In the heart of a beautifully designed kitchen lies a perfect balance of tradition and modernity, and the IKEA BODBYN kitchen achieves just that. Recently filmed in an IKEA store, this kitchen setup captures the essence of Scandinavian elegance and functional design.
The BODBYN cabinet fronts in off-white set the tone for a classic yet versatile kitchen space. Their raised panel design, combined with a soft off-white hue, creates a cozy yet bright atmosphere, ideal for both traditional and contemporary homes. These fronts are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and easy to maintain, making them perfect for busy households.
This timeless IKEA kitchen features BODBYN off-white fronts, marble-effect countertops, and classic chevron flooring, creating a warm and elegant space with a hint of traditional charm. The accessories elevate the design and add a touch of personality:
The ARV BRÖLLOP cake stand with lid in clear glass brings a refined touch to the island, perfect for displaying baked goods or fruit.
Two ROMANTISK trays in white, styled with floral arrangements, add a soft, welcoming feel to the space.
The VATTENKRASSE plant mister in ivory and gold adds a delicate accent to the countertop, blending beauty with function.
The ORDNING bread bin in stainless steel is a practical classic, combining functionality with timeless style.
The KVITTERA serving stand in three tiers, clear glass and stainless steel, offers a sophisticated way to serve pastries or snacks.
Two ANKARSPEL wall lamps in a pewter effect frame the kitchen beautifully, providing warm, focused lighting over the workspace.
The HÅRMÖJA chandelier, a 6-armed fixture in brushed stainless steel, adds elegance and a hint of traditional grandeur above the dining area.
The METALLISK kettle in stainless steel, ready for daily use, adds a professional touch to the stovetop.
The PLOGFÅRA storage box with lid in light beige helps keep the space tidy and organized.
The LUFTTÄT 3-piece bar set in stainless steel and wood creates a small, elegant drinks station – a subtle nod to entertaining.
These thoughtful accessories show how a few key details can transform a kitchen into a beautiful, practical, and inviting space.
Complementing the BODBYN cabinetry is the EKBACKEN countertop. Its subtle, natural finish brings warmth to the space, harmonizing beautifully with the off-white cabinets. The countertop's smooth surface and durability make it a practical choice for cooking enthusiasts and families alike.
Adding a bold contrast to the light cabinetry and worktop, the walls are painted in a deep, moody blue. This dark shade adds depth and sophistication to the space while making the lighter elements stand out even more. The combination of off-white, wood tones, and dark blue creates a balanced, visually stunning kitchen.
A standout feature of this kitchen is the spacious kitchen island. It serves as both a functional workspace and a social hub. Whether used for meal prep, casual dining, or entertaining guests, the island enhances the kitchen's usability and style. The BODBYN fronts continue on the island, ensuring design continuity throughout the space.
Filmed in an IKEA store, this setup demonstrates how effortlessly the BODBYN kitchen can be styled to fit various home aesthetics. With thoughtful design choices like the EKBACKEN countertop and the bold dark blue walls, this kitchen proves that practicality and beauty can go hand in hand.
