IKEA KNOXHULT Kitchen in Dark Gray – A Fresh Update for Modern Homes

IKEA's KNOXHULT series has long been a favorite for those who want a practical and affordable kitchen solution that doesn't compromise on style. Now it arrives in a brand-new dark gray finish, giving this budget-friendly kitchen a modern and elegant twist.
This compact kitchen is perfect for small apartments, student housing, or guest homes where you want a complete setup with a clean, contemporary look.

A Complete Kitchen at a Great Value
KNOXHULT comes as a ready-made kitchen set that includes both cabinets and appliances. The new dark gray doors pair beautifully with the light marble-effect countertop, creating a stylish contrast that feels more high-end than its price suggests.

In this setup you'll find:
-
A sink unit with base cabinets and storage
-
A stove and oven combination with modern induction cooktop
-
A tall cabinet for extra pantry or appliance storage
-
Drawers with smart organization for cutlery and utensils
-
Extractor fan above the cooktop
The kitchen is compact but highly functional, designed to cover everything you need in a small footprint.

Open Storage with ENHET Shelves
To break up the closed cabinets and add some personality, IKEA has combined KNOXHULT with an ENHET open shelf unit. This gives the space a lighter feel and is perfect for everyday items like glasses, mugs, and jars – or to showcase plants and decorative details.
Mixing ENHET shelving with KNOXHULT modules shows how flexible IKEA systems can be, even when combining across series.


Modern Style in Dark Gray
The new dark gray color makes KNOXHULT look sleek and minimalistic. It works equally well in a light Scandinavian interior or in a bold urban apartment. Paired with the marble-look countertop, it creates a balanced design that feels calm yet stylish.
The matte surface of the cabinets is also practical, helping to reduce the look of fingerprints and everyday wear.

Designed for Everyday Life
While KNOXHULT is one of IKEA's more affordable kitchen lines, it is built to last and comes with a 5-year guarantee. It's an easy solution for anyone who wants a ready-to-install kitchen without the planning process required for METOD.
The drawers provide smooth organization, and the tall cabinet ensures there's enough storage for groceries and larger kitchen items. With the ENHET shelf, you can keep essentials within easy reach, making cooking more efficient.

Other Color Options
If dark gray isn't your style, the IKEA KNOXHULT kitchen also comes in white and oak effect. These lighter tones give a more traditional or Scandinavian feel, while still keeping the same practical setup and budget-friendly price.

Final Thoughts
The IKEA KNOXHULT in dark gray is a smart update to a classic budget kitchen. By adding ENHET open shelves, it feels more modern and personal, while still offering all the practicality you need in a compact space.
