The Perfect Combination of Style and Functionality
This LERHYTTAN kitchen setup is thoughtfully designed with high-quality components that enhance both aesthetics and usability.

For a touch of vintage charm, the HAVSEN sink in white provides a classic farmhouse-inspired look, while the GAMLESJÖN dual-control kitchen faucet offers both practicality and style.

Smart Appliances and Storage Solutions
Efficiency is key in a kitchen, and IKEA delivers with modern appliances and clever storage options. The SMAKSAK oven provides reliable cooking performance, while the VÄLBILDAD induction hob ensures fast and energy-efficient meal preparation. Above the cooktop, the FOKUSERA wall-mounted extractor hood keeps the air fresh and clean, seamlessly blending into the kitchen's aesthetic.

For additional storage and display, the VADHOLMA wine shelf and open storage unit offer both convenience and style. The VADHOLMA kitchen island serves as a multifunctional space, perfect for meal prep, dining, or socializing. To keep everything organized, the HULTARP storage solution provides hooks and rails for utensils and cookware, maximizing every inch of available space.


Finishing Touches That Make a Difference
Cabinet hardware plays a crucial role in defining the kitchen's overall style. The ENERYDA handles and knobs in black blend seamlessly with the LERHYTTAN cabinets, adding a refined touch to drawers and doors. These small yet impactful details elevate the overall look, giving the kitchen a polished and cohesive feel.

A Dining Area That Complements the Kitchen
To complete the kitchen space, the dining area features the INGATORP black table paired with black INGOLF chairs. This combination harmonizes perfectly with the LERHYTTAN cabinetry, creating a unified and inviting atmosphere. Lighting plays a key role in enhancing the ambiance, and the ÄLVÄNGEN pendant lamp provides ample illumination with its two large lampshades, making it a stylish and functional addition.

A Cozy and Unique Floor Accent
A kitchen should feel welcoming, and the HÖJET rug adds warmth and texture to the space. This handwoven rug is unique, adding an artisanal touch that complements the traditional-meets-modern aesthetic of the LERHYTTAN kitchen.
