If you love kitchens that feel modern yet warm, this IKEA combination might be exactly what you are looking for. The light grey HAVSTORP fronts create a calm and minimal base, while the new EKBACKEN worktop in terracotta effect laminate adds a bold and contemporary accent. Together, they form a kitchen that feels stylish, practical, and full of character.
The light grey HAVSTORP doors have a clean, matte finish that gives the kitchen a soft and timeless expression. On its own, grey can sometimes feel too neutral, but paired with the terracotta tones of the EKBACKEN worktop, the result is warm and inviting. This color combination brings both balance and depth, making the kitchen stand out without feeling overwhelming.
The kitchen is designed with efficiency in mind. Wide drawers keep everything organized – from utensils and spices to textiles and waste sorting bins. Every drawer is fully extendable, so you can reach items easily without digging through the back. The built-in oven and sleek induction hob create a professional touch, while the matte black sink and faucet add a striking contrast against the terracotta surface.
Open shelves above the worktop offer space for spices, cookbooks, and decorative touches, allowing you to personalize the kitchen to your taste. The black accessories and modern lighting tie the design together, highlighting the warm tones of the terracotta backdrop. Even small details, like drawer organizers and integrated recycling bins, show how this kitchen blends design with function.
Modern yet warm look – grey and terracotta complement each other beautifully.
Durable materials – the EKBACKEN laminate worktop is resistant to everyday wear.
Easy to maintain – smooth fronts and surfaces are simple to clean.
Smart storage – drawers, organizers, and shelves keep everything in its place.
This kitchen is a great example of how IKEA continues to combine design and functionality with new materials and color trends. The HAVSTORP fronts give it a timeless base, while the terracotta EKBACKEN worktop introduces a fresh and bold touch that makes the entire kitchen feel unique.
