You have to tip your hat to IKEA.

While well-known for building low cost, stylish furniture (that you painfully assemble yourself), they’ve managed to break into the kitchen design business big time.

In fact, more and more people are opting for IKEA kitchens because they do look great, are decent quality and cost less than other custom kitchen options. Moreover, IKEA offers a lot of options with respect to cabinets, countertops and fixtures.

Below is a huge collection of IKEA kitchen ideas and examples. Check them out for inspiration.

Old World Kitchen

This is a perfect combination of a kitchen and a dining area. The chandelier hanging from the ceilings have a distinctive shield shape reminiscent of the knights of old. The pale green curtains and the dim lighting of the kitchen gives the room a very medieval feel.

In the Black Kitchen

This super elegant kitchen has black walls, black cabinetry units, and black hanging lamps. The pale floor, countertops and golden wood table provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the black finish of the kitchen. This kitchen is influenced by Asian themes .

Tiled Backsplash Kitchen

This kitchen has a huge marble top counter, which provides ample space for lots of baking. The floor of the kitchen is lined with soft carpet.

The walls of the kitchen, however, are tiled with white, brick-shaped tiles. The two huge lamps and the peach colored wall section provide lightness and brightness to the room.

Red Cedar and Black Tile Kitchen

This stunning, bright and warm kitchen comprises of mostly redwood fixtures coupled with black countertops. The small black marble tiles lend a hint of sophistication to the kitchen.

However, the large hanging lamps and tiny spotlights provide plenty of light to the kitchen, which would otherwise have looked too gloomy.

Fishscale Lantern Kitchen

This wonderfully modern kitchen has a bit of Asian style to it, primarily because of the twin silver fishscale lamps hanging from the ceiling. Although much of the kitchen has clean, white, stark lines, the soft golden glow from the hanging lanterns give it a warm and welcoming feeling.

Steel-Toned Kitchen

This stylish and functional kitchen contains a dark wood cabinetry unit that comprises almost the entirety of one wall.

The island made of the same wood is placed in the middle of the kitchen and is bedecked with stainless steel pots and pans. The silver kitchen vent also lends a touch of modern steel to the wooden-themed kitchen.

Darker Than Red Kitchen

The fixtures in this kitchen mimic the beautiful crimson colors of redwood. The walls and the floors are of soft muted, white and grey shades and the hanging lamps provide plenty of light to brighten up the room.

Pattern Play Kitchen

This kitchen has plenty of patterns and colors which give a nod to nature. The ceiling is made up of open beams, above which you can detect a stripy, green pattern.

The rug below the table is of dark color with fluid, white pattern. Best of all, one wall is almost entirely covered by a huge painting of a forest in the fall season.

Studio Style Kitchen

This kitchen looks more like it belongs in a film studio. The three studio chairs, and the three hanging lamps on the island give the impression of trailing cables, like what you see in the backstage of a production.

There are also several studio spotlights hanging from the ceiling, furthering the impression of a film set.

Eclectic Kitchen

The most striking things in this kitchen are the pale wood stools and the table. Although the overall look of the kitchen, with its grey wall, white counters and island, and steel vent hood, is quite modern, the wooden pieces give it an eclectic and mix-and-match feel. The effect is very cool.

Juxtapose Kitchen

Have you ever seen a kitchen so full of contradictions? The room has warm brown country-style chairs but ornate chandeliers that seem to belong to the Victorian era.

Then there are the ultra-modern hanging lamps near the sink, which is part of a concrete-colored counter and cabinetry unit. This blend of old and new, rustic and urban creates one of the most delightful of kitchens.

Blended Redwood Kitchen

This warm and cozy looking kitchen is fitted with dark redwood island, fixtures and cabinets, giving it a very woodland look.

However, this rustic look is tempered by the steel and leather chair, the string of tiny studio spotlights and the triangular-shaped modern lamps suspended by some judicious use of chains.

Farmhouse Chic Kitchen

Sleek and Modern Kitchen

This kitchen is all about straight, sleek lines and metallic colors. The large island and stovetop is made up of a pale and smooth material with a rectangular shaped vent hood.

Stainless Steel and Wood Kitchen

This is a great kitchen to show off your stylish utensils, pots and pans. The fixtures are made of dark red-brown wood while the countertop is pale with lots of steel accents.

There is a steel bar for hanging your mugs and buckets with small plants. There are also well placed hooks for hanging all those shiny pans for easy access.
