Welcome to a fresh take on Scandinavian kitchen design, a space where clean lines meet clever function. Filmed by Mauritz Interior & Design at IKEA Sofia, Bulgaria, this beautifully styled kitchen brings together the ASKERSUND light ash effect cabinets and sleek VEDDINGE white fronts for a look that's timeless, practical, and effortlessly elegant.
Let's dive into the details that make this IKEA kitchen setup a real gem for modern homes.
The base cabinets in this kitchen feature the ASKERSUND light ash effect finish, adding a natural wood look that brings warmth and texture into the space. The horizontal wood grain adds visual interest while maintaining a clean and cohesive vibe. It's perfect for those who want a minimalistic yet welcoming kitchen.
Paired with the base cabinets are the matte white VEDDINGE fronts, part of IKEA's METOD kitchen series. These handleless upper cabinets offer a modern, flat surface that keeps the look minimal and sophisticated. With a gloss level of 40 and NCS color code S 0502-Y05R, the finish adds a soft sheen that reflects just the right amount of light — ideal for keeping small kitchens bright and airy.
The LILLTRÄSK countertop in crisp white is the perfect partner for both the ash cabinets and white uppers. It creates a continuous, sleek surface that feels both durable and stylish. Whether you're prepping dinner or hosting friends, this countertop holds up — and looks great doing it.
To add a hint of contrast, IKEA's BAGGANÄS black handles were chosen for the drawers. These slim, minimal handles are striking against the ash drawers and offer just the right amount of edge without overpowering the design. A subtle but effective touch for those who appreciate the little details.
The kitchen also features the VATTUDALEN stainless steel sink and ÄLMAREN faucet in a brushed steel finish. This combo not only looks professional but is also highly functional, with deep bowls and a pull-out spout to make everyday tasks easier.
Every inch of this kitchen is thoughtfully utilized. From the neatly organized upper cabinets with stacked dishware and glasses, to the clever slide-out drawer beside the oven storing bottles vertically — this kitchen proves that smart storage can still look stunning.
The geometric backsplash tiles give the space a playful personality without being too busy. Paired with soft under-cabinet lighting and some faux greenery, the kitchen feels inviting and lived-in, yet polished enough to impress.
This IKEA kitchen setup is perfect for:
Small to medium-sized spaces
Lovers of Scandinavian and minimal design
Anyone looking for a balance between aesthetics and affordability
Home cooks who value functionality and easy-clean surfaces
Whether you're remodeling your entire kitchen or simply hunting for inspiration, the combination of ASKERSUND and VEDDINGE, paired with smart IKEA accessories, is a foolproof formula.
This kitchen proves that you don't need a massive space or budget to create something beautiful and functional. IKEA continues to deliver designs that are both stylish and smart — and this layout, filmed by Mauritz Interior & Design at IKEA Sofia, is a prime example of just that.
