Step into a space where traditional charm meets modern function — the IKEA BODBYN dark green kitchen. Whether you're dreaming of a kitchen transformation or simply love browsing beautifully styled interiors, this stunning setup offers plenty of inspiration. Captured by Mauritz at IKEA Sofia, Bulgaria, this kitchen tour showcases thoughtful details, clever storage, and timeless design in a deep green that exudes warmth and sophistication.
Note: The BODBYN dark green color has been discontinued by IKEA, but its classic look and smart solutions still offer plenty of inspiration for your own custom kitchen.
Two different countertops create visual contrast and define the zones within the kitchen. On the island, the EKBACKEN countertop mimics white marble with a fresh and bright surface that's ideal for socializing or prepping food. On the main kitchen section, the SÄLJAN countertop provides a warm, textured stone effect, grounding the space and complementing the green cabinetry.
Details matter — and the ENERYDA handles and knobs in chrome add just the right amount of vintage flair. They perfectly balance the traditional frame of the BODBYN cabinets while bringing a polished, modern edge.
It's not just about looks — functionality is where this kitchen really shines. Just take a look at some of the clever storage ideas:
Pull-out wire baskets hidden behind cabinet doors make pantry essentials like jars easy to access and organize.
A narrow pull-out rack stores glass bottles upright and securely — perfect for oils, vinegar, or even sparkling water.
Deep drawers with wooden inner compartments keep pots, pans, and utensils organized and within reach.
Cutlery drawers are neatly divided for gold-toned flatware, bringing a hint of luxury to everyday dining.
These small details add up to a kitchen that's as practical as it is beautiful.
With hanging pendant lights, natural wood barstools, and floral accents on the island, the space feels like a welcoming heart of the home. The soft lighting and layered textures (including a rug and greenery) soften the bold cabinetry and create a space you'll want to linger in.
Even though the BODBYN dark green kitchen has been discontinued by IKEA, you can still bring the same beautiful vibe into your own home. If you love the deep, classic green used on these cabinets, you're in luck — the exact color code is NCS S 8010-G10Y Gloss 25.
You can bring this NCS code to your local paint shop and ask them to mix a custom color that closely matches the original BODBYN dark green. Just keep in mind: colors can vary slightly between different paint brands and finishes, even if the NCS code is the same. It's always a good idea to test a sample before committing.
Pair your painted cabinets with traditional shaker-style doors and ENERYDA chrome handles to recreate that timeless IKEA kitchen charm in your own unique way.
The IKEA BODBYN dark green kitchen may no longer be available in this exact color, but its enduring style, smart organization, and harmonious design continue to inspire. From the rich green cabinetry to the thoughtful drawer systems and dual-tone countertops, it's a reminder that a well-planned kitchen can be both functional and breathtaking.
This kitchen was filmed by Mauritz at IKEA Sofia, Bulgaria, and we hope it gives you new ideas for your own space — whether you're planning a full renovation or simply dreaming.
