Ikea bathroom remodel

8 years ago

Has anyone tried putting in IKEA cabinets/counter-tops into their bathrooms. How much was cost and installation? Do you like it?

    Are you talking about the Sektion kitchen cabinets or the IKEA bathroom cabinets (Godmorgon or Hemnes, usually)? We did Hemnes bathroom cabinets in our master bath last year and are waiting on contractor to start work on kids/hall bath that will have Sektion kitchen cabinets as vanity. We are doing a Corian countertop from a local fabricator and will "install" cabinets ourselves since it's a straightforward run of base cabinets. Cost is the cabinets you choose, countertop (obviously varies based on size/material) and plumber. We are doing a long double sink vanity of 102" with three banks of drawers and two basic door cabinets (might add an inner drawer at the bottom of the sink cabinets later if there is room after plumbing). Cabinets/handles came to just under $1,000 and Corian counter with integrated sinks came to about $1,250 installed.

    I think our plumbing charge for moving the drains to fit the new configuration and installing the new faucets/sinks is $950 (but that would have been the same with any vanity). I hope we like it but won't know till end of May!

    Make sure you have the room for the greater height and depth and be prepared for an adjustment period where it will probably look too big. Think through your sink size and placement - I think we are going to use more of the extra depth behind the faucet vs front of the sink. Height is going to be great for my 6' son; little children would need to use a stool at any part of the range of adult size vanities anyway. Our vanity has one side in a corner so there is always an option for a retractable side makeup mirror for any future need for "closeups" (greater depth makes it harder to lean in at the mirror).

    We've had two IKEA kitchens and greatly appreciate the style and sturdiness of drawers and soft close doors, etc.

    I love the Godmorgan series have used it many times for clients as for cost that will depend on your location and how much work needs to be done.

    We are doing an ikea bathroom for our son. We’ve had two others in previous houses and been happy with them. No issues at all. We are building the cabinet and our GC will install.

    I can’t really pull it out. We are building a whole house so it’s part of finishing.
