Welcome to Kitchens by Rannes

Greetings,

I’m Lars Rannes, the owner of a small business based in Ottawa specializing in Ikea kitchen installations. My commitment lies in delivering top-notch craftsmanship at a fair price.

Originally from Denmark, I relocated to Canada from Switzerland in 2013 and embraced the country as my home. In 2018, I proudly became a Canadian citizen.

While my background is in mechanical engineering, with over 25 years of experience in various engineering roles, I decided to follow my passion. In 2018, I shifted gears to focus on Ikea kitchen installations in Ottawa. Though I still develop independent products, my primary focus is kitchen installations. With over 30 years of experience in home renovation as a ballast, I’ve successfully installed more than 240 kitchens to date.

I find immense joy in what I do and firmly believe that combining my enthusiasm with years of experience yields impeccable results.

If you’re considering installing your own Ikea kitchen, I encourage you to explore the articles on this website and watch my tutorial videos on YouTube. Contrary to common belief, it’s a manageable task, and with my comprehensive tutorial videos, success is within your reach.

Best regards,
Lars Rannes
