With Interior Lighted cabinetry, soft-close doors, we were just all blown-away by the quality of these very affordable cabinets. We were able to order gorgeous appliances, lights, hardware, counters and backsplash with the savings. They are beautiful, were fairly easy to assemble and install, 25 year warranty! (Nobody else has anything close to that). We went with all Ikea cabs and have never looked back. I ordered replacement door samples from several companies before deciding on IKEA doors, and was shocked that everyone felt the IKEA door was more beautiful, better made, than the more expensive, much-touted replacements.

I had been reading fabulous reviews of IKEA cabinets, so I took the plunge, went through their awesome free online design service, priced everything out for $8000.

This is my preferred look when running filler along a pantry or tall appliance because it balances the panel on the opposite side.For a renovation of a 110-year old house, we were shocked to receive local bids of $80,000 plus for reasonable cabinets with shaker design. This is so that is matches the filler on the other side, which runs along a pantry. For this project I wanted my filler to run to the floor, rather than terminating above the toe kick.
So back to the filler, I decided to evenly split the 10″ to be 5″ on each end. However, for this space I wanted all of the cabinet doors to be a uniform size, thus eliminating the option to do this. Potentially, I could have increased the size of a few of the cabinets in this run to use up some of the 10″. This distance of 10″ is less than the smallest Ikea Cabinet frame which is 12″ wide. Total, I had 10″ of “extra space to fill” along this entire wall. I needed the minimum of 2″ to open the door against a wall.
For this project I used the Ikea Axstad fronts.

I am going to break down how to do this on a recent personal project, my home’s mudroom. Sometimes you can use up some of the “extra space” by using a side panel. I then like to look at the run of cabinets and balance the filler on the ends, or if necessary around a central element like a sink or stove. I first try and minimize how much filler I use by running many iterations of cabinet plants to minimize the necessity for a surplus of “extra space”. Planning where the filler and side panels go is a key element in making sure you kitchen looks well designed. If it is a drawer cabinet, I prefer to have a minimum of 3/4″ to ensure the drawers can open if your wall is not perfectly square. For this reason it is recommended you have a minimum of 2″ between a wall and a door cabinet.
