Crafting High-End Custom Kitchen Solutions for IKEA Enthusiasts: The Croma Express Design Journey

Four years ago, interior design gurus Amy Kent and Ryan Martin identified a particular market: IKEA customers craving high-end kitchen customization and material upgrades. And voila: Croma Express Kitchen Design. Using, for example, a standard melamine cabinet as a base, Croma Express adds character with custom backsplashes and countertops and slick cabinet knobs, pulls and fixtures. Favoured upgrades include Caesarstone countertops from Ciot, undermounted sinks from Ginger’s and GE appliances.

The best fireplaces today need to combine efficiency with atmosphere, design flexibility with reliability. Few companies balance all of these demands as seamlessly as Valor Fireplaces, a Canadian heritage brand that has been setting the standard since 1977.
