IKEA Appliance Garage Hacks You Won't Believe

[@TMB62]

My Ikea kitchen was the best part of our renovation. I used their installer and the whole thing went up in two days. Loved it ❤

Couldn't you, for the appliance garage, not use the bottom piece of the cabinet so the appliances don't have to slide down/over it and reinforce at the back of the cabinet? Maybe 2 pieces to reinforce across the back bottom and another at the back top. To be extra safe you could run a piece across the top front. These could all be made with the existing cabinet bottom or wood painted white.

Ikea's failure to offer a legit appliance garage solution is the biggest problem with the entire IKEA system.

Well done answered alot of questions and I agree with custom toe kick platforms I think much stronger especially if stone countertops . Always think end from the beginning

Ikea cabinets would be an upgrade to my brand new Weisebaker builder services cabinets.

Hi! Question.. when installing new cabinets in kitchen reno, does the floor go under the cabinets

[@ryansoo4000]

Probably the first thing to consider in planning an appliance garage is "what appliances do you want to store in there"? I would consider that a toaster and a blender are the only two practical choices because they can both be used every day but can create a bit of mess (crumbs, lids and blades for the blender, etc). A coffee station gets used too much to be shut away in a cabinet and most people want to show off their expensive coffee machines and a crock pot or slow cooker is too big to fit in most appliance garages without taking up all the space. If you do have an appliance garage, make sure you put an outlet in the back for the appliances!

Wait wait wait -- what was that toe kick drawer at the end of your discussion on toe kicks? Is there a video of this customization? I heard a very funny supply chain story from an IKEA employee: I was complaining about the lack of cheese and they explained a distribution center was closed, a subcontractor was hired. That company transported it frozen instead of refrigerated, destroying over $2M of cheese in the first shipment alone. I can't imagine what the impact has been on sales...glad they are fixing their issues!

It's been a month since your video and no new content - did the Ikea Mafioso kidnap you for spilling secrets about their appliance garage?

I’ll be back soon! I’ve been travelling and managing a big commercial project and something had to give to stay sane.
