Here are some pictures from our latest kitchen remodel
These are IKEA’s ABSTRAKT High-Gloss White cabinets.
The red glass mosaic backsplash was a bold choice, but it really works here!
Plenty of storage here, with a whole wall full of full height pantry cabinets!
IKEA doesn’t make a base corner cabinet with an angled front like this, but we were able to do a simple modification to their lazy-suzan cabinet which allows us to use this corner sink. The 17″ door from IKEA’s wall corner cabinet fits perfectly here.
This little wet bar area is oh-so-cool. The under cabinet LED lights really make things pop! The wine shelf is custom made using wall cover panels.
What Ikea product did you use for the full height cabinets?
Those are IKEA’s 80″ tall pantry cabinets: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69845455/#/S09834737
How did you do the modification for the corner sink cabinet, and what cabinet did you use? TY.
I would also like to know how you did the corner sink modification. We are looking to do the same within the next few weeks. Thank you!
It’s actually a pretty easy hack. We simply cut a triangle out of an extra shelf to fill in the open space on the base of the cabinet, and then use the 17″ door from the corner wall cabinet. The only trick is that you need to purchase the corner wall cabinet to get the hinges – At least that’s how it was for the Akurum line. I’m not sure with the Sektion line if you can buy the hinges separately. Hope that helps! good luck!
Could you please explain it step-by-step. What cabinet you started with, what modification you did, etc. Can it be done for the wall unit as well?
OK, I have to preface this by saying that we haven’t done this hack yet with the new SEKTION line of cabinets, but in theory it should still work the same. We started with this corner base cabinet: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90265500/#/70265501
Since we want the door to sit at a 45 degree angle, that’s going to leave an open space on the bottom of the cabinet, so we cut the appropriate sized triangle to fill that space using an extra shelf like these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10265542/#/80265529
you need special hinges for this door to open properly, and with the AKURUM line, the only way to get those hinges was to buy this cabinet: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40265507/#/30265503
It may be different for the SEKTION line.
Finally you need the door. For the AKURUM line we used the door from the 25″ corner wall cabinet (sorry no link because they don’t make it anymore). That door was 17″ wide, which was perfect, but the dimensions for the new SEKTION line are different. From what I can tell, this 18″ door should work: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10266725/#/50266714
But again, I haven’t tried this with the new line, so I can’t say for sure.
I hope this helps!
I promise the next time we do this hack I will make a how-to video! 😉
Can you explain the corner sink again? Did you order the corner base cabinet or the corner wall cabinet? How big is that sink?
What is the total width of your wet bar? Width of the sink base & wall cabinets? Does ikea has the wine rack?
It’s about 48″. We used 2 15″ uppers with a custom built shelf in the middle, and for the bottom we left 24″ for the wine fridge, and used an 18″ base cab for the sink. Hope that helps. Thanks for reading!
