VOXTORP White – Sleek and Minimalist

The VOXTORP white cabinet fronts bring a clean and modern look to any kitchen. With their smooth, handle-free design, these cabinets create a seamless appearance that enhances the sense of space and brightness. 

UPPLÖV Matte Anthracite – Bold and Sophisticated

For a striking contrast, the UPPLÖV matte anthracite cabinet fronts add depth and character. The dark tone pairs beautifully with white elements, offering a bold yet balanced aesthetic. UPPLÖV's integrated handles provide a modern touch while keeping the design streamlined and sophisticated.

HEJSTA Glass Doors – A Touch of Elegance

To introduce variety and visual interest, HEJSTA anthracite reeded glass doors work perfectly as accent pieces. This kitchen is equipped with HEJSTA anthracite reeded glass, which is available in two variants: clear and reeded. Whether used for upper cabinets or a display section, these doors add a refined touch by showcasing dishware and decorative elements while maintaining an airy feel.

An L-shaped kitchen is a timeless and efficient design that maximizes corner space while promoting a natural workflow. This layout allows for:

  • Better Organization: Clear zones for cooking, prepping, and storage.

  • Enhanced Accessibility: Everything is within reach without feeling cramped.

  • Versatile Styling: Works well in both open-plan and enclosed spaces.

Finding smart storage solutions is often a challenge, especially in smaller homes or apartments where every square meter counts. One of the most overlooked spaces is under the staircase, a tricky corner that can either collect dust or be transformed into a highly functional storage area.
