IKEA ASKERSUND Light Ash: Sleek & Functional

A kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it's the heart of the home, where functionality meets aesthetics. If you're looking for a modern, warm, and inviting kitchen design, the IKEA ASKERSUND Light Ash kitchen is the perfect choice. With its sleek Scandinavian-inspired look and practical features, this kitchen offers the ideal balance of beauty and efficiency.


A Stylish and Durable Countertop: SÄLJAN
A great kitchen starts with a reliable and stylish work surface. The SÄLJAN countertop in white/light gray stone effect is a stunning addition that not only complements the light ash cabinetry but also offers a durable, easy-to-maintain laminate surface. Whether you're chopping vegetables, kneading dough, or simply enjoying a morning coffee, this countertop adds a touch of elegance while standing up to everyday wear and tear.

Efficient Cooking with LAGAN Appliances
Cooking is effortless and enjoyable with LAGAN kitchen appliances. The LAGAN oven and induction cooktop provide powerful performance while maintaining energy efficiency. The induction cooktop heats up quickly and provides precise temperature control, making it perfect for everything from slow simmering to high-heat searing. Meanwhile, the LAGAN oven ensures even baking and roasting, helping you create delicious meals with ease.

A Functional and Sleek Ventilation Solution: UTDRAG
No modern kitchen is complete without proper ventilation. The UTDRAG range hood is a space-saving, built-in extractor that keeps your kitchen fresh and free from cooking odors. Designed for seamless integration, it blends beautifully with the ASKERSUND cabinetry, maintaining a clean and uncluttered look while enhancing air quality in your home.

Smart and Practical Sink Area: BOHOLMEN & LAGAN Faucet
The BOHOLMEN sink is a practical choice that offers both durability and functionality. With its clean design and stainless steel finish, it's easy to clean and resistant to stains. Paired with the LAGAN kitchen faucet, which provides a smooth water flow and timeless design, your sink area becomes a stylish and efficient space for washing, rinsing, and prepping ingredients.

The Finishing Touch: BILLSBRO Handles
Even the smallest details can make a big impact. The BILLSBRO handles in white are the perfect complement to the ASKERSUND cabinets, offering a minimalistic, modern touch.
