Make it yours

This warm, welcoming kitchen is up for anything, from weeknight family dinners and friendly get-togethers to spontaneous drop-ins. With tall, glass-fronted cupboards and a generous island with storage on both sides, there's plenty of space for prepping, cooking and even games and craft supplies for rainy days indoors.

Blue shaker-style LERHYTTAN kitchen fronts with solid wood frames, gently bevelled edges and inset veneer and glass panels add a bright, uplifting, cottagecore feel. Behind them, sturdy, flexible METOD kitchen cupboards and units, and a few bespoke details, create a kitchen that meets all your needs and reflects your style.

The island features SEKTION cabinets and soft-closing MAXIMERA drawers, finished with traditional style ENERYDA handles that perfectly complement the kitchen’s classic style.

Tools and tips for the job

  • Before you commit to a new kitchen, make a list of all the things you would like to add, replace and take away. Think about how you use and move around your kitchen, and the things you'd most like to change.
     
  • Creating the kitchen of your dreams doesn't have to be daunting. The IKEA 3D kitchen planner is an online tool that allows you to try out ideas and layouts quickly and with ease.
     
  • A custom kitchen allows you to mix and match doors, legs, plinths and even handles seamlessly, for a kitchen that's totally you.
     
  • If the thought of designing a new kitchen still feels overwhelming, why not book an appointment with an IKEA kitchen specialist for expert advice and inspiration?

Creating a scene

Favourite glasses and dinnerware are proudly displayed in glass-fronted LERHYTTAN cabinets. Conveniently positioned close to the dining table, it’s easy for guests to help out with setting the table, without having to rummage through cupboards.

Just add spice

A dash of salt, and a sprinkle of spice makes everything taste nice. A spice drawer next to the hob allows you to grab and season as you cook. Clear jars, all neatly stacked in rows makes it easy to identify herbs and spices at a glance. Why not label them too, so you don't mistake your cayenne pepper for cinnamon?

Pans close to hand

Too many pots and pans? A hanging rail just above the hob filled with your favourite saucepans makes them easy to grab when you're in your culinary zone. They make quite a nice decorative feature too!

Oversized pots can hog cupboards, and why can you never find the right lid when you need it? The UTRUSTA corner base cabinet carousel brings order to corners. With two height-adjustable trays that rotate to reveal its contents, you can easily see and reach everything.

Set the mood

Layers of focused lighting provides the right amount of light where you need it. Track and spotlights over countertops offer dedicated task lighting for prepping, cooking and washing up.

Dimmable, low-hanging pendant lamps over tables and islands allow you to turn the lights down low for cosy meals for two or get-togethers that go on until the early hours. Finally, few things feel fancier than dinner by candlelight, so why not add a few candlesticks on the table?

Tread softly

Rugs not only give a soft, cosy feel in the home, they also help absorb sound as voices get louder. Go for practical rugs, such as LOHALS in jute, with its natural colour variations that make it easy to match, or the beautifully geometric STOCKHOLM rug, which is reversible – ideal for when spills and stains occur.

Flatwoven rugs are easy to vacuum, making them ideal for under the table where crumbs collect.

Activity island

This island unit does it all. Creating a subtle division between the kitchen and dining area, it also multitasks as a prepping/serving area and a storage titan. On the kitchen side, there's plenty of space for appliances and kitchen gadgets, while dining room side is dedicated to everyday essentials and rainy day activities. With so many drawers, everything has its own special place.

A hardworking pantry

A walk-in pantry is every kitchen lovers dream! Store dry foods, pickles, bottles, even fresh fruit and vegetables alongside appliances and recycling bins. With the flexible combinations of the IVAR system, you can add drawers, shelves and racks, so there's a place for everything.
