BODBYN Dark Green IKEA Kitchen: Add a pop of color to your cooking space

Looking to elevate your kitchen space with a bold, yet classic style? The BODBYN dark green kitchen from IKEA might just be the muse you need. With its deep, rich tone and elegant traditional detailing, this kitchen layout is a seamless blend of modern functionality and old-world charm.
This particular kitchen, filmed by me Mauritz at IKEA, showcases how beautifully the BODBYN series can come to life when paired with thoughtful accessories and smart organization.

Classic Meets Contemporary: The Design
What sets this kitchen apart is its striking use of color and texture. The BODBYN cabinet doors, now discontinued in this deep green hue at IKEA, feature a traditional framed panel design that brings a sense of timelessness to the space. Their high-gloss finish adds depth and sophistication, complementing the dark green color perfectly.
Above the countertop, glass-front upper cabinets provide a stylish stage for elegant dishware, while offering lightness and visual openness. The glass panels bring balance to the deeper tones of the cabinetry, making the kitchen feel cozy but not closed in.

The Countertop: SÄLJAN in Black Marble Effect
A kitchen isn't complete without a standout countertop. Here, the SÄLJAN black marble effect laminate countertop makes a bold yet practical choice. It's easy to clean, resistant to wear, and adds a luxurious flair without the maintenance that natural stone demands.
The pairing of black marble pattern with dark green cabinets is nothing short of dramatic, making this kitchen ideal for those who want something unique without sacrificing warmth and functionality.

Details that Make a Difference
Subtle design details bring this kitchen to life:
-
Open shelving between cabinets adds natural wood texture and creates space for cookbooks or decorative storage.
-
Farmhouse-style sink in classic white breaks up the dark tones and adds character.
-
Matte black stove hood and modern induction cooktop tie the space together with sleek modernity.
-
The drawers and cabinetry are cleverly arranged for maximum storage without compromising aesthetics, check out the deep drawers holding matching ceramic containers!
These elements work harmoniously to make the kitchen not only beautiful, but a dream to work in.

What If You Missed It? Recreate the Look with This Color Code
Since the BODBYN dark green kitchen has been discontinued by IKEA, you might be wondering how to get this same luxurious look. Good news! The NCS color code for this specific shade is:
S 8010-G10Y Gloss 25
With this code, you can recreate the rich green tone by having paint mixed to match. Just remember: even if the code is exactly the same, colors can vary slightly between manufacturers due to differences in base materials and finishes. Always test a sample before painting your entire kitchen.

Timeless Appeal with a Personal Touch
What makes the BODBYN kitchen so appealing is how effortlessly it blends tradition with innovation. It feels personal, curated, and full of soul, something many modern kitchens lack. Whether you're starting fresh or planning a revamp, this design proves that green is more than just a trend; it's a statement of style.
So, if you're drawn to deep colors, elegant lines, and a touch of countryside charm, let this BODBYN kitchen be your inspiration. Even though the original IKEA version is no longer available, with the right paint and a bit of creativity, your dream kitchen is still well within reach.
