Kitchens IKEA: photo in the interior and customer information

If you still doubt - understand the pros and cons

Pros:Not a bad quality, corresponding to affordable prices, nice design in different style and color solutions, convenient after-sales service, free warranty for 25 years, relatively easy self-assembly. To the merits of furniture from Ikea can also be attributed: the ability to compose a kitchen set for a small kitchen, the ability to buy a compatible with the cabinet household equipment, all components and kitchen accessories from the table top to the backlight in one store, the ability to buy spare parts and change parts as necessary repair.

Minuses:Uniformity, limited in the choice of design, color and size of furniture. A modular system can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, since ready solutions do not always fit into non-standard premises. In addition, most of the frameworks of modules and cabinet facades are made of fiberboard or chipboard and coated with a melamine film or paint, which means they are afraid of high temperatures, high humidity, mechanical damage, washing with abrasives.

On the change of assortment in 2015-2016: comparison of systems Method and Factum

Since April 1, 2015, Ikea has withdrawn from the production of a kitchen framework system called Factum, which produced more than 20 years and began the sale of a fundamentally new modular system of standardized standard sizes Method. For the price, style and color solutions of the kitchen, the method is practically the same as the Facutum sets. In the next collection of photos you can compare the most popular kitchen models of Factum in white with their "substitutes" in the Method.

The most popular series of Lidingo, made in a classical style with panels and glass, was replaced by an equally beautiful series of Budbins.

Here is a photo of the Ikea Faktum kitchen of the Lidingo series in the interior, scroll to the right (the pens are not Ikea).

And here is a photo of Budbin's kitchen in the same white color, with panels and glass inserts in the doors (handles of the Hisguld series).

But the corner kitchen Budbin.

Another particularly popular series of Ramshe kitchens was replaced by the Laxarbi series.

In the photo below, the kitchen set is Laxarby's method in the interior.

Kitchen Stoet, which best suited the style of Provence and country, was replaced not less than "Provencal" Croktorpom, but in Russia this series, unfortunately, is not for sale, but on sale there is a similar series Khitarp.

What is the method of cardinally different from the Factum? Thanks to the new system of module sizes, you can assemble the kitchen as a designer, create more combinations from cabinets, facades and boxes and more effectively use the available space.

• You can choose one of 20 kinds of facades and pick up to them handles of 30 kinds. But the frames of cabinets exist only in 2 variants - in white and dark brown design and only from chipboard trimmed with melamine film. These skeletons can be installed in their original form, and this solution is justified, since the skeletons are still not visible, but if desired, you can additionally trim them with overlays.
• The Method has 2 heights of the floor modules - 60 and 80 cm, while you can install them on the legs of different heights.

Colors and styles

Speaking about the choice of kitchen design, most buyers have in mind the choice of facades, because it depends on them the style and color of the interior of the main place in the house.

The colors of the facades are mostly basic, neutral and reserved: white, gray, brown (from beige to dark brown) and black, but there are red, yellow, and green doors.

• For small kitchens it is better to choose facades of light shades (white, gray, under a tree). Do not be afraid of marching, impracticality of light sets is often overestimated;
• If you want something not too dark, but more practical and original than a common white kitchen, then pay attention to the gray color. It is very easy to care for and fits into any interior from Provence to American classics. In the photo below is a gray Budbin suite.

And this is a more modern gray Veddinge.

Conditionally, furniture styles in Ikea can be divided into 2 groups:

1. Classic Series:Budbin, Hitarp, you can also include a slightly more concise Saavedal, Laxarbi, Edsurun, Yutis and Philipstad. These facades have panels or glass inserts, and therefore suitable for kitchen design in the style of Provence, shebi chic, country, classic;
2. Modern series:Brockhult, Veddinge, Ringult, Ersta, Grevsta, Garrestad, Rosdal, Thingsried, Ekestad, Fledi. These same facades are smooth, without panels and can have glossy surfaces, and Grevsta and does have a metal texture. Due to its conciseness suitable for kitchens in Scandinavian style, high-tech, minimalism, modern.

The photo shows the facades of Brokhult, which replaced Sofilund.

And this is Weddging in white.

In the following photos the minimalist kitchen of Nodst.

How to choose the kitchen of Ikea?

The procedure for choosing a kitchen in Ikea is recommended as follows:

1. First you need to prepare and plan the main points - where the cabinet will be installed, what equipment you need, what color you like best, etc. Also, be sure to visit the showroom to see the exhibition interiors of Ikea with your own eyes, paying attention to: combinations of cabinets, boxes, facades, interior equipment, accessories, color combinations, accessories and, of course, prices. In the store try to take the current catalog, and at home to look for real reviews on the Internet about the options you like, as well as their real, not catalog photos of kitchens in interiors.

1. We make measurements (they can be done independently, call a measureter from Ikea or another firm).
2. Download free scheduler on the Russian site Ikea.com, be sure to register and remember the login and password so that in the store the consultant could see your project. Then we enter the dimensions of the kitchen taking into account the sockets, pipes, ledges and make various combinations of the kitchen. The main thing here is to place a sink, a refrigerator and a stove in a reasonable proximity to each other (the working triangle rule), in the program you can also choose the technique, interior equipment and accessories. As a result, you get a three-dimensional project, a formed price and a list of goods.

1. We go to the store to make an order with a printed drawing, and most importantly - with the recorded login and password. Specialist before accepting the order will familiarize with your project in order to avoid mistakes and offer assembly and delivery services.

• Pay attention to the fact that different actions of the professional collector are paid in different ways, so you will get acquainted with the prices in advance in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.

1. It remains only to put everything together independently or with the help of the company's assemblers. If the kitchen is small, then you will be able to produce both quality assembly and installation of modules. Hanging cabinets of the Method are hung on a special bar as shown in the photo below.

P.S:most of the reviews about the kitchens from Ikea are positive and yet some consumers remain unhappy with the quality of the furniture or service. In this video, the author tells about his not very successful experience of buying and assembling the Stot headset.
