Topping the list of reasons we love IKEA? No, it's not their Swedish meatballs (delicious), or their selection of extremely affordable rattan lighting (so extensive! so chic!), but their kitchen systems. Equipped with a 25-year warranty and shockingly low price tags, IKEA kitchens are an affordable and long-lasting solution for homeowners who want to renovate but just aren't in a position to splurge on custom cabinetry. Designers, no surprise, are obsessed with them. The styles and sizes offered are abundant, but if you want to just shop for their basic cabinetry and customize it yourself, that's an option too (duh, it is IKEA, after all). There are a handful of brands that make cabinet and drawer fronts exclusively to fit IKEA systems, and you've got the ability to DIY your day away to make them special too. To make your future kitchen renovation a breeze, we've rounded up some of the most beautiful IKEA kitchens we could find and teased out the brilliant ideas that set them apart from the pack.
