after a very exhausting ikea hack to customize arlo’s play kitchen, i probably wouldn’t ever do that again! it’s held up great and he still plays with it after all this time, but man it took me a while. i feel like there has been a blowup of cute modern play kitchens in the past couple years so i wanted to round up my favorites in case you’re not interested in DIYing!

pretty play kitchens

i love this minimal kitchen — so clean and simple! ($320)

i meannn, the little curtain?! i love the legs on this one and it comes with play food and accessories! and so cheap! ($90)

i love this one a lot, it’s pretty and has a nice small footprint, definitely not cheap but cheaper than some others on here ($399) 

this oak wood one is so chic AND it comes with so many cute accessories! it also comes with a pull-down faucet, ice maker and clicking oven knobs. so fun!! it is a little on the smaller side but it’s also pretty inexpensive so that’s a plus ($139)

milton & goose definitely makes some of the prettiest play kitchens ever– but they’re expensive! ($799)

this one actually comes with pots and pans and utensils ($166)

everything lalo makes is beautiful and their play kitchen is no exception. it comes in this sage color, white and natural and you can also buy pretty play accessories from them ($395)

you may not expect it but this is probably the one i would buy– in terms of design and price and if you weren’t a fan of the blue you could just paint it! ($159)

not my favorite on the list, but it’s so inexpensive (and well reviewed) and i think it has a lot of potential! the countertop is really nice as is, but i would probably paint the cabinets before assembling so you could cover up that giant logo ($89)

ps. i have more play kitchens on my amazon storefront and am always adding as i find them!
