IKEA UPPLÖV Dark Matt Beige & Antracite – A Modern Kitchen with Timeless Appeal

A kitchen is more than just a place to cook, it's the heart of your home, where creativity flows, friends gather, and unforgettable meals are shared. With the IKEA UPPLÖV Dark Matt Beige and Antracite kitchen, combined with HEJSTA ribbed glass cabinets, you can design a space that is both stunning and highly functional.

Why choose beige and antracite? A perfect balance
The combination of UPPLÖV Dark Matt Beige (NCS S 5005-Y20R, gloss 5) and UPPLÖV Antracite (NCS S 8500-N, gloss 10) creates a beautiful contrast that feels both warm and modern. The soft beige tones add a welcoming, sophisticated touch, while the deep antracite cabinets introduce a bold and contemporary feel. This timeless mix ensures your kitchen remains stylish for years to come.

A kitchen island built for function and style
At the heart of this kitchen is a large, multifunctional island, designed for cooking, socializing, and effortless hosting. The sleek EKBACKEN dark countertop enhances the contrast of the cabinetry, while the seamless integration of an induction cooktop keeps the design clean and practical. Whether you're preparing a gourmet meal or enjoying a casual breakfast, this island is built to be both functional and beautiful.

Smart and stylish details
The KILSVIKEN sink, with its dark matte finish, blends effortlessly into the countertop, offering a seamless and high-end look. Paired with the black TOLLSJÖN faucet, it enhances the kitchen's sleek, modern aesthetic while ensuring long-lasting durability and performance.

Elevated lighting with SVARTNORA pendants
Lighting is essential for both function and atmosphere, and the two large SVARTNORA pendant lamps above the island make a bold statement. Their black finish complements the antracite cabinets, creating a balanced look that feels cohesive and refined. These statement lights not only illuminate the space but also enhance the overall design.

HEJSTA ribbed glass cabinets, a touch of elegance
Storage should be as stylish as it is practical, and the HEJSTA ribbed glass cabinets deliver on both fronts. Their textured glass adds visual interest while allowing you to showcase elegant dinnerware and glassware. The soft translucency keeps the kitchen feeling airy while maintaining a clean and organized look.
