Classic IKEA Kitchen Features Storage and Style
Melissa and Derrick used a variety of IKEA products and other materials to create their kitchen. “We chose quartz counters primarily because of their durability, and it was a bonus that IKEA had options that looked nice with our cabinets. We chose IKEA’s Atlantic Salt quartz, which is combination of white, black and gray, and tied in really nicely with the white cabinets and back splash. We also took a cabinet door to Sherwin Williams and had them match a high-gloss paint to get the color right. We did modify the non-IKEA wine shelving after we started installation just to simplify fabrication, but it turned out beautifully,” she says. In addition the couple used IKEA’s cabinet lighting system on one open cabinet. “The single-open base cabinet had an easy access point and nearby outlet so we were able to easily install it,” Melissa adds.
Lastly, they took advantage of some extra space to establish a unique L-shaped seating area adjoining the kitchen and living room.
