Step 1 : Measure
Whether designing your dream kitchen from scratch or revamping an existing one, the best-laid plans start with proper measurements. Here are some great tips for accurate measuring and space planning.
How to take your own kitchen measurements
When you’re cooking, a bit more of this or a little less of that doesn’t usually matter. But when you’re planning a new kitchen, every detail counts. Measuring where you’ll install your new kitchen is extremely important. Give yourself plenty of time to measure precisely – and measure more than once, if possible, to check your work.
Kitchen measuring service
IKEA kitchen measurement service gives you a reliable foundation to plan your new kitchen – and peace of mind that all your planning will lead to perfection. Let our technicians provide correct measurements and document the necessary details.
Step 2: Plan & explore
Now it's time for your dreams and ideas to take shape. You can either design it yourself by using our kitchen planner, or have one of our kitchen experts do it all for you in-store, online or at your home.
Step 3: Purchase & delivery
When you’re satisfied with your design, visit your local IKEA store or book an appointment online with one of our kitchen experts. They will go over your kitchen plan with you, answer any questions you might have, and help arrange the delivery of your new kitchen.
Delivery
Once you have your kitchen plan ready, we recommend that you visit our kitchen experts at your local store or email them, and they'll go through your plan to make sure everything fits and arrange payment and delivery to get your new kitchen delivered straight to your door.
Flexible payment

Step 4: Installation
IKEA kitchens are designed to be installed by you, but we’re here to offer as much help as you feel you need. If you want to do it yourself and need a little guidance, we have created an easy to follow step-by-step video. If you prefer to just watch the magic happen, we can help connect you with a professional installer instead.
