"We can't say enough good things about our experience with Swede. From our initial meeting through to project completion, communication was clear, all milestones were met and the estimated budget was about as close as it gets for a project of this scope. They really have the consultation, design and production processes dialled in, and the quality of the cabinets is outstanding. A huge thanks to the whole Swede team for helping make our kitchen renovation a genuinely enjoyable experience!"
Jessica S, Toronto ON
"We are beyond thrilled with our Swede kitchen and mudroom. Each space is beautiful, functional and flows with the design concept of our entire home that was being renovated. Every step of the design and planning process was enjoyable, and the user-friendly communication platform offered a simple and fast method to share ideas, design inspiration and delivery timelines - brilliant!"

"From start to finish the process with Swede has been seamless and enjoyable. Their organization in the Basecamp app is like no other company out there. Their offerings were also significant and the level of finish has exceeded my expectations. I am so pleased with the attention to detail and the third part contractor they suggested for the project. I see more projects together in the future!"
Al Phil, Cambridge ON
"Where do I even begin! From the first meeting to the delivery of my kitchen, I was in love with Swede and the streamlined process they have created. Renovating a kitchen was always something I wanted to do and they made it so stress free and enjoyable. If you are someone who values design and efficiency then Swede is for you!
We could not have had a better experience and outcome! Plus you will not find a better price for custom bespoke cabinets!"
J Pulsifer, Burnaby BC
"Renovations are hard, Swede makes designing, ordering and installing the dream cabinets, counters and hardware so much easier! So happy to be enjoying our Swede kitchen."

"My wife and I chose Swede after an initial consultation with the owner and an on-site visit that confirmed they "saw" what we saw in the potential for our newly purchased, but very dated house. From the start we had positive experiences throughout, the design consult was thorough and included multiple re-renderings as we discussed the finer details and impact of various choices. The project - as with all projects - was not without missteps. I changed the opening dimensions for an exterior door from 5' to 6' and almost upended the whole project when the installers caught the change and realized it's impact on the cabinet design requirements - Swede handled this bump in the road with incredible grace and quickly helped pivot the design to meet tight timelines for other trades. Our project went so well, we agreed to allow photos from the job to be featured on their site so as you scroll through their portfolio, know that at least one of those houses is represented by 2 very happy homeowners and customers!
For prospective Swede customers, I'd offer this advice; they work as a design firm, coordinating with your millwork, countertops and installation teams. This does not mean you're off the hook. For your project to go smoothly I strongly encourage you to be emotionally invested in the project. Sit with the designs, imagine the space, imagine yourself in it and provide feedback accordingly. Ultimately, it's your house, you will know it best and will know where the light falls at a time of day or how you like to work when in the space (how much counter space do you need to prep a meal or to plate it? Do you want a dedicated space for the coffee machine or other commonly used appliances, etc.)"

"I had a bit of a tight timeline and Lorne worked to connect me with a designer and get the process going in a way that allowed me to meet my deadlines. He advocated for me and understood my needs for the project. Would definitely recommend."

"We went with Swede for the renovation of our 1960s kitchen. Living in rural Canada our options for cabinet makers were limited. Our kitchen was designed by an independently hired architect, so their design services were not really needed for our project. We chose half shinnoki wood and half painted cabinets, and the finishes are beautiful. I love our new kitchen. I would have preferred to go with laminated cabinets vs painted for better durability, however the colour options were quite limited (when compared to other companies we looked at online). Also there were certain cabinet designs that could not be accommodated by Swede (pocketing doors on an appliance garage for example), so this created additional work for our contractor who had to modify these boxes. Ultimately we love our kitchen, and we are very fortunate that Swede was able to provide it on an expedited timeline."

"Earlier this year we completed a full kitchen and front entryway renovation through Swede and we were very impressed with the ease of their process and the quality of the product. When we reached out to Swede through their website we did not have a designer or a local contractor, they quickly assigned a designer to our project and she was able to recommend excellent contractors. Xenia Rose, our designer, really went above and beyond to ensure our kitchen was both functional and fit with the vibe of the rest of our small, mid-century home. We appreciated the well-edited choices on the Swede website for cabinetry, counters and more. Having gone through renovations before, we knew that it was easy to get overwhelmed with design choices. We were also impressed at how quickly our project moved and that there were no significant delays, in fact the cabinetry was ready earlier than expected. Bre, Sarah, Xenia and the rest of the Swede staff on our project were professional, friendly and super responsive. Our renovations maintained the original footprints of our kitchen and entryway so we are so happy we went with a custom cabinetry, we were able to really maximize our space and it looks gorgeous. We highly recommend Swede!"

"Super easy design and manufacture process. Came full made, just needed to get it professionally installed. Was really happy how clean it looked. Very easy process."

"We were beyond happy with our Swede experience. The team were so helpful guiding us through the process and making it simple. The quality is super high - even our installer who works for a local cabinet company mentioned that they didn’t cut any corners. Measurements were perfect. We are so so happy with the final result and thank Kyla, Lorne, and Sarah for taking such good care of us. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay on budget, on schedule, and remove the complexity."

Like the process and working with Jenny, our designer, was a great experience. We had some minor cabinet issues, but they were dealt with and resolved, and the end result looks fantastic. While we wrap up the final touches on our project, we couldn’t be happier.

"My husband and I are absolutely in love with our Swede kitchen! As first-time homeowners (based in Toronto), we were quite apprehensive about making decisions for our home. We did thorough online research to find kitchen renovation services that were affordable and aligned with our style and vision. That's when we came across Swede. We first connected with Alex, a friendly Swedish Advisor, who patiently addressed all our inquiries and made the initial call less daunting. With Swede's impressive portfolio and exceptional customer service, we knew they were the right choice for our home and kitchen renovation.
Christine, our interior designer, has been incredibly helpful throughout the process. Like with most home renovations, we encountered some obstacles, but Christine's expertise and unwavering support helped us overcome them. Her dedication and knowledge made a significant difference in the success of our project.
We are thrilled with our kitchen and highly recommend Swede for their outstanding services!"

"We designed and built a kitchen and butler's pantry for our open-concept tiny home, so design and space usage were key elements. Working with the team from Swede on this project was an absolute joy and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our kitchen is absolutely stunning."
M&K Wilcox, Interior BC
"As proud homeowners of a newly built house in interior BC, we enjoyed working with Swede Kitchens for our millwork package. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional, and the results are nothing short of stunning, creating our Scandi dream here in Canada.
Swede Kitchens impressed us from the very beginning. Collaborating with their interior designer, who helped create a visual rendering of our kitchen, greatly assisted us in the decision-making process. Our designer was attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to understand our vision, needs, and lifestyle, translating them into a detailed plan that maximized both functionality and aesthetics.
The quality of the millwork provided by Swede Kitchens is outstanding. Each piece is crafted with care, using high-quality materials that look beautiful and promise durability. We implemented panel-ready appliances and wood veneer door front, and we are thrilled with our investment.
What truly sets Swede Kitchens apart is their communication. Using a platform that had everything in one place helped keep everything organized. Communication was quick with this platform, with regular updates on progress and timelines from our Swede millwork specialist.
Our experience with Swede Kitchens has been nothing short of fantastic. They have transformed our new build project into our forever home. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Swede Kitchens to anyone needing high-quality cabinetry for their home."
