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.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

IKEA introduced its own pegboard system, SKÅDIS, two years ago and I’d say it’s one of the best systems IKEA launched in recent years. I love how super customisable it is, with a growing range of accessories that help keep things organized. It works everywhere, in your wardrobe to bathroom . Probably anywhere you have a flat surface to hang it up.

And they’ve settle these 5 issues you may have faced with the handy IKEA pegboard. Read on for their fixes. 5 IKEA SKÅDIS issues and fixes #1 Expensive hooks? You’ll need quite a number of hooks and accessories to fill up the SKÅDIS pegboard, and Kenyer was shocked at how quickly they all added up. So he figured he could make his own hooks to save cost.

No other materials required. IKEA item used: KALLAX 2 x 2 (77 x 77 cm) KALLAX 2×2 | IKEA.com All you need to do is assemble 3 of the pieces in a U shape. That is all.  If you want to strengthen the structure you would need to drill a couple of holes in order to use the long middle shelf of the KALLAX unit as a back reinforcer. Easy and it works. ~ by Fabio Tudela #2 KALLAX standing desk I choose to stand at work because it makes me feel infinitely more productive.

Hackers Help: How to remake cam lock holes?

I want to put a 78.5” wide PAX configuration in a 77” space for a kids room . My plan is to eliminate the drawer on the right unit, then cut the shelves and rails to be 1.5” narrower. My question is, how do people attach two laminated pressboard IKEA pieces after they’ve cut off the cam lock holes? Related: See more Hackers Help questions and answers . Are they using drills bits and/or tiny hole saws to remake the cam lock holes? Or screws drilled in from the outside with wood glue? The outside pieces won’t be visible in my completed setup so I could go either way. I’m curious what other people are doing, either I haven’t seen this detail in past hacks or I haven’t been paying attention. ~ by Jenny *** Hi Jenny The best and tidiest method is to use the cut-off portion as a template to reproduce the same cam lock holes in the correct positions. The right sized drill bits and a  Forstner bit should do the trick. A Forstner bit will drill a flat-bottomed hole (...
