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.
