What does each Ikea kitchen cost?

Before you contact me to renovate your kitchen it would be helpful to be armed with some actual costs. How much does it cost for an Ikea installation company to renovate my kitchen? The age old question. Is it going to cost me $5,000 or $50,000. Who knows?? Well, I do. And I’m going to break down the numbers for you.

Let's explore each of these renovation projects completed by Forvana Kitchens Inc., and the costs involved in bringing these Ikea kitchens to life. From the initial Ikea kitchen cabinets design concept & custom countertops, to the final installation, each project reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship and design. Kitchen renovations in Edmonton will differ in price, but this is what we charge.

Let's Talk Numbers

We used Ikea’s Axstad white door fronts for this client. She was actually told by one of our competitors that Ikea cabinets would not work in the space and she would need custom built cabinets. We were able to come in and not only give her the Ikea cabinets but keep the cabinet footprint the same so she could keep her existing flooring. Certain elements are left out like electrical, plumbing, moving the venting for OTR and other small repairs.

Here is what this Ikea kitchen really cost: $21,550


Design	$950
Demotion	$1,350
Ikea Cabinets (including OM)	$6,700
Cabinet Installation	$5,700
Custom Countertops	$5,300
Tile Backsplash (installation only)	$1,550

The client opted for Ikea's Tornham door fronts for this project, creating a timeless aesthetic with light wood profiled doors. By eliminating a corner pantry, we provided the client with additional counter space. We also removed the raised eating bar, allowing the quartz counters to overhang at counter height. Other costs are not included here like electrical, plumbing, backsplash tile and new flooring. Keep in mind that the Tornham door front is Ikea’s most expensive door.

What is Order Management?

By Aullivonne Ash • 15 Mar, 2024

We stumbled upon our new Order Management service after hearing the frustration of ordering an Ikea kitchen from our clients. Are you familiar with purchasing things like furniture from Ikea? If you are then you know about all the boxes. Every piece is in it’s own box. Now when you purchase a kitchen from Ikea there are literally hundreds of boxes. And since covid there have been all kinds of global supply problems. For some reason Ikea has been hit extra hard. There once was a time when you went into an Ikea, purchased your kitchen and the entire kitchen was there. You brought it home and started assembling it that day. Those days are long gone. Now when you go to purchase your kitchen maybe 75% of it is there for you take home. And yes, you have to take it home that day or have it delivered. You purchase what is in stock and then you are handed a couple different pieces of paper with all the items that are not in stock. You see the picture above with the order information, that’s all the out of stock items for one kitchen. And now you are on your own to check online, everyday to see if any of your items have arrived, then make multiple trip to Ikea to pick up these stragglers. So while you find a spot to safely store all of these boxes somewhere in your home, you get the privilege of obsessing over the Ikea website for the next month or two waiting for the rest of kitchen to arrive. And you better click and collect those items because by the time you get to the store they could be sold out before the doors even open, it’s happened to me. Its complicated for me and I do it all the time. It can get really frustrating if you have never done it before.
