How do I buy a kitchen at IKEA?

Whether you are buying a kitchen for the first time, thinking of renovating your kitchen, or have experience in purchasing a kitchen, IKEA allows you to create your ideal kitchen at your own pace.

There are many things to check when buying a kitchen. Therefore, buying a kitchen goes through multiple steps.
At each step, you can choose whether to "do it yourself" or "ask an IKEA kitchen specialist for support".
 

Step 1: Gather inspiration – imagine your ideal kitchen

You may already have the image of "I want to make a kitchen like this". The IKEA kitchen range offers a variety of styles, from clean, modern and stylish kitchens to natural and traditional kitchens where you can enjoy the texture of the materials.
Online kitchen page: Here, you can see many examples and ideas. If you want to actually check the texture and color of the material, we recommend visiting your local IKEA store.
If you want to take a closer look at the possibilities or are unsure about choosing a style, you can contact a kitchen specialist. Please use Kitchen planning. You can choose to consult online from your home or in an IKEA store.
 

Step 2: Measure and Fit – Measure the room where your new kitchen will be placed

In kitchen building, a difference of one millimeter affects the finish. It is important to accurately measure the space, including the location of obstacles such as doors, windows, outlets, and beams.
By providing the surveyed information, we can support the creation of a plan that makes the most of the limited space.
If you are surveying yourself, you will see "DIY Guide for Kitchen Installation". *Only Japanese available
If you are worried about surveying yourself, you can also consider using Kitchen measurement service.
 

Step 3: Plan your kitchen – make your own plan or consult a specialist

Once you have an ideal kitchen image and a survey of the kitchen space, it's time for the planning step. Based on the survey results and your wishes, we will create a kitchen plan.
At this stage, it is also important to consider your budget. At IKEA, we have a kitchen solution to suit every budget.
  • If you are looking for a simple kitchen at a low price, the KNOXHULT series is the way to go.
  • If you want to stick to style and focus on future scalability, the METOD series is recommended.
You can also access our online Kitchen Planner Tool to start creating your ideal kitchen plan yourself.
If you're not sure where to start or would like professional advice, our kitchen specialists are available for Kitchen Planning Services.
 

Step 4: Final decision - confirm the plan and estimate and solidify the ideal kitchen

Once you have completed your first plan, we recommend that you take the time to consider it carefully.
If you want to see and see what is included in the plan, please visit an IKEA store.
If you want to continue considering it online, please make an appointment with the "Remote Kitchen Planning Assistance" of Kitchen planning and discuss any concerns with a kitchen specialist.
A kitchen is not something you buy many times in a lifetime, so we want you to consider it until you are satisfied.
There are three main points that greatly affect the final price:
  • Selection of doors and drawer fronts
  • Kitchen Equipment
  • Worktop
IKEA offers a wide range of price points and styles, so changing these can make a big difference in your overall kitchen estimate. You can easily change combinations on the kitchen planner tool and see the latest prices on the fly.
After you are satisfied with the final plan, if you are interested in Installment payment for kitchen purchases, please consult an IKEA kitchen specialist.
 

Step 5: Order Procedure - Kitchen Purchase and Delivery and installation Arrangements

When you're ready to proceed with your order, you can do so in one of the following ways:
  • Visit an IKEA store
  • Make an appointment for "Remote Kitchen Planning Assistance" of Kitchen planning after the second time.
When ordering a kitchen, we will also adjust the delivery date and the schedule of the kitchen installation service (if you use it).
If you are installing a kitchen yourself, a kitchen specialist will tell you the points and precautions for installation.
We provide additional support around installation, such as removing the existing kitchen and moving electrical outlets. For more information, please consult your kitchen specialist when ordering.
 

Step 6: Kitchen delivery – prepare to receive a lot of luggage

The new kitchen includes many packages and equipment, worktops, etc.
We recommend the following preparations in advance to ensure a smooth receipt.
  • Clean up the kitchen itself or the room next to it, and secure space for boxes, equipment, worktops, etc.
  • Ensure that there are no obstacles on the route where the delivery staff carries the package (such as hallways or stairs)
  • If you need equipment such as a unic car or crane in case you can't carry large items, make sure there is enough space around the house on the day of delivery.
If you wish to change the delivery date and time, please contact our Customer Support Center (050-4560-0494 opening hours 10:00~18:00).
Please receive the delivery by yourself. After receiving the product from the delivery company, please manage the product under your responsibility until the installation. When receiving the product, please be sure to check whether there is any damage caused by delivery and the quantity before signing for receipt from the delivery company. If you find a defect at the time of receipt, please instruct the shipping company to replace the product promptly. At that time, please tell us when you need to re-deliver so that you can make it in time for installation.
After the delivery is completed, check the package details to make sure all items have arrived.
If you have any concerns, such as deficiencies or damage, please contact the customer support center so that we can resolve them smoothly before installation.
If you notice a shortage of products due to the customer's omission after the start of installation, please purchase or rearrange the product with the customer. If there is a delay in the installation period as a result, the installation company may charge you the cost. Please note.
 

Step 7: Install the kitchen - shape the ideal kitchen

You can install the kitchen yourself or use IKEA's kitchen installation service.
Both methods help you make it as straightforward as possible.
If you want to install it yourself, you can use the IKEA video "IKEA kitchen purchase steps: install" and "DIY Guide for Kitchen Installation" (*Only Japanese available) is useful.
If you have any questions while using the kitchen installation service, please consult directly with the contractor first.
If you have any further questions or concerns during or immediately after the installation is completed, please contact our customer support center.
 

Step 8: Enjoy your new kitchen – for every day to come

Once the installation of the new kitchen is completed, it will finally be used as a stage for daily life.
As you use it, you will notice a variety of conveniences and ingenuity.
Even if you feel that you want to do more or increase this area as your life changes, IKEA's kitchen is easy to add or change later.
Through in-store and online consultations, we are always available to help with new ideas and additional planning.
Over time, some parts may need to be replaced or maintained.
IKEA's kitchen series includes guarantee, so you can get support to keep your kitchen in good condition for many years.
If you have any questions, support requests, or comments after purchasing the kitchen, please contact the Customer Support Center at any time. To ensure smooth support, we recommend that you keep your purchase certificate (digital receipt, etc.), quotation, and kitchen plan data in a place where you can easily access them later.
