A Beautiful IKEA BODARP and VALLSTENA Kitchen for Small Spaces

03.05.2025

Inside an IKEA store, this compact kitchen setup featuring the BODARP and VALLSTENA series caught the eye with its stylish yet practical design. The combination of soft gray-green BODARP fronts (color code NCS S 6005-G20Y) and light VALLSTENA white fronts (color code NCS S 0602-G92Y) creates a balanced and modern look that fits perfectly in a small apartment or studio kitchen.

The countertop is the LILLTRÄSK series, a clean, simple surface that enhances the light and airy feeling of the space. The LAGAN cooktop adds a functional touch for everyday cooking, while the FYNDIG sink and LAGAN kitchen faucet provide an affordable, streamlined solution for the water area.

What really stands out here is the clever use of the NISSAFORS utility cart tucked into the lower section. It offers flexible, budget-friendly extra storage without the need for built-in cabinetry, making it a smart addition for anyone working with limited space.

Mauritz filmed this kitchen setup inside an IKEA store, capturing the thoughtful layout and product choices that show how even a small space can be transformed into a beautiful and highly functional kitchen. With the right combinations and a few smart accessories, IKEA once again proves that great design doesn't have to come with a large footprint.

When you step inside IKEA's wardrobe displays, one thing becomes clear: the PAX system is designed to give you structure and order. As you can see in this example, every shelf, drawer and rail has its place – making it easy to imagine how it would look in your own home.

When it comes to modern kitchen design, balance is everything. Clean lines, functional storage, and clever material choices all play their part. This IKEA HAVSTORP kitchen, photographed by Mauritz in Berlin, Germany, is a perfect example of how simplicity can meet warmth to create a space that feels both sleek and inviting.
