Scandinavian Style: HAVSTORP Kitchen from IKEA

Step into a space where function meets harmony—where design isn't just about style, but about how it feels to live, cook, and share moments. IKEA's HAVSTORP kitchen is a stunning example of how soft tones, smart features, and inviting textures can transform a kitchen into the true heart of the home. I'm Mauritz, and I had the chance to film this beautiful kitchen setup at IKEA. Now, let's take a closer look at why HAVSTORP could be your next kitchen inspiration.

Calm, Contemporary, and Full of Character
The HAVSTORP kitchen is defined by its clean lines and calming tones. Two color options bring a subtle depth to the space:
-
Light pink (NCS S 0907-R10B, gloss 10) adds a soft warmth that feels delicate without being too sweet.
-
Beige (NCS S 3005-Y20R, gloss 10) is grounded and elegant, creating a soothing, natural base.
The matte finish on the cabinets reflects just enough light to keep the room airy, while maintaining a cozy, understated feel.

Smart and Stylish Details That Make a Difference
This kitchen isn't just beautiful—it's smart too. The HAVSTORP kitchen features modern appliances and fixtures that make everyday life easier:
-
BEJUBLAD induction cooktop for fast, responsive cooking.
-
Wall-mounted BEJUBLAD extractor hood with a sleek glass front that blends perfectly with the cabinetry.
-
TÄMNAREN faucet with motion sensor adds convenience and hygiene.
-
KILSVIKEN sink in a gray/beige quartz composite that complements the kitchen's natural palette beautifully.
Together, these features create a functional cooking space that's as practical as it is elegant.

A Dining Area That Invites Conversation
The kitchen's open layout is enhanced by a cozy dining setup featuring the RÖNNINGE extendable table—ideal for both quiet weekday meals and hosting friends over the weekend. Paired with the charming NILSOVE chairs, made of woven rattan and a soft canvas seat, the whole space feels warm, relaxed, and totally livable.

Above the table, the gentle curves of the NYMÅNE pendant lamps cast a soft, inviting light—perfect for dinners, late-night chats, or morning coffee rituals.

Where Design Meets Everyday Life
What makes the HAVSTORP kitchen so appealing is its balance. It's modern but not sterile, stylish but approachable. Every detail, from the color palette to the functional features, feels carefully considered. It's a space that invites creativity in the kitchen and comfort in the company you keep.
If you're dreaming of a kitchen that feels as good as it looks, minimalist, modern, and effortlessly elegant, HAVSTORP might just be your perfect match.
