A Smart and Colorful ENHET Kitchen Setup at IKEA – With Clever Storage Ideas

If you're planning a compact kitchen renovation or simply looking for budget-friendly inspiration, this ENHET kitchen from IKEA delivers both function and style. Captured at the IKEA store in Warsaw, Poland, the setup blends ENHET white base units with open red shelving, a glossy white finish, and practical storage everywhere you look.

IKEA ENHET + EKBACKEN: A Balanced Duo

This kitchen features EKBACKEN countertops in a wood-effect laminate that adds warmth and contrast to the clean, white cabinetry. The ENHET cabinet fronts shown here are finished in Gloss White (NCS S 0602-G92Y, Gloss 6) – a soft white with a slightly warm undertone that complements both natural and bold accent colors.

Here you will find all the IKEA kitchens we have filmed.

Red Open Shelves Add Visual Interest

Instead of upper cabinets, the kitchen uses ENHET open frames in red to showcase glassware, dishes, and cookbooks. This layout keeps the upper part of the kitchen feeling light and open, while the red color adds a playful, modern accent.

Practical Storage Solutions in Every Corner

The kitchen is packed with smart IKEA organization ideas:

• Pull-out bins under the island: Ideal for dry goods, lunch boxes, or kitchen towels

• Plastic containers and baskets in base cabinets: Help sort pots, lids, and pantry items

• A red NISSAFORS cart tucked under the island**: Adds rolling storage for baking tools and small appliances

• Door-mounted storage trays: Save space near the sink area

These storage elements are not just functional – they're easily replaceable, customizable, and great for small-space living.

Designed for Everyday Use and Flexibility

From the foldable barstool to the placement of lighting above the island, everything in this ENHET kitchen is tailored for everyday cooking and baking. The layout supports efficient work zones, and most units are easy to move, reconfigure, or replace if needed.

Final Thoughts

This IKEA ENHET kitchen showcases just how much style and storage you can fit into a relatively small space. With a bold color palette, smart accessories, and flexible components, it's a perfect example of how IKEA blends Scandinavian practicality with real-world functionality.
