Custom IKEA Built-in media center

Custom built-ins made with IKEA cabinets

This custom IKEA built in media center was made using a combination of IKEA’s kitchen cabinets, plus some additional trim, molding and paint to give it a fully custom, built-in look. We've found that by using this hybrid approach, it's possible to build beautiful, expensive looking built-ins at a fraction of the price. Our designer Breanne worked with the homeowner to design this awesome two-tiered media center with tons of much-needed storage for their basement play room/media room.

Two-tiered media center and storage

As you can see in the photo below, the customer had a really big awkward space that really served no purpose and ended up reverting to a giant catch-all.

Original space (before)

Using IKEA Adel Off-White kitchen cabinets, Breanne's design crammed as much storage into the space as possible!

Media center design, using IKEA cabinets

To tie everything together, we used a combination of matching panels from IKEA, and MDF molding which we painted with color matched paint.

IKEA cabinets combined with custom molding for built-in look

All the messy media cables tuck nicely in the space behind the cabinets and the components store out of site behind the cabinet doors when not in use.

Media storage inside IKEA cabinets

The customers are super excited to finally have the storage they need and an excuse to buy an enormous new TV that will fill in the space!
