The secret ingredient to a permanently organised kitchen
Imagine opening your larder and always finding what you're looking for. Make this dream a reality with our smart solutions – from shelves and pull-out boxes, to drawers that come out completely so you can see everything inside, to KORALLVIPPA airtight containers that preserve flavour and make your food last longer. What more could you ask for?
Solve the mystery of expired food
It's happened to all of us – there are three open containers with who knows what inside and stinking sauces that seem to say "I wouldn't if I were you". But don't worry, it can be easily sorted:
-Create an "eat me now" area with food you have to eat first and pencil in a day for having leftovers as picky bits, where you'll eat everything you have open. And don't forget to make a shopping list after checking what you have in, not before.
-Top tip: store herbs like flowers (glass + water) and use a marker to write what it is and when it was opened. Result: less expired food and more money saved. That's a win-win-win.

With the right kitchen, cooking with others is a piece of cake
With a big peninsula and clear surfaces, everyone has their own space without getting in each other's way. Wall storage frees up your countertop and keeps everything within reach, with solutions like magnetic knife racks and hooks for tea towels. Want to save time? Cook in glass containers, let them cool, put a lid on them, store them and they are ready to go.
The all-rounder of the storage world
This peninsula makes the most of every inch of your kitchen to make your day-to-day life that bit easier. It has a deep drawer for tins and moulds, a pull-out work surface for small appliances and integrated recycling with a lid, which is well organised and tucked away out of sight. What's more, with one or two stools, it becomes the perfect spot to snack, study or have a coffee. Practical, cosy and designed for everyday life.
Modern appliances with a classic look
The STENABY oven and microwave offer basic functions and modern convenience for day-to-day life, and are totally reliable.

Storage that puts on a show
Turn METOD cabinets into a glass-door showpiece with off-white BODBYN fronts. With glass shelves and integrated lighting, it shows off your favourite dinnerware without it collecting dust, adds warmth and makes it easier to find what you're looking for. The warm and soft LED lights create a mellow vibe, perfect for having a bite in the evening or a hot drink in the morning. And for organising smaller bits, add drawers underneath. Your kitchen, your rules.
IKEA hack: build your own kitchen bench with hidden storage
Every home needs a cosy corner. Here, METOD cabinets have become a comfy bench topped with soft cushions in playful colours and patterns – 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.
