The EKBACKEN countertop, in a subtle stone effect, enhances the refined look, while the kitchen island offers extra workspace and serves as a stylish centerpiece.
The layout combines practical U-shape functionality with an island, maximizing both storage and workflow. From cooking to entertaining, this kitchen is designed to handle everyday needs while looking effortlessly beautiful.
Every detail in this kitchen has been carefully considered. The HAVSEN farmhouse sink adds a rustic touch and is perfect for large pots and pans.

The SOLKLINT pendant lamps in brass and gray clear glass add a modern glow above the island, creating a warm ambiance for dining or meal prep. The dark gray walls serve as a dramatic backdrop, highlighting the soft gray cabinets and adding depth to the space.
This kitchen's elegance is enhanced by a curated selection of IKEA accessories that add both style and functionality:
The ARV BRÖLLOP cake stand with lid in clear glass creates a beautiful centerpiece on the island, ideal for showcasing cakes, pastries, or seasonal decor.
ENTUSIASM side plates and bowls in a delicate blue pattern bring a touch of Scandinavian charm to the table setting.
The VONSBÄK low-pile rug in dark blue anchors the space and adds warmth and texture underfoot.
The ÅKERBÄR greenhouse in anthracite, sitting neatly on the countertop, is a stylish and practical solution for growing herbs or displaying small plants. It blends seamlessly with the kitchen's refined aesthetic and adds a fresh, natural element to the design.
This IKEA BODBYN kitchen isn't just about looks, it's designed to make everyday life easier. The generous cabinet space, smooth drawers, and clever layout ensure you have everything within reach.
