Benefits of Using an IKEA Expert for Your IKEA Closet Design

Not every designer is cut out to design closets with IKEA products. Some design firms are too “bougie” to use mass-produced products, while others simply aren’t familiar enough to make the most of what IKEA has to offer.

At IKD, our design team has earned a reputation for being experts in design and all things IKEA. This is great news for homeowners looking to get a custom closet and more bang for their buck.

Know Your Space

The first step to helping your space become the closet you always knew it could be is understanding the space. Provide accurate measurements (by following our stress-free measuring tutorial), inspiration photos, and organizational goals, and we’ll create a stunning design using IKEA pieces.

The right choice for you may be PAX, IKEA’s go-to wardrobe combination, or SEKTION—an option typically reserved for kitchen cabinets with even more customizable options. IKEA’s in-store planners won’t tell you how to use SEKTION to build a custom closet, but we do this every day.

Tell us what you want out of your design, and we’ll make it happen (within reason).

Managing IKEA Closet Expectations

We say “within reason” because part of knowing IKEA is knowing IKEA’s limitations. Companies that focus solely on custom closets will get you exactly the closet you want, while IKD and IKEA will get you pretty darn close.

However, keep in mind that the prices will be higher, and the wait times will be longer when using a custom closet designer.

Custom closet companies can achieve bespoke, detailed closet creations like this:

Innovation is Key in IKEA Closet Design

Why do you need us if we only piece IKEA components together? You can go into a store, point at what you want, and take the parts home. But we do much more than that. We pick up where IKEA planners leave off.

Here are just three of the benefits of using IKD for your IKEA closet design.

1. We are designers, which means you get a designer’s eye. IKEA planners are, essentially, salespeople. We know factors like spacing, door clearance, etc. by heart. We also know clever, creative ways to work around design challenges like sloped ceilings and HVAC systems. And we make these problem-solving designs look good.
2. We don’t work for IKEA. That means we have the freedom to make suggestions that will get you closer to your goal, like using doors and drawer fronts from a third-party supplier or suggesting hacks to maximize your storage.
3. We help from the beginning of your closet project to the end. All customers have access to our vetted network of installers who are already familiar with IKEA cabinetry.

Get the Closet You Want Without the Outrageous Cost

IKD gives you an affordable IKEA closet design with a level of finesse that can only come from a skilled professional designer.
