The LERHYTTAN kitchen in blue is one of IKEA's most character-rich kitchen fronts, blending classic craftsmanship with a slightly rustic, Scandinavian feel. During my visit to IKEA Stuttgart, I filmed two different LERHYTTAN blue kitchen setups, each showing a distinct interpretation of the same front.
This real-life IKEA kitchen was filmed by Mauritz Interior & Design.
Both kitchens are built with the METOD kitchen system and demonstrate how flexible LERHYTTAN can be – from compact, functional layouts to larger, more traditional family kitchens.
This first LERHYTTAN kitchen is displayed in a 22 m² room, proving that a darker blue kitchen can still feel balanced and welcoming in a mid-sized space.
Kitchen front: LERHYTTAN blue
System: METOD
Room size: 22 m²
Wall colors:
Beige: NCS S 1005-Y10R
Blue: NCS S 8010-B10G
Floor: Laminate flooring with concrete look
The blue cabinet fronts are paired with white square tiles, creating contrast and keeping the space visually light. A darker worktop and a farmhouse-style sink add to the traditional expression, while black handles and a black extractor hood introduce a modern edge.
Upper cabinets with glass doors break up the solid cabinetry and make the kitchen feel less heavy – a smart choice when working with deeper colors in smaller spaces.
The second kitchen shows LERHYTTAN blue in a larger, more open layout, combined with a full dining area. Here, the kitchen clearly leans into its classic Scandinavian roots, but with warmer and more social styling.
Kitchen front: LERHYTTAN blue
System: METOD
Worktop: Solid wood
Backsplash: Patterned tiles
Integrated ovens and tall cabinets
Open dining area with wooden table and chairs
The wooden worktop softens the blue cabinetry and gives the kitchen a warmer, more lived-in feel. Patterned backsplash tiles add texture and visual interest without overpowering the space.
Tall cabinets and integrated appliances create a clean, built-in look, while the dining table placed directly in front of the kitchen reinforces the idea of the kitchen as the heart of the home.
What stands out when seeing these two kitchens side by side is how versatile the LERHYTTAN blue front really is.
Works equally well in small and large kitchens
Pairs beautifully with white tiles, wood, and black details
Feels traditional without looking old-fashioned
Ideal for anyone who wants a kitchen with character and depth
The slightly muted blue tone avoids feeling trendy or dated, making LERHYTTAN a safe long-term choice for classic kitchen lovers.
