Deep Green IKEA Kitchen Design Ideas, FRÖJERED & HAVSTORP

Mauritz filmed this beautiful IKEA kitchen, capturing the cozy and contemporary blend of FRÖJERED and HAVSTORP in a striking Deep Green finish. With clean lines, natural textures, and smart use of space, this setup offers both style and practicality, a true example of IKEA's functional design philosophy.

First Impressions: Natural Meets Bold
The kitchen makes an immediate impact with the bold Deep Green HAVSTORP drawer fronts below the countertop, paired with the natural bamboo FRÖJERED upper cabinets. This combination strikes a perfect balance — the green brings depth and moodiness, while the bamboo adds lightness and warmth.

A neutral stone-look backsplash and worktop keep the composition grounded and fresh, making it easy to pair with different accents and kitchen tools.

Smart, Stylish Details
In the first photo, you notice how the long countertop and under-cabinet lighting create a clean, uninterrupted workspace. The green lower cabinets have soft, rounded wooden knobs — simple but characterful — while the bamboo wall cabinets feature integrated grooves instead of handles, maintaining a minimal aesthetic.
Decorative elements like a mix of baskets, a clock with embroidery hoop vibes, and a green-striped rug on the floor soften the space and make it feel homey and personal.

Functional Highlights
A few key features stand out:
-
Integrated oven and stovetop placed centrally for efficient cooking flow.
-
Deep drawers for easy access to pots and pans — perfect for hiding away clutter.
-
Wall-mounted storage systems (railings, hooks, spice racks) that maximize vertical space.
-
A double sink with a clean, flush finish and practical faucet positioning.
-
A compact kitchen island/table with extra shelving and a drawer, making it ideal for small-space living.
And yes — those fake vegetables and red mittens? Classic IKEA showroom charm.
