In Canada, IKEA has a few different kitchen lines, with the most popular and versatile one being called SEKTION.

SEKTION has become a staple in IKEA's kitchen offerings, known for its easy setup, flexibility, and sleek modern aesthetics. SEKTION is a modular line where the cabinet dimensions are pre-set, but the layout and functionality can be entirely tailored to your needs.

Flat-Pack to Fabulous

Hey there, design enthusiasts! Let's talk kitchen magic, shall we? IKEA's SEKTION kitchen line is where style meets flexibility. SEKTION's versatile range includes base, wall, high, and specialty cabinets, allowing homeowners to customize their kitchen layout. It offers practically endless combinations of drawers, pull-out shelves, and doors - you name it, SEKTION lets you create a combination that fits you perfectly. Cabinets come in various heights and depths, ensuring both visual appeal and ergonomic functionality.

While bold colors like red or yellow aren't available, SEKTION offers timeless options such as white, navy blue, black, and various wood grains. Homeowners can choose from traditional, modern, or minimalist designs to match their overall kitchen aesthetic. This variety ensures that the kitchen reflects a unique style, and in 2023, the selection range is vast. Trust me; your dream kitchen aesthetic? It's waiting for you in SEKTION.

Now, here's the real beauty - modularity. The units are modular, which means you can choose different-sized cabinets ranging from 12 inches wide to 36 inches wide. The modular nature of SEKTION allows for easy expansion or modification of the kitchen in the future. This modularity means your kitchen can evolve with you. You can add new interior fixtures, change doors for drawers, and update components without a major overhaul. Need more storage? More lighting? Dreaming of a different layout? Go ahead, change it up! It's a practical choice for an ever-evolving kitchen.

SEKTION offers the following widths of cabinets: 12 inches, 15 inches, 18 inches, 21 inches, 24 inches, 30 inches, and 36 inches. The base cabinets are 24 inches deep, and the wall cabinets are 15 inches deep. Wall cabinets can be in heights of 15 inches, 20 inches, 30 inches, or 40 inches. You can use these boxes anywhere, as they are attached to the wall with a railing.

IKEA provides all sorts of clever interior fittings that are adjustable to suit the user's needs best. This adaptability ensures efficient use of space and easy organization. IKEA's extensive collection of jars, containers, and storage solutions ensures that every inch of your kitchen is utilized effectively.

IKEA's interior organizational fittings are a game-changer in the world of kitchen design. Among their innovations, the hidden drawer in the SEKTION line stands out, providing a discreet yet highly functional storage option.

There is the option to add lighting under the cabinets, inside them, or inside drawers that turn on when you open them.

SEKTION cabinets are designed to seamlessly integrate with appliances such as ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, and dishwashers. Some appliances can even be covered with a door that is the same as the rest of the kitchen cabinets.

IKEA isn’t just about fantastic designs; they've got your back when it comes to installation too. That means you can trust the same people who designed your kitchen to install it seamlessly. It can be done yourself as the process is straight forward, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have carpentry experience and the right tools.

Now, let’s talk about price. IKEA’s offering top-notch quality and style at a price point that won’t break the bank. I’ve searched high and low, and trust me, nowhere else offers this level of elegance and smart design at such competitive rates. A kitchen like the one above might cost maybe 8K with the appliances included (based on the hundreds of IKEA kitchens I have personally designed).

In a world that's all about evolving trends and modern sensibilities, SEKTION stands tall as the modern and smart choice. Whether you’re a minimalist, a maximalist, or someone in between, SEKTION is the kitchen makeover you’ve been dreaming of. IKEA is a one-stop-shop for kitchen cabinets, the dishes, the table, the furniture and installation.

We are attempting to install an IKEA kitchen together. If we make it to year 26 it will be a miracle. The constant “have you seen the hammer? “ “Where is the drill?” “ What happened to the bag of screws?” Is going to drive me insane.
