    I once believed that an IKEA kitchen would go together like Lego. I drove hundreds of miles and spent thousands of dollars getting everything I needed from IKEA. I thought that was the hard part finished. Soon after getting started with assembly and installation I realized that specialized skills, techniques and knowledge are required to get professional results. THIS CHANNEL saved the day for me. Over the past year, I have watch every video on Kitchen by Rannes. Now I have completed several large complex IKEA projects, and everything looks great and functions perfectly. My faith has been restored in IKEA, and social media in general. Many people believed the Google brothers paid too much for UA-cam back in November of 2006. Now we can't imagine life without it.

    I had to do an Empty corner in the planner. (no cabinet) I just don't know how to do that in the real-world. I could use some help. I can send you the plan I did if you would be willing to peek at it. All of your videos have been so very helpful!

      A "blind corner" isn't as difficult as you may think. You just cut two pieces of fillers from panels, in the same height as the cabinets. Onof the fillers must be about an inch wider then needed to fill up the open void from one cabinet side and go beyond the other filler, which must be cut to fit in between the before mentioned filler and the side of the other cabinet. I cut and mount the widest filler first, and then I measure, cut and mount the second one. Since the corner is empty you can easily reach in and down to screw the two fillers together when both of them have been screwed into their respective cabinet. I hope it makes sense 😀

    Great tutorial thank you! I'd like to know what is the length of the filler space in cm form each side. There are no exact measurments in the IKEA manuals about these. Also how long is the space length of the countertop which expands outside the cabinet from one side? (It is something seen on the plan and photos but not specified exactly). Thanks in advance!

    • @kitchensbyrannes
      @kitchensbyrannes  Рік тому +1

      You're welcome.
      The length is the height of the cabinets (30" or 80 cm) and the width is flexible. The long corner cabinet can be moved along the rail if necessary and the filler towards the adjacent can be made wider than the standard 2 ⅛" or 55 mm if needed.

    Hi have a question about the panel on the left side of the pantry cabinet, it won’t have any more cabinet next to it, so my question is: we are gonna install the panel until the floor or just to to bottom line of the pantry cabinet? Thanks?

    • @kitchensbyrannes
      @kitchensbyrannes  Рік тому +1

      Hi Patrick.
      It depends. If it's a 90" pantry I always use a 90"panel ie not running to the floor. I don't want to use a 36x96" panel for this. If it's an 80" cabinet, I can use an 80" panel in the same way, or cut a 90" panel to run to the floor.

    Thanks a bunch for your great videos! Just wondering if we can install a narrower door for the blind corner cabinet? It is 21" wide but my fridge blocks few inches of this door. So I'm thinking of installing a longer front panel and a narrower door (16" or so instead of 21"). Thanks again!

    • @kitchensbyrannes
      @kitchensbyrannes  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for your feedback. Yes, you can. Not 16" wide, though, as Ikea doesn't offer that. A 15" or 18" will do. There are a few things to consider, though.
      1) You cannot have a lazy Susan in there. Well, you can, but there's no room for it to swing out 🙂
      2) The cabinet must be modified, too, naturally.
      Here's some inspiration. ua-cam.com/users/shortsauhVknU-S0g?si=SepXqt0goNyn4qHk

    The designer at IKEA has somehow turned this corner cabinet from a 47 inch wide space needed, to a 59 inch space needed! A full 12 inches from its adjacent wall, just to accommodate the door opening next to my stove. I plan on buying a stove without a protruding handle, in the first place. Second, the 59 inch measurement that she factored in, moves everything else out of place so that my kitchen faucet is not centred under the window at all. That’s the most important factor along this wall. Is there any sin in pushing the cabinet closer to its adjacent wall, so that it doesn’t need to lose a foot of space, which we can’t afford to lose? This corner has been the reason why it has taken me 15 years to get the courage to even do the kitchen. It has always been the centre of the problem for the whole room. I really love your videos and your website, and would love to hear what you think of the dilemma. Also, I am reframing the wall that the corner cabinet will be running along, because I’m enlarging the window opening over the sink. The window is actually an opening in the wall that allows it to be an open concept type of kitchen. You might’ve guessed the corner cabinet will be the right hand corner of the room. With the sink , centred in the middle of the new larger opening. I’m totally willing to change the placement of the studs for the opening, just to make sure the faucet is in the centre of the opening. I am designing the wall around the cabinetry, rather than vice versa. I’m into this wall now, and need to make the final decision about how to restructure it, if I’m stuck with this unsolvable problem of 59 inches. I really appreciate anything you can tell me to help out. Love this channel!

      However, I am sorry to hear that the experts at Ikea is giving you troubles. I understand most of your dilemma, but I am not sure I get the all the details in order to provide you with a valuable answer. For that, I need to see your plan. You are welcome to email your plan to me and I will take quick look. Don't expect miracles from a few sentences though, for that I need more time.

    Have you also tried the method of stacking the two pannels side to side (parallel to each other)?
    That would mean the filler next to the other cabinet has the width of the panel thickness. This would not work if you rely on the filler to align the cabinets, so it would only be usable when the fillers don't matter in cabinet alignment. I wonder if door handles would colide.

    • @kitchensbyrannes
      @kitchensbyrannes  7 місяців тому

      Thank you for your question. If I understand correctly, is the filler between the corner and the adjacent cabinet only as thick as the two panels? Yes?
      In most cases, you want to try to have as much filler as the one provided with the corner cabinet.

      @@kitchensbyrannes thank you for taking the time to reply.
      Indeed the filler would be as thick as the two panels.
      The advantages would be to have no visible gaps, have no visible cuts and to have fillers up to doors/drawer front panel level, but to achieve this you would not use the provided filler.
      I've seen this in some videos and I'm wondering if I could use it, or I run at risk (or certainty) that handles will colide between cabinets. I intend to place the sink cabinet with large drawers next to the corner cabinet.

    • @kitchensbyrannes
      @kitchensbyrannes  7 місяців тому

      I was about to say that if the cabinet next to it has doors, go or it, with drawers, I'm not sure.
      What's the purpose?
      If it's to have no cuts, I think it's a trade-off as it will look weird I think 🤔
      Alternatively, get a deco strip instead. That's 2" and a bit, but you'll have to add a backer as it's not that thick, since you want it to protrude.

    • @doruneda7040
      @doruneda7040 7 місяців тому

      @@kitchensbyrannes my goal was to get with the fillers at the same level with the doors and drawers faces (like you get with method 2 prented), and at the same time avoid visible cuts (as you avoid with method 3).
      I think I will put them on position and try to see what happens, as it also depends on what exact angle I have in the kitchen corner.
      Thank you for the advice to use the deco strip.

    • @kitchensbyrannes
      @kitchensbyrannes  7 місяців тому

      Okay, I see.
      Just to clarify. Method 2, does make the panel and fronts flush, it only push the filler forward with its thickness. I don't recommend to make it flush as any adjustments if the door in the in or out direction will stand out a lot more than when it's not flush to begin with.
