High end appliances in IKEA Kitchens? Yes! IKEA Kitchens are affordable, allowing the savvy buyer to invest money in high-end appliances like Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Blue Star, Liebherr and Miele (and more!). We’ve even seen commercial appliances and other professional kitchen appliances! (See Splatgirl’s DIY Hallarum Kitchen to see a pro wok and 48″ oven installed)

We’re showcasing three IKEA Kitchens with high end appliances for you to salivate over. After you peel yourself up off the floor, hit the forums to ask questions of the owners of each kitchen if you want to know more! See all three kitchens after the jump and learn how you can make your appliance purchases pay to feed the hungry!

Make your Appliance Purchases Pay!

Before we get to the drool-worthy kitchens, we want you to know that IKEAFANS is donating half of all our affiliate sales revenues through December 24th to Heifer International as we launch our new Clicks for Clucks charitable giving program.

This means that by shopping through our links this holiday season, you can be helping the hungry to help themselves through Heifer International’s programs that provide animals, training and most importantly – hope, to hungry families and communities throughout the world. We think it’s a worthy cause!

Viking and Subzero IKEA Kitchen

IKEAFANS member Club411 is remodeling his Chicago loft and the kitchen with appliances from Subzero, Bosch and (mostly) Viking alongside Abstrakt White and Nexus Brown Black IKEA cabinets. This Viking kitchen has it all – even the toaster is Viking! A 10′ waterfall, home automation and a built-in flat screen TV make this kitchen a MUST-SEE! Oh, drool, drool…

Appliances:

Viking Appliances: Viking Downdraft Range Hood, Viking Cooktop, Viking 30″ Oven, Viking 30″ Warming Drawer, 30″ Viking Microhood.
Sinks: Kohler Crevasse and Zero Radius
Countertops: Caesartstone Blizzard

See the whole story of member Club411’s kitchen in the Kitchen Planning forum.

Bluestar, Liebherr and Miele IKEA Kitchen

barryc posted about his new IKEA kitchen with Abstrakt White and Nexus Black-Brown cabinets well over a year ago, but it’s worth a mention as it’s a really classic example of how to get the bang for your buck. Barry gives really nice reviews of each appliance they chose, including pros and cons and the reasons for choosing the individual models. But enough talk … down to the appliance list and the pictures!

Appliances:

Liebherr counter depth fridge
Blue Star 30″ range
Miele 18″ dishwasher
Prestige 30″ recirculating range hood

Wolf, Subzero and Miele IKEA Kitchen

IKEA Fans Moderatrix Kelly and her husband John DIYed this gorgeous Nexus Yellow-Brown kitchen which includes Miele ovens, a Wolf rangetop, Subzero glass-fronted refrigerator and pull-out freezer drawers. Gorgeous granite with a ledge sporting Mockett power grommets and a beautiful zero-radius sink purchased from none other than Costco! It’s even more beautiful now that it’s completed. I’ve cooked in this kitchen, and it’s FABULOUS!

In the picture above is a specialized drawer to accommodate a Ladybug steamer – the ultimate in cleaning ability (or insanity, not sure).
