What should I consider when planning a kitchen?
At IKEA, we know that planning a kitchen goes far beyond choosing furniture — it’s about creating a space that works for you and your everyday life.
That’s why we offer free online planning tools and helpful guides to support you every step of the way.
✨ Start with our IKEA Kitchen Guide
This guide helps you consider everything that matters — from measurement tips and layout ideas to checklists and inspiration. In our kitchen planner, you’ll also find ready-to-use suggestions that might match your style.
💡 A few tips to get started:
- Make sure you're logged into your IKEA Family account so your plan is saved.
- Use the planner to explore different combinations of furniture, finishes, and appliances.
- When you're ready, you can validate your design directly in the tool or book a planning session with one of our kitchen specialists.
📅 Planning sessions are available online, in-store, or at our planning and ordering studios — choose what works best for you.
After reviewing your plan, the specialist can help you finalize your shopping list and even place the order for you.
Your dream kitchen starts here — and we’re ready to help!
