Classic Mid-Century Modern with Nexus Brown

These are pictures of IKEA cabinets installed in the kitchen and laundry room of a classic mid-century modern. The home has many original period touches and the kitchen needed to be both modern and yet blend perfectly with the rest of the home.

Tekbuild.LLC was enlisted to figure out how to use the IKEA Nexus brown cabinets for a very custom appearance while utilizing, and not moving existing elements such as the large exhaust hood, a 1950’s metal sink, (that was larger than any IKEA sink bases), and conceal a hot water heater. All utilities remained in their original location.



Some of the specifics that are not readily apparent in the photographs are:

The sink base is actually 2-24” cabinets combined to accommodate the large metal sink.

The blind corner base to the right of the sink has been modified to be less than 47” long to but still retain the pullout shelves. This was necessary to have matching cabinets on both sides of the wide range and not relocate the exhaust hood a few inches to the right.

The above refrigerator cabinet is actually built out from the wall to give a more built-in appearance to the deep refrigerator.

The pantry cabinet to the left of the washer and dryer was modified to conceal the hot water heater.

As you can see, with a few modifications, the IKEA cabinets were a perfect solution at a fraction of the price of custom cabinets. If you are considering a new kitchen, give us a call so your project can turn out as beautiful as this one.
