The Velora process

IKEA provides the modular structure. Velora designs and makes the visible components. Kitchens, wardrobes, and bathroom briefs are available now, with every project reviewed before acceptance.

From IKEA boxes to a finished Velora room.

Step by step

The process begins with the room you have—not with a catalog. Each step answers one decision before moving to the next.

Four steps, in the order they happen.

01

Show us the room

Send photos, rough measurements, your IKEA layout if you have one, and a few notes about how you want the room to work.

02

Confirm the modular foundation

We identify the IKEA SEKTION boxes or PAX frames that stay, or help map the standard modules needed for a new layout.

03

Choose the visible finish

Select Seda matte lacquer, Veta wood veneer, or Lino furniture linoleum, then pair the fronts with panels, handles, and a countertop.

04

Review before you continue

A person reviews every bespoke brief. If the project is approved, a fully refundable $250 reservation holds your place before original design work begins.

What we make

Kitchens use IKEA SEKTION boxes. Wardrobes use IKEA PAX frames. Bathroom vanities use the same modular-foundation idea. Velora makes the visible layer for each room.

One approach, three rooms.

Velora is an independent custom-furniture studio and is not affiliated with IKEA or any cabinet-system manufacturer. IKEA is a trademark of Inter IKEA Systems B.V.

Questions, answered.

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.
