IKEA Kitchens: Super Stylish & Budget Friendly

I love, love, love Ikea. I love their furniture styles, textiles, lighting, accessories and of course, their price point. And I love their kitchens. It's no secret that IKEA offers an affordable, off-the-shelf alternative to a custom kitchen. With the flexibility to mix and match finishes and styles, the Swedish store is a go-to source for renovators, but it's also ubiquitous. Fortunately, there are tons of ways to personalize an IKEA kitchen.

Swoon Alert! Look no further, here's some of my top picks - would you have even guessed these jaw dropping designs are IKEA?

Check out this kitchen from Southern Living.  ALL of the countertops, cabinetry, and hardware are from IKEA.

This kitchen has the cabnitery and handles from IKEA, but the table (built from a restaurant supply store base and a butcher block top) and the wraparound shelving give the kitchen a custom feel.

This home is full of Mid-Century style, but the kitchen is IKEA. It looks tlike the homeowner chose a rich beech with a visible grain that perfectly complements the floors and marble countertops.

And lastly, even Sara Richardson uses them!! Isn't this kitchen just to die for? Super feminine and fresh, I would totally cook my pants off in there! Oh and the polka dots? An added plus.

So, have any of you installed one? Leave me your experience and opinion!
