Before We Meet: Planning Your IKEA Kitchen

Thank you for trusting me with your kitchen layout. A little preparation on your side makes the road from idea to final plan shorter, with fewer misunderstandings.

Three steps

How we get to your layout plan

Before we meet, I’d like to learn a bit about your project. My Kitchen Planner works on your phone: fill in what you know, take it with you to IKEA to snap photos of what you like, and send it to me with one tap. Many things are probably still undecided. That’s fine. Fill in what you can and leave the rest blank. We’ll go through it together.

1
Visit IKEA with the planner

Open the Kitchen Planner on your phone and snap photos of the doors, colours and countertops you like, and their price tags. Bring home a sample front and live with it until the choice feels right. You can also do this after we meet, but before is better.

2
Send it to me

Answer what you can. If you haven’t decided something yet, skip it. Then tap Send to Lars before our meeting, and I get a PDF with all your answers and photos.

We meet in your kitchen

I take the measurements, and we go through the heart of the layout together: where everything goes. That part is too complicated for an app, so we do it face to face.

In-home planning: $349 + HST. Measurements and your layout plan are included. See Rates for details.

Tips: Open the planner on your phone and add it to your home screen, so you can come back to it anytime. Your answers are saved on your phone until you send them to me.

Questions before we meet? Email me. See you soon, Lars
