Even though Aly and her husband were comfortable enough for a DIY project, she wasn’t quite sure how to make her kitchen design come alive. She had researched examples of kitchen designs on HOUZZ but needed professional design services. She explains: “The installation was an obstacle because we had to figure a lot of it out ourselves as there weren’t any direct installation instructions. We just looked at the layout pictures and tried to figure it out from there!” She continues: “We wanted to use IKD for several reasons. The main reason is we have a corner flat front/45-degree angled sink and IKEA didn’t have a base cabinet option for that. So, we needed IKD’s help to figure that situation out.” “Also the filler IKEA pieces were a nightmare to cut,” she adds. IKEA cabinetry provided the perfect solution and helped create an efficient workflow in the U-shaped space. The black KUNGSBACKA cabinetry also blends nicely with the white quartz countertops and Pergo flooring, adding warmth to a sleek, minimalistic IKEA kitchen. And working with IKD also provided another pragmatic solution. “We live four hours from the nearest IKEA, so the fact that we were able to have help planning our kitchen and ordering it, and having it all delivered to our house was a huge help!”Aly concludes.

Sometimes we help clients remodel a kitchen that already meets their needs in terms of functionality and layout. That was the case with this home in the northern suburbs of Chicago. The goal here was to update the look and feel. Design Objectives: -Keep existing layout -Add drama and warmth -Feature low maintenance materials for this young family THE REMODEL The main challenge was to create a unique hood that would make a statement and serve as a focal point for the space. Design Solutions: -Quartz perimeter countertops with a full high quartz backsplash. The clients loved the colors and material so we decided to use it as a hood, too. The trick was in matching the veins – the continuity across the kitchen is stunning! -Wenge open shelving framing hood THE RENEWED SPACE For some kitchens, a major overhaul of the layout isn’t necessary. Fresh finishes, a dramatic hood, open shelving, and updated decorative lighting transformed this space.

New Electric collection of Atelier Tapis Rouge is meant to become a breakthrough of contemporary interior design. Based on the philosophy of natural light spectrum it harmoniously combines smoothness of organic forms, scientific creation basis and unique technology of production. This winning combination guarantees harmonious coexistence of futuristic design and sustainable approach changing the perception of rug from an interior design piece into an art object. Unique trinity between intelligent natural forms, advance technology and science of material production became solid basis for absolutely new period of Design in 80-90s, being brilliantly expressed by timeless artists as Zacha Khadid (in architecture) or for instance Ross Legrove in technologic and later in fashion design. The attraction and subtle elegance of organic shapes has been continuously growing bringing to the world new solutions for fashion and interior design. Following this tendence, we have created a futuristic collection of rugs, philosophical basis of which is the theory of photon spectrum. In chase of inspiration, we addressed behavior characteristics of each of 4 light rays caused by photon speed and as a result of this thorough work our Electric collection “saw the light”.

The homeowners envisioned a renovation that would honour the home's original character while enhancing its functionality for modern living. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to reflect the home's Edwardian architecture, from the thicker trim and window casings to the Marmoleum checkerboard flooring, decorative ceiling tiles, and traditional wainscoting. Together, these carefully selected elements create visual continuity, allowing the renovated spaces to blend seamlessly with the original home. A long-awaited priority was the addition of a dedicated pantry. Reconfiguring the existing layout maximized every square foot, creating a more efficient and functional kitchen without compromising its character. Designed for everyday living, the kitchen incorporates thoughtful storage solutions and smart organization while preserving the timeless architectural details that define the home.
