Your new IKEA kitchen in 5 steps

We know that planning and buying a kitchen is a complex project, with lots of choices and decisions to consider. To make your journey towards your new kitchen as convenient and stress free as possible, we have prepared this 5-step guide.

#1 Explore

Whatever changes you have in mind for your kitchen, IKEA is the perfect place to start. Browsing around and dreaming a little helps your ideas take shape. Add your needs and what your ideal kitchen looks like and you’re on your way. What colour scheme would suit your home? Open or closed storage? Would you prefer a classic style or are you more of a modern type? Perhaps a bit of both?
