"How do I know if I have an Akurum kitchen?"

In 2015, Ikea changed from their Akurum kitchen system to their current Sektion system. What that means is lots of you out there have older Ikea kitchens that unfortunately, not only can they no longer service in terms of warranty, they don’t even offer replacement fronts if you want to skip a full reno and just want do a simple refresh. But, great news for owners of Ikea kitchens bought as far back as 2003: we can help!

Not all older Ikea kitchens are clearly marked, and some people moving into a new place have never had an Ikea kitchen before, so how do you know if you have an Akurum kitchen?

Here are a few tips to easily identify which Ikea system you have
