30.04.2025
If you're dreaming of a sleek, modern kitchen with a bold personality, look no further than the KALLARP high-gloss dark red-brown kitchen from IKEA. Filmed in-store by Mauritz, this kitchen setup is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and clever functionality can come together in a beautiful package.
Bold Color, High Gloss Finish
The first thing you'll notice is the deep, reflective tone of the cabinetry. The color code for KALLARP is NCS S 7020-R Gloss 88, a rich red-brown hue that delivers sophistication and warmth. The high-gloss finish not only looks stunning but also reflects light beautifully, giving the kitchen a sleek, polished appearance.
Premium Components with IKEA Quality
This kitchen doesn't just look good — it's packed with high-quality, functional elements:
-
KILSVIKEN sink in a modern, integrated design that blends seamlessly into the countertop.
-
BOSJÖN kitchen faucet, with a contemporary shape and excellent water control.
-
BALANSERAD wall-mounted range hood, offering both efficient ventilation and a streamlined silhouette.
Together, these components bring professional-level performance into the home kitchen.
Elegant Storage Solutions
The upper cabinets feature JUTIS smoked black glass doors, which add an extra layer of sophistication while still allowing a glimpse of what's stored inside. It's a stylish way to break up solid cabinet fronts and add depth to the space.
All the cabinets are fitted with KALLRÖR stainless steel handles. Their long, minimalistic design works beautifully against the glossy red finish, creating a clean and modern look.
Smart and Stylish Organization
Inside the cabinets and drawers, clever storage solutions abound. From rotating corner units for easy access to pots and pans, to organized utensil drawers with modular trays, this kitchen is designed for convenience and order.
A Kitchen Designed to Entertain
The layout, featuring an open corner design and an adjacent dining table, makes it perfect for both cooking and hosting. Stylish black tableware and woven placemats add the finishing touch to this IKEA showroom setup — a space where form meets function seamlessly.
Whether you're planning a kitchen renovation or just love exploring design ideas, the KALLARP kitchen at IKEA offers a beautiful mix of bold color, modern elegance, and smart functionality. Filmed by Mauritz, this setup showcases just how stunning and practical an IKEA kitchen can be.

IKEA Planning tools
IKEA are experts in instructional descriptions how to put together their furniture and kitchen, it is no wonder that they have fantastic planning tools on their website, over 25 different planning tools that you can play with and create your dream home. There are planning tools for different kitchen models, wardrobes, sofas, shelves, bathroom fittings and more. You recognize many series such as PAX, IVAR, KALLAX, BESTÅ and many more.
When you step inside IKEA's wardrobe displays, one thing becomes clear: the PAX system is designed to give you structure and order. As you can see in this example, every shelf, drawer and rail has its place – making it easy to imagine how it would look in your own home.
The IKEA EKHOLMA sofa offers a relaxed and inviting look, perfect for anyone who wants a practical yet stylish seating solution. Shown here in the cover Hakebo dark grey, it has a versatile tone that blends seamlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. The fabric feels soft to the touch while still being durable enough for everyday use.
When space is limited, every detail matters. At IKEA Tempelhof in Berlin, Mauritz filmed a striking example of how a staircase can be combined with a kitchen to create both style and function.
Choosing between IKEA's BODBYN and STENSUND kitchen fronts can be surprisingly difficult. Both styles offer a timeless, traditional aesthetic with framed panel doors, soft colors, and matte finishes. But the differences in design detail, material, and overall feel can significantly impact the look and mood of your kitchen.

During my latest visits to IKEA stores in Berlin, I discovered several new arrivals that stand out – from elegant tables to practical storage and updated classics.
