Above the cooking area, the MATTRADITION wall-mounted range hood adds a sleek, stainless-steel finish that efficiently ventilates while elevating the kitchen's modern aesthetic. Beneath the upper cabinets, SKYDRAG lighting provides focused task illumination—perfect for prepping meals or creating cozy ambiance during dinner.

This IKEA setup isn't just a showroom display, it's a compact inspiration for anyone looking to furnish a small kitchen space stylishly and affordably.
