Guide
Ikea AXSTAD MATTE BLUE + SEKTION
My comprehensive guide serves as a middle ground between you figuring out the 60 pieces (literally even a small Ikea cabinet project like this one has at least this many components you have to track and order!) and hiring me to custom design your project for you. I have broken it down into easy to follow steps helping you know exactly what to do!
Let’s take a look at what’s inside

Is This Guide for You?
Confident in your ability to read plans and use necessary tools (drill, circular or table saw, etc) to install the cabinets OR have the ability to hire an installer who can follow the plans and do it for you.
The wall you are installing on is a minimum 149"
For a “built in/ wall-to wall look” the wall is a maximum of 170"
If your wall is greater than 170" your storage will have space between it and the sidewalls, more like a piece of furniture.
You have an approximate budget of around $3,300 for the cost of the cabinets & fronts.

Ikea may change their item numbers, discontinue items, change item specifications, or change pricing to items that are included in this design.

Then you looked into using Ikea and are overwhelmed trying to figure out how to make it happen.
You have heard that an Ikea Cabinet solution is an affordable way to achieve a custom storage solution for your home but don't know where to begin?
You don't have the time to figure out the interworking of the cabinet system, designing the storage, figuring out what and how to order, and the instructions on how to install it?
this Product is for you!
I am on a mission to help homeowners make the most of their home with functional and beautiful Ikea cabinet projects that their guests won't believe are from Ikea.
That is why I created this Signature Guide for my most popular Ikea Cabinet Project.
This Product Delivers A CLiENT SERVICE level of Detail at a Reduced Price

This Cabinet Plan is More than Office Storage!
I worked really hard to make this Guide as comprehensive as possible, so you don’t have to work hard figuring out what parts you need, how to order it, or how to bring it all together.
The best part is that I created this so you can make simple adjustments to adapt it to your home and needs.
It gives you clear insight on how to think about using and planning with the Ikea Cabinet System.
Other ways to use this Design:
Create a charming desk area in a little kid’s bedroom. *Hint*- omitting the two middle cabinets allows you to lower the open countertop portion down to a standard, or even a children's desk height! I explain how to do this inside the product!
Create a functional command center for a busy mom in the family room, kitchen or den. I love the idea of adding a cute skirt to the open area and using it for pet storage - food bowls, container, etc.
A basement snack bar for your hungry teenagers or maybe even a little wine bar for you? The open area can be used for a shallow depth snack or wine fridge! The depth of this cabinet design is 15 ½”
As a mom of 3 little boys, my favorite idea for this storage solution is using it in a playroom. The two large side cabinets are perfect for storing away toys and craft supplies. The middle counter section can be left as designed at 35” height and adjustable height bars stools painted in bright colors would be the perfect spot for your creators to sit and draw or build legos!
I can eliminate the learning curve to give you the storage solution you need!
Understanding the Ikea cabinet system requires research, a made up language, and technical savvy. I should know - I have invested thousands of hours in understanding all of the intricacies of this system and building a fool-proof method for planning, designing, ordering, and creating plans for my clients.
I have taken my most popular design and made it available to you!
how can i Get this guide?

You can do it, I am going to guide you through every step.

Artist's Kitchen
Katie was an actual life-saver. She was so incredibly detail oriented that it took away all the anxiety from our DIY kitchen. She even gave my husband tips for installing both the ikea and semihandmade pieces! We are 2-3 years since the kitchen was installed and it is still functioning perfectly and even made the transition to needing to store baby items flawlessly - it's like Katie thought ahead for us! We get compliments on the kitchen EVERY time someone comes over to our home and they are actually floored when they realize it's Ikea. I cannot say enough good things about Katie and recommend her to everyone I know considering a kitchen renovation (or any Ikea cabinet project).
Modern New Build
We hired Katie @housewithhome who specializes in Ikea x Semihandmade, and while it's not "custom" cabinetry, we got some pretty custom items like our spice shelves, pullout drawers within drawers, cabinet fronts on available appliances, and pullout trash cans in all spaces. NOT A SINGLE ITEM (of 338 pieces) was missing when we received our giant order thanks to Katie's precision, and her meticulous design process. her idea to include the white oak both vertically AND horizontally + including shelves created such a warm and functional vibe in the heart of our home. If there was a problem, she solved it!
Colorful Kitchen
Katie was a key component to our kitchen renovation. She helped push our design past what we thought was possible, and now I have the kitchen of my dreams. Her knowledge of the Ikea systems really took a lot of the stress away when it came to ordering and assembling the kitchen. She was also very helpful being our liaison with Semihandmade. Her services are worth every penny, and both my husband and I have zero regrets hiring her. I would recommend her to anyone!

I have designed countless Ikea cabinet kitchens, pantries, bars, media rooms, libraries, mudrooms... any storage solution you can imagine out of Ikea cabinets - and I want to share the details with you! I have done all the work to remove the confusion and simplify the process of designing and ordering these projects so you have what you need and they turn out beautifully. I will ensure you have a plan that marries function, budget, and beauty, the intersection of which I believe makes a
