Your Favorite IKEA Cabinet Upgrade Is Now Available for All Kitchen Renovations
When it comes to style, Brennan notes that anyone familiar with Semihandmade’s IKEA doors “can have exactly what [they]’ve been coveting,” as the identical slate of 41 existing material and color options will carry over to Semihandmade for All. Pick Shaker or Slab doors in an array of neutral tones and three wood grains developed by Chris Loves Julia. Opt for Impression doors in five shades of wood grain. Or follow Sarah Sherman Samuel’s lead with Quarterline, which is the designer’s clean, modern update on the traditional Shaker look.
And if your idea of customized cabinets means going fully DIY, unpainted doors are available in Shaker, Slab, and Quarterline. Brenner estimates that “between 20 and 30%” of Semihandmade’s IKEA doors are sold unpainted, and she expects this combination of customization and color freedom to appeal to professionals. Brenner also predicts that Semihandmade’s database of 3,500 interior designers will love the ability to access the brand’s designs without the trip to IKEA.

“Many designers consider this two-step process of Semihandmade-plus-IKEA to be a real pain point. They don’t want to shop in both places and assemble everything,” she admits. “Designers can now select from our door styles and colors for any client that wants a Semihandmade look, so they can save their client money which can be put towards other things in the home.”
Conveniently enough, those savings can be put to good use at Semihadmade’s freshly expanded online marketplace. New and upcoming offerings through brand partners include accessories from Hawkins, Caesarstone countertops, Backdrop Paint, and Shelfology shelves, just to name a few.
Today, the US cabinet market is a $4.2 billion industry for kitchens alone—and IKEA constitutes only about 5% of it. As such, the introduction of Semihandmade for All represents quite the opportunity not just for the brand, but also for the design lovers and pros who’ve been waiting for the chance to open new cabinet doors.
“We really believe that Semihandmade for All will be a game changer for consumers, the design community, and our business,” Brennan asserts. “We’re excited to spread the love to anyone with cabinets.”
