Probably the most beautiful IKEA farmhouse kitchen

I did not find my dream kitchen so I need to DIY it. The result is a modern farmhouse kitchen that does not look like a regular IKEA kitchen with many features being installed.

The building process was very time-consuming and installing all of the items have taken some weeks.

Since IKEA Kitchens have fair pricing the cost for the kitchen is still reasonable. The most expensive additional things are the kitchen electricals including the LED-Lighting, the stucco mouldings and the solid worktop.

IKEA items, material and tools:
  • IKEA METOD cabinets, drawers and doors
  • BODBYN fronts
  • Hob
  • Integrated fridge
  • Dish-washer and other smaller IKEA items.
  • 40 mm solid worktops
  • LED Strips and LED Drivers
  • Tons of stuff for the kitchen electricals
  • Stucco mouldings
  • Putty and more
  • You need proper tools like an electric drill (or two), laser, spirit level, jigsaw, soldering iron, spacers and others.

The hack is too enormous to list all steps. So, I created a website where the steps are shown in detail. You can follow the building process from the beginning to the end.

I like the tiled splashback the most, especially when it is set in the scene with the right lighting.

Besides that, I love the lighting of the base of the kitchen cabinets. The base lighting makes the kitchen look like it’s floating.

Sliding Bookcase Doors KALLAX hack to divide your rooms

I replaced single-glazed sliding doors that divided the sitting room and dining room with a sliding KALLAX bookcase. For one “door”, I used two 2×2 cubes and one 2×1 unit. As we already owned 4 separate KALLAX 2×2 cubes and they seemed to be exactly the same width as the internal doors, we thought it might be possible to stack them. With one additional 2×1 KALLAX they almost matched the height of the internal doors. Sliding KALLAX bookcase doors in closed position First, still a work in progress but let us show you how it looks from the dining room, when the units are pushed together to close up the doorway. And the units pushed apart to enter the living room. We can access the storage cubes from both sides — from the dining or living room — which is so very useful. What I like most is, when viewed from the living room, when closed, it looks almost like a built-in unit. IKEA item used: 2×2 KALLAX units x 4 1×2 KALLAX units x 2 Other materials: 3M mounting tape...
