

Hanging

Wall-mounted modules are available in different sizes. Width varies from 20 to 80+ cm, height - 40, 60, 80 or 100 cm, depth - 37, 38, 39 or 40 cm (the deepest are corner and modules that are placed above the refrigerator).

There are cabinets with shelves and drawers, blank fronts and frosted or clear glass inserts.

Front panel types

The range includes front panels that will help you discreetly place all household appliances. Behind the facades, which correspond to the choice of doors of the lower and upper sections, you can hide a dishwasher, microwave oven or refrigerator.

Locker doors

Doors and front panels are made of MDF using frameless technology. There are models with a flat, smooth surface, with panels, glossy or matte. The same shelves and drawers can be equipped with different doors.

What materials are kitchens made from?

When talking about ikea kitchens, the first thing we need to talk about is quality. All materials from which cabinets are made are tested for resistance to mechanical damage, temperature changes, and humidity.

The cases of all IKEA models are made of 18 mm chipboard (the standard thickness in other brands is 16 mm).

Facades depend on the series:

• Chipboard in film is mainly used (Ringult, Tingsrid, Kallarp, ​​Häggeby and others);
• MDF or fiberboard in the same film or durable enamel is less common (Budbin, Edserum, Sevedal);
• the most expensive is solid wood with natural veneer (Lerhyttan, Torhamn, Ekestad).

For back walls, painted fiberboard is predominantly used.

Layout options

The layout depends on the characteristics of the room. For example, if the room is a walk-through, a good option is parallel placement, and in a spacious room you can make a full-fledged island with a hob or sink.

L-shaped or corner kitchen

The angular placement of cabinets optimizes the workspace so that it is comfortable for several people to be in it at once. If you place an L-shaped kitchen correctly, you will get a triangle with full-fledged functional areas (storage, cooking, washing), between which it is convenient to move.

U-shaped

This type of layout allows you to make maximum use of space, increase the storage area and the number of cabinets for built-in household appliances.

U-shaped placement is suitable only for spacious rooms.

But to make it comfortable to cook in the kitchen, the distance between the units should not exceed 2.5 m.

Linear

A linear set is a convenient (and sometimes the only possible) option for planning small rooms. To make the most of the space, you should choose a folding or folding table, which most of the time can serve as a shelving unit, and use folding chairs.

To make it convenient to cook in the kitchen, it is necessary to delimit functional zones:

• storage (lockers, refrigerator);
• cooking (stove, work surfaces);
• washing (wash, dryer).

There should be 40-60 cm of free space between the refrigerator, hob and sink, i.e. 1 full work surface.

Island and peninsular

In a spacious room, an island with a hob or sink is often installed. This is convenient, but difficulties may arise with connecting communications and connecting equipment. With a peninsula layout, which is also suitable for small rooms, a bar counter can become an additional area.

The optimal length of the island is 120-160 cm. These are 2-3 square modules connected by one tabletop.

Double row

For elongated rooms (especially if the door and window are located opposite each other or the room is a passageway), a double-row arrangement of cabinets is suitable. It is better to maintain a distance between rows of 1.5 m. At 1.2 m, opening cabinets and cooking may be difficult if there are several people in the kitchen.

To make the space as comfortable as possible, it is worth placing a refrigerator and work area on one side, and a stove and sink on the other.

Parallel layout

A parallel layout involves the arrangement of lockers in 2 rows (as well as a two-row or two-line). In such a kitchen, an important task is to accommodate the dining group. One row can be made shorter, and the free space can be used to install a folding tabletop and folding chairs.

Ikea kitchen range

At IKEA you can find ready-made solutions, modular systems, mini-kitchens. The Method system will allow you to plan the location of functional areas depending on the buyer’s personal preferences and needs. Any facades available are simply selected for ready-made frames.

The Knoxhult modules include design projects for standard and small-sized premises (for example, in studios and Khrushchev-era buildings). And mini-kitchens are a good solution for those who love simplicity or are looking for a convenient temporary solution at an adequate cost.

"Budbin"

One of the most popular series is suitable for interiors in the Scandinavian neoclassical style, as well as Provence or country. Budbin kitchens are available in warm white, dark green, and classic gray. All types of countertops are combined with sets in different colors.

"Dalarna"

Dalarna modules look similar to Budbin furniture and are available in white, black and brown colors. This series is more expensive due to the material used (“Dalarna” is made of solid birch, “Budbin” is made of chipboard, fiberboard).

"Ekestad"

The series is distinguished by its natural design. Blind facades with a thin frame and a solid wood body are made in a natural color (light oak). The upper modules can be equipped with doors with frosted glass inserts.

"Yutis"

The "Yutis" series are facades for wall cabinets with transparent or smoky glass. There are no lower modules; they need to be combined with other solutions (with blank facades).

"Lidingo"

After changing the Faktum modular system to Method, Lidingo kitchens are no longer available for order. The facades are made in shaded white, the lower ones have panels, the upper ones have panels or glass inserts.

New facades

If the convenience and practicality of the kitchen depend on the design of the frames and their internal contents, then the beauty, appearance and how the set will look in the interior depend on the design of the facades.

As before, Ikea’s main colors are basic and restrained. These are different shades of white, gray, black, beige, brown. Moreover, the latter most often imitate natural wood, and several series are made from solid wood. There are also bright facades, but in very limited quantities.

What was also pleasing was the appearance of front panels for dishwashers with a width of 45 cm. Previously, such dishwashers had to be covered with 50 cm panels. I took their cost as a basis for comparing prices for different series of facades. It is impossible to compare the cost of cabinets: it depends not only on the size and type of facades, but also on the fittings and contents.

Weddinge

Material – chipboard, painted with acrylic and polyester paint. The surface is glossy, varnished, easy to clean.

Available only in white

Weddinge is ideal for creating a modern interior

The price of the panel is 2100 rubles.

Brokhult

It belongs to the same price category as the previous model, but the chipboard is finished with a walnut-like film.

Brokhult goes well with smooth matte facades of other series

Voxthorpe

The basis is the same - chipboard in a glossy film. The reverse side of the door is also protected with melamine film, and its edges are protected with ABS plastic. Color white and light beige.

A deep recess along the entire width of the facade replaces the handle

The cost of a panel for PMM is already much higher - 3800 rubles.

Budbin

Like Weddinge, the chipboard facades of this series are painted with high-quality acrylic paint and polished with polyester paint. But they are paneled, which allows you to create a kitchen in a classic or country style. Color white and grey.

Kitchen Budbin Ikea - an analogue of the popular Lidingo

The price of the panel is 3800 rubles.

Dalarna

Solid birch covered with stain and acrylic or polyurethane varnish. The color is white with a natural tint or dark brown depending on the color of the stain.

Dalarna paneled facades in a Provence style kitchen

Light shade

Price 3000 rubles.

Grevsta

Original facades made of chipboard, covered with stainless steel. The surface is magnetic. Ideally combined with stainless steel kitchen appliances. Can be used for the entire set, or in combination with other smooth colored doors.

The cool gray color of Grevst combined with the warm shade of the countertop is an unexpected effect

Cost 3000 rubles.

Garrestad

A non-standard solution for the kitchen - facades with a complex relief formed by many edges. Material – chipboard in melamine film.

Gärrestad doors can be combined with others to create a “zest” in the interior

Due to the complex and unusual surface, the price is quite high: a 40 cm wide façade costs 5,700 rubles (there are no panels for PMM in this series).

Ersta

In this series you can choose facades in bright and rich shades: red, yellow, orange, green. They are made of chipboard in a glossy film.

A few doors are enough to dilute the gloomy severity of the kitchen.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, there were no 45 cm panels on the site, and the cost of a 60 cm facade was 3,500 rubles.

Callarp

And again chipboard in a glossy film with the ends protected by acrylic plastic. There are almost no photographs of completed interiors on the Internet, probably due to the not very popular color of the facades. I don’t know what to call it, see for yourself:

The manufacturer claims that it is light green

The price of the dishwasher panel is 2100 rubles.

Calvia

The designer who created this unusual decor says that he imagined organic matter magnified under a microscope, and believes that everyone who likes it will see something of their own in it.

But it seems that Ikea is not yet sure that this series will become popular, so the site shows a single picture of a door 60 cm wide. Does this masterpiece made of chipboard in film with plastic edges cost 4,600 rubles?

The pattern is not repeated, it is unique for each facade

Ringult

But this model is already in demand – photographs of real interiors have appeared online. And again chipboard, and again film. The surface is smooth, glossy, the style is modern minimalistic. Colors – white and grey.

Ringult in a real interior

Cost 3000 rubles. Do not forget that for comparison, a panel with a width of 45 cm was selected.

Sevedal

One of the most budget options from traditional film chipboard. It is distinguished by wide panels of the frame. It looks very cozy, rustic. The color is only white.

Sevedal in a small kitchen

The price is affordable - 1700 rubles.

Tingsrid

The cheapness of the facades of this series is explained not only by the simplicity of the design, but also by the smaller thickness of the chipboard: it is 16 mm versus the standard 18 mm. But the doors are noticeably lighter. The film covering the base imitates the texture of natural wood:

Tingsrid under the birch

Ebony Tingsrid

The front panel for the PMM will cost only 1080 rubles.

Thorhamn

The door frame is made of solid ash, the panel is chipboard and ash veneer covered with transparent acrylic varnish. Each facade is unique, as the texture of the wood is unique. This kitchen looks quite unusual, but cozy and homely.

Over the years, the surface texture becomes even more expressive.

The price is already significantly higher - 4,700 rubles.

Philipstad

One of the most expensive series made of solid oak and natural oak veneer covered with stain and durable transparent varnish, thanks to which the instructions for caring for facades are no different from the recommendations for caring for chipboard panels in film or paint.

The set looks stylish and expensive

The cost is impressive - 5,700 rubles per door.

Flady

Another colored model made of chipboard, but not in film, but covered with acrylic paint. In Russian Ikea it is currently represented in only one color - green. Perhaps other variations will appear.

Wall-mounted drying cabinet with Flady fronts

The price of the panel is 2200 rubles.

Hitarp

A very popular series among country style lovers. Doors with vertical longitudinal grooves appear to be assembled from individual wooden slats. In fact, everything is more prosaic: chipboard, acrylic and polyester paint. The only color is this:

A light shade visually expands the space, and a vertical stripe draws it out

A panel for PMM will cost 3,000 rubles.

Häggeby

I don’t know how to explain the unique cheapness of Häggeby’s facades. The description says the same 16 mm chipboard and melamine film. But that's it. The color is exclusively white.

The most budget model

The price of the panel is 600 rubles.

Edserum

At first glance, this series is difficult to distinguish from Philipstad, but it is not him. The frame of the facades is made of moisture-resistant MDF, the panel is made of chipboard, everything is wrapped in a film that imitates wood. Edges are ABS plastic.

Stylish look at an attractive price

The price is really very affordable - 1700 rubles.

Ekestad

Again solid oak, but the frame frame is thin. The main panel is oak veneer and acrylic varnish. Natural color.

These facades are more suitable for kitchens in modern and minimalist styles

The cost of the panel is 4700 rubles.

Yutis

The only model with glass in an epoxy powder coated aluminum frame. Tempered glass, smoky. Frame color is black.

Wall cabinet with horizontal fronts

For obvious reasons, there are no panels for PMM in this series, and a 40x80 cm door costs 2,600 rubles.

Internal equipment: appliances and plumbing

Internal elements allow you to make the kitchen comfortable and hide the contents. Behind the facades you can use:

• retractable modules;
• waste sorting solutions;
• additional inserts in the shelves;
• organizers, trays, dividers;
• internal drawers, which are located behind external doors.

In addition to modules and contents (from storage accessories to textiles, dishes), you can purchase plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances on site. Peculiarities:

• all faucets sold at IKEA are equipped with an aerator that reduces water consumption by 40% without reducing pressure;
• stainless steel sinks are made from almost 60% recycled material;
• household appliances are purchased from reliable suppliers; the entire range is covered by a 5-year warranty.

Price overview

IKEA is good quality at an attractive price. The cost of ready-made kitchens with a standard layout is 12,989-31,289 rubles. If the standard Knoxhulta is not suitable, you can assemble the required set from individual modules and facades. The price of frames is from 1000 rubles. for a small wall cabinet up to 7,000 rubles. for a section of Vadholm boxes.

Facades cost from 500 rubles. (door 20x80 cm, “Häggebi”) up to 10,500 rubles. (door 60x200 cm, “Ekestad”).

Disadvantages of shopping at IKEA

IKEA is not without its shortcomings. Despite the assortment of facades, the kitchens turn out to be of the same type. Ways to avoid this:

• refuse replicated accessories;
• choose a limited edition;
• order an individual project;
• shift the emphasis from furniture to an apron, appliances or decor;
• experiment with a combination of different lines.

Due to mass production, furniture is sold in standard sizes, which may be too large for kitchens in standard apartment buildings. This disadvantage cannot be called relative: although it is possible to make the design unique, then ordering a smaller cabinet will not work.
