With the help of Maximilian, our product development team created shelves, grids and rails that you either mount directly to the wall or on special suspension rails where you easily complete and move things around without having to drill new holes in the wall. The rails have room for hooks meant for all the utensils, and also room for the special shelf where you can place a tablet with the dinner recipe at eye's level.

knife rackAnonymous reviewerA very simple magnetic knife rack that keeps knives handy and safe.
Perfect for storing sharp knivesAnonymous reviewerI use these inside my kitchen cupboard doors to keep sharp knives and scissors accessible but out of sight. This saves space on my worktop.
Magnetic knife rackAnonymous reviewerBrilliant and simple product works well good design
Does what it says on the tinAnonymous reviewerPractical, useful and it works!
Robust and easy to installAnonymous reviewerThis is an excellent magnetic strip that has many uses. It's of generous length and has very strong magnetic pull, easy to install and it looks like it will last. I used to have an early design of this product that had solid metal spacers but the spacers have been changed to plastic ones, which I think is a bit of a shame.
Poor instructionsAnonymous reviewerIt would have helped if the instructions had made it clear that they are two ways of fixing this to the wall depending on where you are installing it. Once figured out and up it seems to do the job. I had the smaller black one before which was a doddle to fit. However it is a magnetic knife rack and so far is holding my knives securely
very usefulAnonymous reviewerGreat way to store extremely sharp knives like the ikea 365+ set of 5 and can be used to hold notes too or your recipe.
Much better and safer than othersAnonymous reviewerHad these in my old house. Needed some for my new place and bought them on Amazon for the same price. The Amazon product's magnets were weak and consequently dangerous as knives could fall off, so I returned them and bought these Ikea ones again instead. The magnets are much stronger and hold heavier items. They are easier to fit too. These are probably the best ones you can buy, so don't go elsewhere!
I really like it it'sAnonymous reviewerI really like it it's very useful
Magnetic knife blockAnonymous reviewerI have 9 items on it including a heavy scissors, pizza cutter and potato peeler. Looks great and works really well.

Story
Smart storage provides flow in the kitchen
You've also probably experienced this: coming home tired after a long day, knowing that both you and the rest of the family need food as soon as possible. But there are tricks that help make cooking easier. With our wall-mounted kitchen storage series KUNGSFORS, utensils, spices and recipes have their given places on the wall instead of being spread out on the kitchen worktop. With a bit of pioneering we managed to make the wall brackets nicely hidden, too.
When starting to work with KUNGSFORS, we turned to chef and cookbook writer Maximilian Lundin for inspiration. "There are a lot of practical things to be learned from a restaurant kitchen,” says Maximilian. “Like having utensils and ingredients easily accessible so that you have a good flow when cooking, and have plenty of space on the kitchen worktop."
Furnish the kitchen wall
Simplifies cooking
The series is made up of many different products and the project required both time and patience from all involved. The team engineer David Zeberg looks back on the work. "One of the challenges was to make the wall brackets of the rails hidden. But I love projects where we do something pioneering and have to test boundaries before finding the solution." For the chef Maximillian, who is passionate about good food, it was a whole new experience to be involved in influencing people's kitchens ─ the environment where food is cooked. "The positive thing was that everyone in the team was so ambitious about ensuring that KUNGSFORS would help to simplify cooking", says Maximillian.
Material
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing things – without losing its valuable properties.
Function solution
More space and better flow in the kitchen
When spoons, spices and recipes have their given and visible place on the wall, you get more space and better flow when you cook. With the KUNGSFORS series, it's easy to create a personal combination and store everything so that items are easily accessible and you get a good overview in the kitchen, just like professional cooks. Place the pans on open shelves, the knives on magnet racks and utensils on hooks. Then you have everything close at hand and lots of space to work!

Designer thoughts
The most important thing when I designed the KUNGSFORS series was for it to spread the joy of cooking. The series helps you to have kitchen utensils, spices and ingredients visible, which I think makes the kitchen look nice ‒ while it encourages the appetite and desire to cook. I also wanted it to help make it simpler to keep things in order and make cooking easier. The parts can be combined in any way, so they fit both large and small kitchens ‒ and people's different needs.
