### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-833798467, Jan. 2026**

> Inspired Kitchen Design (IKD) was instrumental in helping us turn our old garage into a light and bright family room / home office / laundry room. First we looked at their site to get ideas for our renovation based on all of their case studies and photos. Then, for a very nominal fee, they took our measurements /specs and created detailed renderings showing the room layout for our review and approval. Once we approved the layout, IKD created a very realistic rendering of our space based on the specific IKEA cabinets/HW we had initially chosen. This step was critical: seeing IKD's realistic rendering made us realize we needed a different cabinet color/style to fulfill our vision for the space. IKD quickly updated the rendering to show our new cabinet/HW choice - which allowed us to see/confirm our new choices were the right look. Had we not worked with IKD (and just used IKEA's online tools) we would never have been able to realistically "see" what our space would look like. Plus they generate a list of IKEA parts you need to purchase. Working with Inspired Kitchen Design was the best money we ever spent! We highly recommend Inspired Kitchen Design!

**★★★★★ — Michael Roth, Dec. 2025**

> We worked with Inspired Kitchen Design (IKD) to create a design for our laundry room. The designer (Florence M) was fantastic! She worked with us to plan around removing a soffit, accommodating an existing laundry chute, and adding all of our desired features for the room. IKD provided detailed diagrams and order sheets that made working with IKEA for the boxes and Semihandmade for the doors easy tasks, as well as simplifying the installation. The design process was painless. We absolutely love the space and are planning to work with IKD for designs for our home office.

**★★★★★ — Lindsey Gruber, Dec. 2025**

> We had a great experience working with IKD!  They were very communicative, had great ideas, and incorporated our feedback beautifully.  The final design looks fantastic, and I can’t wait to see it completed!

**★★★★★ — Alison Mermel Finkel, Sept. 2025**

> We had an excellent experience working with Inspired Kitchen Design on two projects. We had hired a contractor who could 'do whatever we wanted' in the space, but found ourselves quickly overwhelmed when reviewing options on the Ikea website. IKD provided that bridge, helping us to best utilize the space available for a laundry and closet project.
>
> Because they understand the standard dimensions and sizes available for cabinetry, they were quickly able to turn a rough sketch into a workable techinical design. They were active partners in considering adjustments and changes to make to best fit the space. They made some additional helpful recommendations to use supplemental companies (like rev-a-trak) to make the most of the organizeable space. Highly recommend.

**Comment from INSPIRED KITCHEN DESIGN:**

> It was a pleasure collaborating with you and helping bring your laundry and closet projects to life. Thank you for trusting us with your vision!

**★★★★★ — Shaunach Talley Peters, Jan. 2025**

> Honestly, this couldn't have been any easier - especially during a stressful post-flood renovation.  All information on the IKD website was clear, simple and easy to access.  I knew exactly what I was signing up for, how much it was going to cost, and every step from start to finish.  What drew me in was their experience with and knowledge of the IKEA cabinet systems.  The team knew what “extra” pieces are needed behind the scenes to ensure flawless installation, so having them build my shopping cart was invaluable.  They also knew various product options I could use to bring my concepts to life (hidden drawers within drawers, lighting throughout, etc.).  Leveraging this service helped me avoid a LOT of rookie mistakes. Florence, my designer, was so easy to work with throughout the process. After submitting measurements and design inspiration, I was able to do a few rounds of revisions until it was all finalized.  Turnaround time was fast, efficient and thorough.  Meanwhile the final design renderings were priceless.  I had them printed and posted in the rooms so that my contractors and their installation crews always had visuals for reference during installation to ensure everyone was on the same page.  Love the final results and can't wait to start the next project!

**★★★★★ — P Verma, Jan. 2025**

> Great experience working with Florence! Thanks a lot for your help IKD. The design process was easy and thanks to the detailed drawings the contractors and the countertop fabricators did a great job too. Cabinets are IKEA and the countertops are from a local stone yard.

**★★★★★ — Marianna Sumina, Dec. 2024**

> I wanted to take a moment to thank INSPIRED KITCHEN DESIGN for the incredible work on our project. They’ve been so understanding, thoughtful, attentive, and patient throughout the process, even with all my non-standard requests. I do not even know where to start. The project started with my ideas about what we wanted and what we did not. We wanted a very unusual kitchen layout with a non-standard size kitchen island, a combination of panels from 2 different vendors, a built-in place for the dogs’ bowls, and on top of that, making it out of standard IKEA cabinets. Nevertheless, I was ready to give up because I could not imagine that it was even possible to combine all our requirements.
>
> Florence is truly a gem; she was going above and beyond trying to accommodate everything, and she was able to deliver. During the design process, I always felt she wants—really wants—to make me happy with the design. She was not fussing over me, giving me space to think; she was suggesting but not pushing; she made me feel special.
>
> At the end of the day, the design that we got was even better than I was imagining. Everything is in place, and it looks incredible and very ergonomic at the same time. Their professionalism truly stood out, and it was such a pleasure collaborating with them.

**★★★★★ — Travis Provin, Oct. 2024**

> I had a fantastic experience with Inspired Kitchen Design! After my dishwasher leaked through my base cabinets, floor and subfloor, I had to decide to repair or renovate. With Inspired Kitchen Design on my side I was confident I could use this opportunity to renovate and update my kitchen. I came to IKD with a general idea and they created an awesome design! After working with them I realized if I had attempted to design a kitchen on my own I would have been in for a horrible, nightmare of an installation experience. IKD's attention to detail is amazing and their experience with kitchen design and IKEA products shows. IKD was even able to "hack" together a corner cabinet for me which added a ton of seating and countertop space in my kitchen. I followed their design plans and the installation was so easy! Everything fit together perfectly and the layout and flow of my kitchen is so much better than before.
>
> All in all I would absolutely work with IKD in the future. I got a TON of value out of their consultation, design, and drawings. They upgraded my kitchen and made it so easy to install. Thank you IKD :)

**★★★★★ — ljddraper, July 2024**

> IKD helped us with our design layout for our Ikea/Semi-handmade kitchen. We are happy with the quality of Ikea cabinets and Semi-handmade fronts and the design we came up with together with IKD. I made several changes over the course of the design process and had lots of questions and they were great at helping me throughout the process. I estimate I saved half of what I would've spent for custom cabinetry. I also learned so much in the process. Overall, we are happy with our experience with Inspired Kitchen Design. I have included before and after pictures.

**★★★★★ — Cheryl Berumen, June 2024**

> Florence and her designers created an Ikea pantry/mudroom design for me that was exactly what I was looking for. Florence was very patient with my questions. It was thrilling to see the 3D rendering of the small pantry in color. It would have taken me countless hours (if even possible) to do this on my own. It was money well spent. Do not hesitate to hire Inspired Kitchen Design.

**★★★★★ — Laura Snider, April 2024**

> My husband and I had played around with our own IKEA kitchen designs on the IKEA kitchen planner but found some aspects of it be confusing. We figured if we were looking at spending that much money on a remodel that it would be worth it to consult a professional with much more experience. IKD did not disappoint! They looked at our existing designs and made huge improvements and recommendations for Rev-A-Shelf products that would give our room an even more custom look and functionality. It gave us great peace of mind to know that we would have the required clearances for door and drawer openings as well as the large appliances.  IKD specified all the drawer sizes (there were WAY too many options for us to sort through and we wanted almost all drawers rather than doors) and inner drawers in appropriate locations. The drawings and plans they provided were invaluable as we proceeded to assemble the kitchen. Our room turned out even better than we expected! If we ever do a remodel at a future house, we would definitely use IKD again. The service they provide is well worth the fee charged.

**★★★★★ — Liz Billups, April 2024**

> We had an incredible experience with Florence! Posting before and after pics of our kitchen. Got a suggestion to try IKEA cabinets and they didn't not disappoint. High quality and beautiful. We decided to use IKD and what a wonderful decsion. Design was amazing and all the parts were ready to go when we ordered from IKEA! Will def use again!

  - Description: When the Gruber family of Chattanooga, Tennessee, began thinking about their kitchen and bar, they weren’t chasing a dramatic transformation or a magazine moment. Their motivation was quieter—and more urgent. Their home, built in 1968, simply wasn’t designed for a modern family of five. Storage was limited, pantry space was nearly nonexistent, and what storage did exist wasn’t secure enough for a household with three young boys, including a curious one‑year‑old. The Grubers already trusted IKEA…

  - Description: Shaunuch \[IKD customer\] explains that her semi-open concept, Traditional-style kitchen was only possible by using IKEA’s SEKTION cabinets. “The biggest challenge in designing the rooms was knowing all the options IKEA has. They have a lot of little trim details, etc. that aren’t always obvious unless you’re looking for it. With the installation, I learned that the original build of our home wasn’t truly squared so we had to adjust filler panels here and there to ensure everything was truly level…

The cabinets run along the exterior of the space with upper cabinets and base cabinets starting on the end run around the GE 30″ hood and the Bosch 30” range and winding past the sink area. The upper cabinets are accentuated…

The trio selected IKEA’s SEKTION kitchen system along with IKEA’s STENSUND upper cabinets in beige and IKEA’s BODARP fronts for the base and tall cabinets to create a warm, natural look. The 11’x12′ modern IKEA kitchen features 96″ ceilings so storage was addressed here as well with the wall cabinets reaching to 83″ (h). Tracey’s IKEA kitchen actually features several IKEA cabinet “ha…

  - Description: A Virginia IKEA Kitchen remodeler paints “Racoon Fur” on Her Project’s Semihandmade Doors With a total budget of $90,000 for her kitchen project (including $50,000 set aside for installation), Heather worked with IKD designer Albert to combine IKEA’s SEKTION kitchen system with Semihandmade’s (SHM) unfinished MDF shaker doors (which she had custom-painted).

  - Description: You’re an IKEA customer currently with an outdated, inefficient kitchen and ready to start your new remodel project. You have specific design ideas in mind, but you also know that a DIY approach is way beyond your ability. Also, you keep a kosher kitchen — and that presents further unique design challenges — especially the need to find appropriate storage options.

  - Description: Laura and Greg found IKD during their online research. There isn’t an IKEA store near their town so they relied on IKD to select the correct items needed (they cited IKD’s Extra Items list as what appealed to them). The couple also opted for IKEA cabinets due to their affordable cost and varied design options. In fact, both projects feature custom configurations as well as a custom IKEA cabinet modification featured on the wet bar in the L-shaped kitchen. So with an original budget of $65,000 ($…

  - Description: A review of how a homeowner, installer and IKD worked together before remodeling. As an avid baker who entertains family often, Ryan’s new IKEA kitchen needed to provide the storage, function and aesthetics that his previous kitchen did not. With Albert’s design guidance, Ryan combined IKEA’s SEKTION kitchen system with matte white IKEA AXSTAD cabinets in order to brighten the space. The overall square footage of the original kitchen footprint didn’t change but some surface areas did. Ryan also…

  - Description: This home didn’t feel like home until the open-concept IKEA kitchen was complete. For someone who loves cooking, baking, and entertaining, a galley kitchen is the stuff of nightmares. This is how IKD customer Phyllis felt when she found the right home at the right price—with the wrong kitchen. Small kitchens have all the necessary components but lack warmth and welcome. The decision to gut the galley and create an open-concept kitchen was easy for this Connecticut homeowner. We spoke with Phylli…

Between navigating the IKEA Home Planner; researching kitchen design and kitchen cabinet options that suit your vision (and budget!) and — if you’re DIYers — understanding how to properly install your IKEA cabinets, there’s plenty of IKEA idiosyncrasies to learn. This is especially true if your kitchen needs a lot of customization. Fortunately, if you collaborate wi…

  - Description: The turn-of-the-century home was in need of a major kitchen remodel to open it up properly. The result is a classic, traditional-style IKEA kitchen that is warm, inviting and provides an open gathering space for the entire family. The sink was left in its original location to reduce the costs of moving any plumbing and to keep it under the window. Meanwhile, the refrigerator and stove were moved to create an improved work triangle. This approach makes mealtime (including meal prep which they cou…

  - Description: Danielle and DJ's DIY kitchen renovation is not for the faint of heart. Here's some words of wisdom and the blueprint for how to get their stunning result: “My biggest advice is getting the layout right. I wouldn’t have been able to say that before I did the project. You can put in beautiful cabinets, but if the layout doesn’t work, it’s not going to be the best kitchen it can be. Any combo of cabinets from IKEA will look good, but layout makes good go to great.”

  - Description: Going from a light-colored kitchen to one featuring black cabinetry might seem like an unusual kitchen design idea, but for one IKD customer, it was the perfect choice. The black tile and cabinet fronts feel modern and fresh with the open shelving and brass drawer pulls. This kitchen is ahead of the trends and its one of our all-time favorites!

  - Description: The key to any successful IKEA kitchen design is for the vision to match the results. This was certainly the case for IKD customer Elaine from Harrison, NJ, who recently worked with IKD to design a modern and family-friendly IKEA kitchen in her home. Elaine elected for a minimalist, all-white kitchen with lots of cabinet space and a large island with a sink. It also needed to be durable enough to handle her family’s busy lifestyle and provide enough storage with many cabinetry drawers.

This was the case for IKD customer Richard from Pacific Palisades, CA, who along with his wife, recently moved from their primary residence to a guest house they had constructed on their property – in large part due to how well their new IKEA kitchen turned out.
