Metro Vancouver has two IKEA stores, one on each side of the city. IKEA Richmond, on Jacombs Road near the Canada Line, is the natural stop for the Westside, South Vancouver, Richmond and Ladner. IKEA Coquitlam, on Lougheed Highway just off Highway 1, suits Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge. For the Fraser Valley, IKEA runs a Plan and order point in Abbotsford.

One local detail: at Coquitlam, IKEA says kitchens are collected from a separate pick-up warehouse on Brigantine Drive rather than at the store. Richmond is getting a warehouse extension due in fall 2027, and IKEA says the store is trading as normal in the meantime.

Those stores supply the SEKTION boxes and drawers. The fronts can come from a maker. Custom doors for IKEA kitchens are one way to make a compact condo kitchen in Yaletown or Brentwood look built in, or to warm up a Kitsilano character house.

Strata buildings bring their own rules: elevator bookings, padded walls, quiet hours. A refacer who works in Vancouver towers will know the routine.

Fronts lets you send your plan once and compare local refacers who handle IKEA kitchen refacing from measuring to install with makers who ship flat-packed custom fronts.

Questions about custom IKEA doors and fronts in Vancouver

Richmond or Coquitlam: which IKEA should I use?

Go by geography. IKEA Richmond, at 3320 Jacombs Road, is easier for Vancouver’s west and south sides, Richmond and Delta. IKEA Coquitlam, at 1000 Lougheed Highway, suits Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities. If you buy a kitchen in Coquitlam, note that IKEA has kitchens picked up from its warehouse at 1751 Brigantine Drive, not the store.

Does my strata need to know about new kitchen fronts?

Changing fronts is work inside your own unit, but most strata bylaws still govern how the work happens: booking the elevator, protecting common areas and keeping to permitted hours. Read your bylaws or ask the property manager before install day, and pass the rules on to your refacer so nobody is turned away at the loading bay.

I live in the Fraser Valley. Where can I plan an IKEA kitchen?

IKEA has a Plan and order point in Abbotsford that doubles as a pick-up location, with one-on-one kitchen planning appointments. That can save a trip into Coquitlam. Once the plan is done, send it through Fronts and compare makers who ship flat-packed fronts with any refacers who serve your part of the valley.
