Survival kit for your first kitchen

Becoming independent shouldn't mean surviving on boiled rice. It doesn't matter if you're a whiz in the kitchen or if you still call your grandmother to find out how long pasta takes to cook: with just the right things and good choices, a tiny space can become a kitchen with functionality without breaking the bank. At IKEA, we make it easy for you. Keep reading!

Freestanding ÄSPINGE kitchenette in black/ash in green student housing.

A flat package in the morning, a feast in the evening

Your student apartment may not be very big, but that won't stop you from cooking for an army. Despite its compact size, the ÄSPINGE kitchenette offers versatile open and closed storage for food and your favorite mugs. It's also freestanding and easy to install, so you can have it delivered in the morning and cook your favorite meal that same evening.

Let us introduce you to your assistant.

When you start college, you have to remember lots of things, like what to put in your stew and how to avoid having your beans burn. Don't worry: help is on the walkway. The new VIGGBO wall-mounted extractor hood removes smoke and also serves as a shelf for herbs, spices, and even your phone, if you place it at the right angle. Need help? With the sturdy, height-adjustable HAVREHOJ tablet holder, you can easily call your grandmother while you chop vegetables, sauté, and season.

A gourmet menu at an affordable price

In a shared college kitchen, keeping your things separate from everyone else's isn't so easy, unless you get OFTAST tableware, which is microwave and dishwasher safe. It's now available in light green, a color that stands out at a glance. What's more, it's made of tempered glass, but looks like Chinese porcelain (except for the price, of course). Complete the look with a decorative ZEBRASÄV plastic ceiling lamp. Hang it above the table to create scene and make every meal more special, even if it's just another plate of noodles.

The survival kit for stressful times

With the hustle and bustle of university life, it can be difficult to find time to cook. But don't worry, because the GÅTEBO microwave oven and air fryer helps you prepare delicious meals in minutes. What's more, it's freestanding and ideal for small spaces. Not sure what to do with leftovers? Store them in the PRUTA food container and you've got your meal to go. An ISKUB soda and a package of cashews will also give you that much-needed energy boost for studying, day or night.
