5 Easy Steps to Designing the Perfect Ikea Kitchen Now

There are many ready-made PAX combinations to choose from. Or, you can design your ideal PAX wardrobe with the size, look, colour and specification that’s perfect for your room, as well as for your storage needs.

You first need to measure the space you have – from floor to ceiling and from wall to wall. Available frame heights are 201 cm and 236 cm but be sure to allow an extra height clearance of 1 cm if you want hinged doors or 4 cm for sliding doors. (You also need at least 1 cm clearance to assemble any PAX wardrobe upright rather than raising it from the floor.) Widths are 50 cm, 75 cm or 100 cm and the depth is either 35 cm or 58 cm. You can choose between three colours of PAX frame – white, black-brown and white-stained oak effect.

To match the frames, you can choose between a variety of hinged doors (25 cm or 50 cm wide) or pairs of soft-closing sliding doors (150 cm or 200 cm wide). Of course, you can skip the doors entirely if you want an open wardrobe. Knobs or handles complete your hinged doors and you can easily replace them when you want to refresh the look.

Have a good think about what you will store in your wardrobe, so that you can add exactly the interior organisers that you need. KOMPLEMENT accessories includes smart drawers, shelves, shoe racks, jewellery trays, pull-out hangers and more.

With lighting for your PAX wardrobe, you can add the finishing touch and make your clothes easier to see. There are lighting options that you can control with Home smart, as well as sensor lights that operate automatically when you open or close the door.

The Swedish furniture juggernaut has gone full mainstream, branching out past futons and coffee tables into pet furniture, home electronics, and yes, entire kitchens. Today, your dream kitchen is just a short drive away, past the Swedish meatballs and around the corner from the 79 cent dish towels. And the secret to how to design an IKEA kitchen that looks like it came straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie? Planning, and a bit of imagination.

Designing a kitchen is tough work. Like most major home renovations, you have to be able to think big picture while also honing in on the tiny details. If you’re looking to design an IKEA kitchen the process is no different, but there’s a bright side: like all things they do, IKEA has streamlined the entire kitchen design experience to make it easier—and maybe even more enjoyable—than it might be otherwise.

So where do you start when you’re designing an IKEA kitchen? Here’s your step-by-step guide into turning a blah kitchen into a Nordic-inspired masterpiece.

Best Tips To Design A Perfect Wardrobe + Pax Planning Tips

To make sure that your new IKEA kitchen stays looking its best for years to come you’ll need to take proper care of it. Do research on the care instructions for the particular series of IKEA products that you purchased, since like with all counter tops, cabinets, appliances, etc. using the wrong cleaning product could ruin the finish.

Be sure you’re familiar with the IKEA kitchen warranty as well, which offers 25 year coverage defects in materials and workmanship, 10 year coverage on faucet, and 5 year coverage on appliances.
