This 1960s house in the heart of Virginia Beach’s Pembroke area has been transformed with a beautiful rustic-style kitchen designed by Swedish Kitchens. They used IKEA’s Grimslov doors and drawer fronts, complemented by gold handles, a red-gold faucet, and matching light fixtures. The countertop is the popular Carrera Minuet quartz, and the floors are hardwood. Swedish Kitchens also installed all new appliances, including a dishwasher with a built-in cover panel, a 36-inch refrigerator with a water line, a gas range oven, a built-in microwave, and LED lights in both the glass and under-wall cabinets. The kitchen will also feature a country-style mosaic backsplash when finished.

At Swedish Kitchens, we are committed to the quality and value of IKEA products. We offer a complete kitchen solution: starting with a free estimate for materials and labor, we then measure and design your kitchen. Once you approve the design, we provide a project number for you to use when paying directly to IKEA, either over the phone or in person. This ensures the materials’ warranty is in your name, and we don’t profit from IKEA parts.

It all started in 2013 when we designed and installed our own IKEA kitchen at home, which eventually led to us co-founding Virginia Kitchens. This was our first ever IKEA kitchen design, assembly and installation. It turned out so amazing good, that this lead to the idea of potentially build a business around it. Having the experience in Construction Management and Marketing Georgi decided to start this adventure few years later and was a co-founder and owner in Virginia Kitchens LLC for many years. 

The project included demolition of the old kitchen as well as removal of one interior wall, which was separating the kitchen from the living room. The result is an open concept kitchen which in essence becomes one with the living room. The wall removal allowed the kitchen planner to design a kitchen island, which became a great center piece and a functional storage unit. All kitchen cabinets are IKEA and the kitchen top is quarts.
