I went to IKEA Friday night. I took pictures of 3 inspiring pictures. The cheapest price of an IKEA kitchen means that you can indulge in a remarkable ceramic wall and countertop surface.
This is the perfect island if you like to entertain. I wish I got the space for it.
The best of the crop goes to this long kitchen. If you have the space, the expandable BJURSTA dining table, which opens up to 260 cm (102 inches) costs only $299 CAD. This leaves you more room on your budget to buy the chairs.
If you are looking for island, models like this red and white costs between $450 to $600 CAD at IKEA. Although I am not too keen on shiny kitchen cabinets I enjoy the overall kitchen layout. AKURUM is IKEA kitchen cabinet series. I especially like the pattern wall. Put an acrylic clear panel in front of the wallpaper for easy cleaning.

Btw how did you managed to get pictures at the IKEA with anyone in the frame? Every time I go there it is super crowded!

For the photo, I was surprised too. I guess waiting to take the pictures 15 minutes before they close on Friday night helps.

funny you should post pictures of IKEA kitchens, I just got mine installed yesterday. It’s so lovely – and I got that GIMAN island in glossy while – love it – I don’t think the scratches will show as much one white as on bright colours. But time will tell – so far – I love that new kitchen of mine – in birch Nexus.
