Kitchen cabinets

Realize your renovation dreams with in-stock kitchen cabinets

Buying new cabinets for your home is a serious investment, and it deserves careful consideration (and even more careful measuring!) But once the choice has been made and the kitchen cabinetry is installed, its positive impact will be felt by your whole family every day. 

But before you start adding to cart, it’s important to refine your options by considering whether you’ll replicate the current layout of your kitchen cabinets, or mix things up as long as you’re in demo mode. You’ll also want to filter your search for in-stock cabinets if you don’t have a lot of time to wait before getting your renovation cooking!

Many folks choose to simplify their kitchen renovation by keeping the same layout for their kitchen cabinetry, sink and appliances. In addition to saving time on planning and potentially having to reroute plumbing, gas or electric, bringing the same layout to your renovated kitchen can be a time and cost-saving solution if your current layout serves you well. 

However, if your current layout isn’t working for you and your family’s needs, consider what the perfectly functional kitchen would look like for you. Now is your chance to get things just right— make the most of it by using our kitchen planner!

Neutral and colorful cabinets for your kitchen

You’ll find a variety of kitchen cabinet color options at IKEA. Not sure which is best for you and your family? A few considerations to help in deciding are…

• White kitchen cabinets are ideal for small kitchens. Short on space but want your kitchen to feel as open and airy as possible? Consider light-colored cabinetry. These neutral colors also make a great choice if you plan to sell your home in the near future as they appeal to a wide variety of buyers.
• Black cabinets are kid-friendly. As much as we love white you might find yourself spending more time cleaning if you have little ones at home. Darker colors like black or grey cabinets do a better job at hiding sticky smudges between regular cleanings.
• Modern colored kitchen cabinetry offers an elevated look. Our sleek and chic kitchen cabinets come in popular shades if you want to bring some color into your kitchen space. Opt for blue cabinets or green kitchen cabinets as they are more unexpected and effortlessly elegant. These color options offer the expensive look and feel of custom cabinets at a pre-built cabinets price.
