Building your dream kitchen can turn into an expensive nightmare if you’re not careful. But remodeling the heart of your home isn’t just a matter of how much money is in your budget. It’s also about how much time you’re able to invest in the project.
Planning a kitchen renovation isn’t something to take lightly. And since it’s such a major undertaking, it’s something you want to get right from the start, which means taking your time with the prep.
Lucky for you, IKEA’s kitchen experts offer a broad range of services that make building your dream kitchen easy and affordable. Plus, you get to choose how hands-on (or hands-off) you want to be, with options ranging from online planning tools to virtual consultations to in-home design meetings.

Let IKEA Help You Plan Your Best Kitchen
Are you confident in your design and planning skills? If so, then the IKEA online design planner might be the best fit for you when it comes to building your kitchen. However, if you prefer more guidance and appreciate the reassurance of having an expert in your corner, IKEA offers a wide range of kitchen services.
IKEA features measuring services, professional installation, and a variety of kitchen planning options. Customers can choose to consult with a kitchen expert virtually to come up with their perfect kitchen design. Or, if you live near an IKEA location, set up a 30-minute introduction to IKEA kitchens or a 90-minute planning appointment.
For customers who prefer an even more personal approach, IKEA offers in-home design consultations. Once everything is planned and ready to go, take advantage of IKEA’s online verification appointment, which is free! A kitchen expert reviews the plan with you, making sure everything is correct and exactly how you want it.
A Preview of What to Expect When Shopping IKEA Kitchens
IKEA has tons of options when it comes to kitchen counters, cabinets, appliances, and accessories. Here are a few of the top picks you could score for 10% off during the Dream Kitchen Event, if you’re an IKEA Family Member and plan to spend $3,000 or more.
SEKTION Cabinets and Drawers
The SEKTION series works in tandem with the MAXIMERA doors and drawers and various fronts to give you a bunch of style options. The LERHYTTAN drawer fronts and doors come in a wide range of colors, including this gorgeous blue. Base cabinets with drawers, wall cabinets, high cabinets, and many more sizes and styles give you countless customization opportunities.
MÖLLEKULLA Countertops
The solid wood and oak veneer MÖLLEKULLA countertop adds warmth and durability to your kitchen. It comes in various sizes, but you can also cut it to your desired length and use the included edging strips to finish off the raw ends.
VINTROSA Dishwasher
If you’re creating your dream kitchen, I highly doubt washing dishes is part of that dream. Add the VINTROSA built-in dishwasher to your plan to make clean-up a breeze.
VASKARBO Wall Oven
Cook your favorites in style with the VASKARBO True Convection wall oven. The stainless steel finish is sharp and sleek looking, and the self-clean feature means less work for you. Now that’s dreamy.
Wake Up to Your Dream Kitchen Thanks to the IKEA Big Kitchen Sale
Take advantage of great deals and savings during the IKEA kitchen event 2025 to get the kitchen of your dreams! This is a great time to maximize the IKEA kitchen planning tools and already-affordable prices to get the biggest bang for your buck. But fair warning: prepare to be the one hosting all the dinner parties.
