IKEA kitchen organizers for other brand cabinets?

10 years ago

I love all the internal organizers, drawers instead of cabinets, etc. that IKEA kitchens offer. We had initially planned on going with an IKEA kitchen but the closest store is 6 hours away and with so many pieces and parts I'm petrified! Can we use standard cabinets from Home Depot or Lowes and install the IKEA internal stuff into the other cabinet boxes? Has anyone tried anything like this?

Probably, but discuss with the kitchen designers at IKEA. For example, their swing-out shelves for blind corner base cabinets typically require a wider door opening than stock big box cabinets have. Also carefully examine how they are installed and if your cabs will accommodate that. Measure carefully, consider if/how existing shelves are installed in your cabs. Good luck!

I should add, you could consider other semi-custom options like cliq studios to order a kitchen exactly as you want it, arrives ready to assemble at your house, hire your installer and go!

@MJFolwell how did it go? I love the drawer organizers from Ikea too, but our kitchen isn't ikea. I'm petrified that they will be 6mm off or something!!! 19-3/4 depth... is that standard or Ikea depth of drawers?!
