Imbued with style, light and functionality

Every detail of this kitchen adds to the modern and cosy style. The light grey, minimalist and light ASPUDDEN fronts capture the light and add depth, while the STJÄRNHOV chrome drawers soften corners and curves. The decorative side panels make it seem more spacious without compromising on style, and the LED lighting on the countertop, drawers and side panel make cooking easier while adding a surprising visual effect.

Kitchen secrets for families in a rush

Working around everyone's different schedules but wanting a hassle-free homemade meal? It's all about organisation. Use UTRUSTA pull-out larders, transparent containers and open trays to see everything at a glance. Set aside 10 minutes a week for reorganising and arranging what you already have, and without realising it you'll save time and money, and reduce food waste.

Shop, store, recycle, repeat

Bulk buying saves time and money, but you need good storage solutions. OMAR shelves turn every corner into a larder and make it easy to apply the First In First Out (FIFO) philosophy – oldest products at the front, newest products at the back). To recycle or sort your waste, SORTERA bins are hard-wearing, have foldable lids, and are easy to use. Once you start organising and sorting your waste, you'll soon see it's hard to stop.

The best thing about coming home

When you've had a jam-packed day, there's nothing like going back to a cosy home. The TONSTAD extendible table becomes the place where all the family come together, from four seats for day-to-day life to six seats when the table is extended. Did you know this IKEA hack? METOD cabinets can be used as a bench by the window. Just add fluffy cushions and enjoy!

IKEA hack: build your own kitchen bench with hidden storage

The METOD kitchen cabinets have become a bench topped with cushions – perfect for reading, playing a board game or a quick nap (you deserve it!) The drawers below keep tablecloths within handy reach, and you can claim one for your craft materials, too. Use the same style front as in the kitchen to extend the traditional look into your dining area.

Stays splash-free, even when the teenagers do the washing up

The MAJSJÖN kitchen tap makes washing up so much easier. Its pull-out spout moves in all directions and offers all kinds of stream, so you can rinse vegetables, fill pots and wash dishes without getting the countertop dirty. What's more, its industrial finish takes your kitchen style to a whole other level.
