"We often recommend Ikea's kitchen cabinets as a solid, bang-for-the-buck option for those looking to remodel. And nowadays, there are so many offshoot companies offering cabinet front styles specifically tailored to fit Ikea's base cabinets that, if being economical is a priority, there's little reason not to at least start with an Ikea skeleton. (See Ikea Kitchen Upgrade: 11 Custom Cabinet Companies for the Ultimate Kitchen Hack.)"
"The two, both architects (he has his own firm, Luke McClelland Design), normally work on high-end projects, but for their own kitchen remodel in Edinburgh, Scotland, they had to work with a budget that was a tenth of what they're used to. Their solution: "We tried to use affordable products to recreate the specific qualities that previous clients associated with luxury: simplicity, symmetry, integration.""
"All cabinet bases and doors are from Ikea. The matte black fronts are from the Kungsbacka line, all made from recycled wood and recycled PET bottles. The lower cabinets are from the oak Ekestad series, currently unavailable in the US. Classic subway tiles (theirs are from here) look modern when installed vertically."
Two architects remodeled an Edinburgh apartment kitchen on a roughly one-tenth budget compared with their usual projects. They knocked down a wall to create an open kitchen and dining area. All cabinet bases and doors are Ikea components, with matte black Kungsbacka fronts made from recycled wood and PET and oak Ekestad lower cabinets. Classic subway tiles installed vertically modernize the backsplash. All appliances are concealed within lower cabinets, and some drawer-front appearances mask hinged doors formed by pairing two drawer fronts. The complete renovation, including appliances but excluding labor, cost under $13,000. The design prioritizes simplicity, symmetry, and integration.
