Inside IKEA’s KALLARP Kitchen – Deep Reds, Smart Storage & Modern Style

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.
