IKEA has officially begun phasing out the beloved MALM series, replacing it with a new and safer alternative: STORKLINTA. But what exactly is different between these two lines of bedroom furniture? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering a switch or just curious about the change.
IKEA BODBYN Dark Green Kitchen Inspiration

Step into a kitchen that radiates both elegance and functionality. The BODBYN Dark Green kitchen from IKEA is a true design classic with its rich tones and thoughtful details. Even though this specific color is no longer part of IKEA's current range, it continues to inspire beautiful interiors around the world.
Filmed by Mauritz Interior & Design at IKEA Sofia, Bulgaria, this kitchen serves as a perfect example of how tradition and modern living can blend harmoniously.

🌿 A Deep Green That Tells a Story
BODBYN's dark green tone adds warmth, depth, and a timeless appeal to any kitchen. The rich color works effortlessly in both classic and contemporary spaces, offering a sense of calm and grounded sophistication.
While IKEA has discontinued this particular finish, the magic isn't lost. The original NCS color code S 8010-G10Y Gloss 25 can still be used to replicate the exact shade. Just remember that paint tones might vary slightly between brands, even with the same code.

✨ Elegant Details That Make a Difference
The kitchen is fitted with ENERYDA handles in polished brass, which beautifully complement the dark green cabinets. These classic handles give the space a luxurious, vintage-inspired touch and enhance the traditional framed look of the BODBYN doors.

Glass-paneled upper cabinets create a sense of openness and allow for stylish display of dishes and glassware. Behind the doors, adjustable glass shelves offer flexibility and elegance.

🧺 Smart Storage for Everyday Ease
Inside the cabinets, the clever storage solutions make this kitchen not just beautiful, but incredibly functional. Wire pull-out baskets help you easily access heavy trays and pots, while deep drawers keep everything organized and within reach.
One highlight is the slim pull-out cabinet next to the oven. It's perfect for bottles, cutting boards, or jars and ensures that every inch of space is put to good use. This kind of thoughtful layout shows that design and practicality can go hand in hand.

🔥 A Light Countertop with Bold Contrast
The SÄLJAN countertop in a light, stone-like finish offers a perfect contrast to the dark cabinetry. It keeps the kitchen from feeling too heavy and adds a soft, modern brightness.
Paired with the matte black MATTRADITION oven and induction cooktop, the whole ensemble comes together with a sleek, balanced look that fits today's lifestyles.

💡 Recreate the Look in Your Own Home
Even though the BODBYN dark green color is no longer sold at IKEA, you can still create this stylish look in your own kitchen.
Use the NCS color code S 8010-G10Y Gloss 25 to repaint cabinets or order custom doors.
Combine it with ENERYDA handles for an authentic finish.
Choose a light countertop like SÄLJAN and match with black appliances for contrast and harmony. (Just remember that paint tones might vary slightly between brands, even with the same code.)
