It was nice to have an honest review by someone that's actually used them.
I think they look very nice!
Keep it as is. Your girls are growing up, and that means your house is going to be a hang out with lots of kids coming over. That brings fun and oops bangs and some mishaps. You'll stress less about it knowing you didn't update to watch teenagers destroy it when being just kids.😊
Agreed! Family first! ❤ My mom LOVED decorating and renovation. She changed our kitchen four times- before I was born, in the 80's (12 years later), before H.S. (10 years later) and once she & dad were empty nesters. I would say the 80's kitchen was only great in the eighties...Melamine! 😆 However, when she went back to her original traditional style like your's that flexed well with trends, that final makeover was sooo much less expensive because the bones stayed.
On a personal note, polished chrome is a timeless choice. I like how it plays with the other finishes in your house without being so match-y.
I’ve had my IKEA kitchen and baths for 15 years and LOVE the way they’ve lasted! And I love all the customization you get , with pull out drawers, pull out pantry cabinet, lazy Susan corner shelves, glass front cabinet fronts, and stylish hardware. Highly recommend IKEA.
I half renovated my kitchen in 2005 using ikea cabinets. In 2018, I totally renovated the kitchen, reusing the upper glass cabinets and retaining the pantry. My glass door cabinets had developed a grimy black stain around the edges. I mentioned this to ikea when I was buying the new cabinets. Despite the older cabinets being out stock, they replaced all the doors free of charge-I still had my original receipts.
So do keep your receipts if you buy Ikea cabinets.
My kitchen has held up well.
I think keeping the cabinets clean is as much about upper vs lower cabinets as it is about color. I do love the look of your kitchen
Love your kitchen & so reassuring it's lasted 10 yrs. Just installed my IKEA kitchen. So happy with it both in terms of style - modern/traditional + cost. Went for beige/taupe fronts, some glass doors for upper cabinets and beige/marble effect counter tops & light gray tiled splash back. Just love it's warmth & cosiness
I had an ikea kitchen since 2009, still not a scratch on the cabinets, still everything works as it should.
So, after spending time with friends who have come into money - and don't hesitate to let us know that - I am even happier that I am not splurging but am still happy with what I have. You make so much of what you do special.
I have the same IKEA cabinets, but all white and the uppers have all glass doors going up to the ceiling. I have also had them about 10 years and they also have held up very well. Love the marble backsplash!
I have a grey Ikea kitchen and I absolutely love it. The cabinets are easy to clean and the organization of the drawers is fantastic. Keep your kitchen the way it is. It’s beautiful.
High gloss cabinetry are easy to clean and white the easiest of all. Black will still show every mark, however.
The uppers cabinets are always going to be in better shape than the lowers. I have all wood and I notice that with them also. The uppers are in much better shape.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ First and foremost, your kitchen looks amazing, great job. I also purchased my entire kitchen from IKEA almost ten years ago. Having said that, I decided on all white kitchen, with cabinets going all the way to the ceiling, with a combination of the upper ones with glass doors along with lighting and lighting below the cabinets which come on at sunset. I also, added the lighting in side the drawers, which I love at night. On the other hand, I decided to warm up the kitchen with a section of 3 inch natural wood stain shelves for my every day dishes and glasses. I must say, my kitchen still looks like the first day that it was installed. I opted for the stainless steel farm apron sink plus a pot filler, that we use all the time. Furthermore, I chose the Carrera Quartz with beautiful veins which I also used for my backsplash all the way up to the cabinets, and decided for the 3 inch waterfall on each side of the island. Moreover, all of my appliances are finger free stainless steel. The only con I find in my kitchen, are the stainless steel Miseno Eaton 3 Inch Center to Center Bar Cabinet Pulls. Due to the fact, that every time I'm going from drawer to drawer the end of the pulls gets caught on my robe or pants pocket. Therefore, I'm searching for more solid ones. Lastly, my friends now all have warmed up to my classic all white kitchen, and they still can't believe is from IKEA.
It sounds beautiful. You will have to include a photo to give us all inspiration 😊.
I love the look of the black and white kitchen with the warmth of the wood countertops. I'm a fan of the way it is. Thumbs up to your design choices a decade ago!
After 10 years, your IKEA kitchen is holding up very well. The Shaker style is not for me, but a lot of people like the look. Black is definitely hard to keep clean and I would always advise against it for cabinetry. I watch a lot of HGTV makeover shows where people go "custom" at a cost of THOUSANDS. Given that those kitchens are open to a main room, I don't see the need since you are not trying to work within walls. Generally, people are quite snobbish about IKEA, but the kitchens come with a 25 year guarantee and provided it is properly fitted and looked after, can look good for years.
My IKEA kitchen is 9 years old and I still love it. It is holding up really well. I was upset when they changed their entire line too. Makes adding or changing parts difficult.
This is good information to have. I’ve always wondered how an IKEA kitchen holds up and now I know. Thank you.
We have a white IKEA kitchen, with the same glass fronted doors. After 12 years, they are holding up well. I use a combination of white and cream colored appliance touch-up paint to cover the few nicks and scratches that we have. It works great. We have the butcher block counter tops, but they need refinished. Please! Would you do a video on how you refinished yours? Thank you 😊
Perhaps the reason why the black didn't hold up as well, is because that lower area is what is used more, the area that is right at baby's/kids level. Our bodies are more against those cabinets than the uppers. So they are in the line-of-fire - every day, all day long.
Just a thought!!
As much as I think a marble countertop island would be beautiful, your kitchen looks gorgeous as! For some reason, I don't even "see" or my mind doesn't register, the black cabinets. Maybe that's what it is supposed to do(?)
Enjoy your weekend!!
Always loved your kitchen! The two tone/colors looks like what they are doing now in kitchens.
Love your kitchen style ! You could just do a solid service ( marble look ) on the island and leave the butcher block on the counters. Yes gold hardware would give it a refresh. I’m getting ready to start our Ikea kitchen thank you so much for your review ❤
I’ve built 6 IKEA kitchen to our rentals over the last 20 years. All are still looking amazing.
Awesome.
We have rentals but NO Ikea.
That is awesome!
Your color choice 10 years a go was definitely ahead of the times-love it. It looks great the way it is, but I know how you feel about doing some small changes. I get the itch for change, just for the heck of it, once in a while. Good info about the Ikea cabinets, especially since it is an active kitchen.
thank you clear short descriptive confident and transparent
Love the black and white! Always a good choice, sophisticated and timeless! 😊
Thank you for the review ❤
Great video and very informative on how the Ikea products hold up with a busy family. I say change out the drawer pulls. Will update the kitchen with little effort.
I absolutely LOVE butcher block countertops...even used it on a big L-shaped island in a house we built. That said...I thing your kitchen would look amazing with a more solid, mostly white, countertops. It would really brighten up your space and freshen up the 'style'.
If you want gold knobs and pulls, save money and spray paint them and you'll save alot of money. That's what Elishia English did with hers on you tube.
I love the white and black! It looks great on the video stylewise and I'd even say cleanliness wise. That is totally on trend and you were definitely ahead of style. Same with the marble to the ceiling! Nice choices.
🙋♀️ Christina! I ❤ your kitchen and think it looks VERY new given its 10 year age. Very cohesive. On the outside looking in, I agree I would change up the hardware. I love the current but I would consider mixing up the styles. Not necessarily the color. I love polished chrome but would like to see bar handles mixed with your current hardware. Thank you for sharing and explaining your choices. Can be very overwhelming to pick but breaking it down into steps and whys allows a result that works. 👏🏻❣️👏🏻❣️👏🏻❣️
Thanks for watching! Yes, that could be a great update; good idea.
love the look. colors can play
I really like the way your kitchen looks right now!!! Maybe the island counter changed and new hardware, you would have that NEW look....but if you're happy...you're happy!!! ❤😊
We had an entire Ikea kitchen installed last September and absouloutly love love it we also have the matching cabinets in the laundry / coffee bar area i have worked for Lowes and Home Depot for over 25 years and with my experience i would never buy a kitchen from either of them we also purchased the black hardware we did buy the white ikea touch up pen off amazon works fine we also did purchase the farm house sink love it and all the bamboo organizers also so over all so far so good !! Love your two tone kitchen !!
'i have worked for Lowes and Home Depot for over 25 years and with my experience i would never buy a kitchen from either of them ...' Good to know.
I agree with an "all white" kitchen. It is classic and timeless. (I am happy being boring😊). Together with the overhead wall cabinets, I think that the glass doors break up the white just enough. I also like the handles (although maybe in brass), - and love that sink. The cabin, with its white panelling and the contrasting wood looks great too. Lovely kitchen. Good old Ikea! Thank you for some really helpful feedback.
Still love it. Your design Christina back then was right on. Been along while since I've commented, always watch and thumbs up your vides. You're always so delightful and inspiring. Thank you for a great review. Have a nice weekend~♡~
I love your kitchen! We bought our house with custom cabinets that have fallen apart over the years. You've got me eyeing IKEA now.😉
That’s good to know. Thanks for sharing, Christina ❤
A change is always fun. I think it would be nice either way though.
It is beautiful! Don't change it! But it is yours!
We are getting ready to install our 3rd Ikea cabinet set. 2 are over 10 years old and in rental houses. They have held up quite well and for the money are a good value.
Thanks for your honest review. I think with 3 kids, you can really give a good review of how they wear.
The newest cabinet is bright white. We just did a kitchen in our basement, and its whiter than the last kitchen we put in (2020).
I feel like the lower cabinets just take a beating since they're down low at human height. The uppers don't get bumped and kicked with shoes and are up out of the way above the counters. If the lowers were white too they would definitely be aging faster than the uppers. ❤❤
I’m a big fan of your kitchen, I wouldn’t have thought it was designed 10 yrs ago. However, l also get the itch to change the look or over all feel of spaces after a while too. I also love mixed metals and mixed materials so you may consider to change just a few things to get a whole fresh feel. The island would be a great place to start as it stand out the most. Mix it up as you can afford to do so, have fun and enjoy your space. Can wait to see what you decide but it does still look amazing as is.
Thank you very much for this video! We have an old Ikea kitchen (17 years old) and now we are making a full reno with Ikea cabinetries and a quartz countertop. 🙂
How did they hold up after 17 years? do the drawers and doors still function properly? I can't get any builder to take Ikea seriously, and the builders I have spoken to refuse to install Ikea, but I tend to believe that Ikea is VERY good.
@@SoCalVipers yes, the structure of the kitchen was still in good conditions. Me and my husband have built the old kitchen and also the new one. It takes time, but our attention for the details is priceless! 🙂
Thank you for the informative review, ten years later. It is so helpful to have a personal insight on the functionality and durability of the kitchen. I love the organization and customization that ikea offer but apprehensive on the lack of information on its longevity.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your kitchen!
I love the black and white.
I have marble look quartz countertops and love them - I think they would look good in your kitchen as well. I have light turquoise cabinets, however.
After 10 years, I think I would change the pulls also - it's easy to do and not expensive and can give you an instant update.
I like it a lot as is! No need to change anything.
If you change cabinet hardware, use knobs on all doors, not half circle pulls. Those are usually only for drawers. It will be more cohesive if all doors, upper and lower have the same type. Looks great!
It looks great after that time I wish I had it
I love your kitchen. Where did you get the curtains? I need then ❤
Kitchen looks great
Your kitchen looks amazing at 10 years old! 😳 I don't think it's because your lower cabinets are dark that has them wearing faster. It's just more wear and tear because of location. Our kitchen is 36 years old with oak cabinet doors, and we've only changed the appliances, counters - quartz replacing arborite - and hardwood floors instead of vinyl sheet flooring, plus sink and faucet, over the years. Our upper cabinets still look brand new, which boggles my mind sometimes, but the lowers, which are the same finish, are badly in need of refinishing, especially the sink cabinet. We have the same cabinetry in 2 and a half bathrooms and the laundry area, and only the main bedroom ensuite vanity needs work too. It's almost weird how deteriorated those two areas are, while the other bathrooms and laundry are still in just about perfect shape. I fancied gettng the worn out lowers redone in a darker tone, but after our most recent appliance update with stainless and black, I'm reminded why we never bought a dark colour car. I really dislike my dark stovetop, it never looks clean to me. Every speck of dust looms in my face! 😮 Thank you for the update Christina, it's very helpful information indeed! 😊👍💕 I think I agree with you that lighter counters might be nice for you, and a change of hardware to refresh, but other than your wishes for possible changes your kitchen looks great! 🤗👍
Looks wonderful! I’d like to ask how much the kitchen was in your cabin.
Your kitchen is beautiful!
The only problem with the review is that todays Ikea quality is nothing compared to the quality their stuff had 10-15years ago.
Today you can't really go off of reviews from Ikea bought in 2010 and prior, bc while you pay more the quality has gone down unfortunately. And that's for kitchens and of course other furniture.
I love your kitchen but if you’re looking for a switch - consider spray painting the knobs, that’s what I did recently.
Love it!
Great kitchen! I have a kitchen with 20 year old 'shaker' style cabinets made locally, and they still look stylish and contemporary We have white appliances. If you were to go all white next kitchen, what colour appliances would you use?
Thank you for the informative video. Just a non kitchen cabinet related question. I noticed that you have the kitchenaid 5 door refrigerator. Could you please share your honest opinion and experience with this unit? I am planning to buy one, so I will appreciate your response. How long have you had it and how so far it held up?
Thanks in advance.
Beautiful kitchen. I would not change it.
Great review and follow up. I owned my first coffee table in dark cherry wood this year. And it is indeed terrible to keep looking clean. dust collects and is challenging to remove from grooves. Horrible to keep looking clean. Scratches look more terrible than they actually are. Prices are definitely higher post pandemic. I find the quality, overall, is nothing like what it was pre-pandemic. All around, not specific to Ikea
I think your kitchen is timeless I wouldn't change a thing.
OMG - I cant believe this. We have been on the verge of buying the same Kitchen Aid range hood that you have but were afraid the black stainless steel wouldnt match the true black things in our kitchen. So happy we watched this - decided it's not an issue. RE changing the chrome to gold - I think if you change the pulls you'll probably want to change out all the chrome. That's a lot to change. Just sayin.
Love 2 tone kitchens and yours is beautiful. I’ve wondered if the lower cabinets were a stained instead of painted would that work?
God idea. Love the two different colors, but agree, stain may have longer lasting effect.
Thanks! My lowers are indeed stained, but it's very dark so you can hardly see the wood grain.
No problem with the butcher block near the stove (heat) or sink (water)? Thanks
Hi there.. how do you remove the stains from the white cabinets I have the same cabinets and the stains will not come off??
Would you recommend IKEA home service to design and measure ? Or did you plan out the design yourself
Forget the matter gold. You would then want to replace the faucet and other metal items
Memories are more important than getting rid of scratches.
Do they install them
7:29 I have a small kitchen & wondering how you like the corner counter-top cabinet?? Seems like a good idea.
Yes, we love it for bread & toast items like peanut butter etc.
Are those Ikea Off white bobdyn cabinets? If so, Ikea still sells them.
Was it difficult to do the farmhouse sink with Ikea cabinets. I’ve heard it tricky ?
I want to go to an ikea so bad... closest is 6 hours away. Hubby says it isn't good quality, but i keep telling him, even if it's on the cheaper made side, if you take care of it, it will last.
Among the ikea cabinets, there are those that are better and cheaper quality. You need to read carefully (or ask the people working there) which cabinet fronts and doors will hold up better. I’ve had my ikea kitchen 11 years and still love it.
Could you paint these cabinets??
Yes! I cover this on my blog post: thediymommy.com/ikea-kitchen-review/
Solid wood kitchen cabinets? From Ikea? How? All I see is wrapped MDF in the UK
I would leave your kitchen as is. I know the gold hardware is in now, but give it a year or two and it will change again. Your kitchen still looks contemporary and very functional, which is the most important aspect.
😊
I put an IKEA kitchen into our cottage 8 years ago and constantly get compliments on it. It’s hard to beat IKEA’s design, functionality, price point and durability.
My white Ikea kitchen turned darker in colour. Almost yellowish.. 6 years old. Also some stains will not come off.
Wouldn't buy it again at Ikea.
💚
❤
I had kitchen and bathroom Ikea and after a couple of years all swelled near any dampness. I'll never buy them again
You didn't prepare the space properly. IKEA kitchens are guaranteed for 25 years, but it cannot mitigate against user sloppiness.
@eattherich9215 It was just a normal house. The old units were fine apart from old fashion. They did last way more than 25 years
Too much talking 😢
