Straight answers / Preview stage

Before you begin.

Velora is designed to feel clear from the first screen—including what is not available, not final, and not promised yet.

Is Velora taking on projects?

Yes. Kitchen, wardrobe, and bathroom briefs are open now for coastal San Diego. Every project is reviewed for fit and studio capacity before it is accepted.

Is this a whole new kitchen, or just the fronts?

Just the visible parts — doors, drawer fronts, side panels, plinths, handles, and countertops. The internal cabinet boxes are IKEA’s. Reusing IKEA’s well-made boxes is exactly what keeps the Velora look affordable.

Do I have to buy IKEA cabinets?

Yes. Velora makes the fronts and finishes that fit the IKEA SEKTION (kitchen) and PAX (wardrobe) cabinet boxes. You buy the boxes from IKEA; we make everything you see. Velora is independent and not affiliated with IKEA.

How much does Velora cost?

You pay Velora only for the visible pieces you choose — doors, panels, plinths, handles, and countertops — not for the whole IKEA system. Because every project is bespoke, there is no single sticker price. Approved briefs receive a personalised estimate and a fully refundable USD 250 reservation link.

What is the fully refundable USD 250 reservation?

It reserves your place for an original Velora design after your brief is approved. It is fully refundable on request before a separate project agreement is signed; it is not forfeited simply because you decide not to purchase the project.

Does Velora do wardrobes and bathrooms too?

Yes. Kitchens, IKEA PAX wardrobes, and compatible modular bathroom vanities are all available now through their own focused briefs.

Where does Velora work?

The first area is Carlsbad, Encinitas, Leucadia, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Other San Diego neighbourhoods may follow.
