If you’re at all like me, you have fantasized (more than once) about your dream kitchen. For me, it has stainless steal, top-of-the-line appliances, ample cabinet space, a cute breakfast bar, gorgeous granite counter tops, an organized pantry, trendy, but functional light fixtures, and splashes of color in its accessories. I’m easy to please, right?! 
Last night, Mal and I went to Ikea to pick up a new storage piece for our apartment. While shopping, I took some time to enjoy the kitchen displays, which I love! They’re bright and sleek, and full of clever ideas that keep everything organized and in its right place. They’re heaven for someone like me who has a slight case of OCD!
Every time I see a new kitchen display at Ikea, I imagine what it would be like to cook, dine, and entertain in it. So, just for fun, I snapped some photos for you guys to select your Ikea dream kitchen (or just your favorite kitchen) from the 7 different options below.
(I was lucky to have a handsome male model as a visual aid during the kitchen photo shoot. Mal offered to demonstrate how you could interact within each of the kitchens. He is such a goofball!)

So fun! I’m liking Kitchen 1 the best, 6 second best.
I like kitchen 6 the best .. the white chairs are really a nice contrast!! so cute!
I love Mal’s antics in Kitchen 3!
I love kitchen number 7!!!!
Kitchen #2 and #5
Love it! I love Kitchen 5!
I love Mal acting all of the kitchens! But I definitely love Kitchen 1!
What a cool idea! You two are so cute. I pick Kitchen #1.
I think kitchen 4 would match my house best. But I like kitchen 5 too.
I love kitchen #4! It’s kind of country-cottage-modern. Which is your favorite?
#4
@Michelle Hisae: I like a mix of 4 and 5!
I LOVE kitchen #4!! Beautiful!
Awesome pics! I’m gonna have to pick #6 because it looks the cleanest yet homiest to me. Thanks for an interesting break in the blogging day!
Haha, Mal makes me laugh.
Kitchen 4! Oh I am drooling over it! I can’t wait to have a kitchen that is bigger than a closet!
Kitchen #5 is totally my favourite! I love the contrast of wood and stainless steel.. and love islands that can have barstools seated at them.
i like all the kitchens if only I had any of those kitchens! hilarious pictures by the way!
Ohhh tough call…I’d probably combine a few features from lots of them but I like #5 a lot!
They are all nice but I love love love kitchen 4.
Kitchen 1 and 5!! This is so fun!
#6… so homey!
Oooh lala… I freakin love Ikea. I would die of contentment with either kitchens #2 or #6!!!
Kitchen 1 has GREAT bold colors! But Kitchen 4 is so elegant. Not sure how I feel about the dining area IN the kitchen, but I’m sure that’s flexible
oooo kitchen number 2 please
Oh, it’s good I don’t have an IKEA near me – I would be in trouble!
I like 4 (but not with the big table right there), 5, and 2
Kitchen #2!!
I have to say 4 and 5 are my fav. I always fantasize of my dream kitchen! One day I tell myself! haha!
Kitchen number 4!!
Kitchen 4 – I love those floors. But Kitchen 3 is obviously the most sanitary – look at Mal scrubbing those hands! I’ve actually found my dream kitchen almost entirely to a T… but it’s in Savannah, Georgia. Booo.
PB’s kitchen looks most like kitchen 5. He has those IKEA cabinets but the centersof the doors are seethrough so you can see in them. And his granite is a gorgeous black sparkly kind, with stainless steel appliances. And a 4 person island! He did a GREAT job with his kitchen! I will take pictures next time I am down there
I love kitchen #3! Something about the black just catches my eye… All very nice though!
I love Ikea! I’m obsessed with red, so I’d pick #1 for sure.
kitchen #4 definitey, except i’d have a separate dining room. i love the dark wood floors against the white cabinets..i love dream world scenarios haha.
The last picture made me laugh!
Holy crap, Kitchen 5!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
#3, it is so quirky and fun!
I meant #2^^
#4 please and thank you.
#3 is definitely my style!
Kitchen 5.. I am all about the modern stainless steel look.
Hahaha. Mal is hilarious. I’d pick 1 or 5.
I love kitchen #4! My second place would go to Kitchen #2.
Ohhh I love kitchen 2 and 3. Love those green countertops (favorite color of the moment). I can’t wait until I actually have my own kitchen!
i love 5 but 2 seems more realistic for the house size ill probably end up with. and it had green, my fave color.
4 or 5, definitely!!!
Kitchen 3 please! I love warm wood, but I would have a dark purple wall.
#5 is awesome!!
Toss up between 1 or 5. Fun!
I love 4!
