A kitchen is only as elegant and functional as the details you choose. And when it comes to combining minimalist Scandinavian design with everyday practicality, few brands deliver like IKEA.
At Mauritz Interior & Design, we've captured hundreds of unique perspectives directly from IKEA showrooms – high-quality, real-world snapshots of how these pieces truly look and feel in a real kitchen environment. If you've been thinking of refreshing your kitchen or simply want to see what IKEA has to offer, you're in for a treat.
We've rounded up the standout kitchen sinks and faucets that bring together beauty, function, and affordability.
The KILSVIKEN sink in soft beige composite stone is a perfect example of how IKEA balances form and function. The gently textured surface adds warmth and sophistication to any kitchen while remaining highly resistant to scratches and heat.
In this setup, it's beautifully paired with a traditional-style EDSVIK chrome faucet that contrasts the modern material with timeless, vintage-inspired charm. The accompanying colander tray adds not only visual balance but real utility — ideal for quick rinsing, draining, or even prepping veggies.
This is a brilliant example of IKEA's modular philosophy in action: classic design, modern materials, and clever accessories all working seamlessly together.
This round matte black sink makes a bold design statement. With its granite composite material and minimalist form, KILSVIKEN blends durability and trend. Pair it with a matte black GAMLESJÖN faucet for a modern industrial vibe.
This dramatic kitchen combo shows just how far IKEA has come in offering bold design choices. The LILLVIKEN sink, with integrated drainer, brings a sleek and functional matte-black aesthetic that instantly modernizes any countertop. Its surface is easy to clean, heat-resistant and adds an unexpected architectural presence.
Matched perfectly is the GAMLESJÖN faucet in black — with classic cross handles that bring in a subtle nod to vintage plumbing, all while remaining thoroughly contemporary.
A discreet addition worth noting is the built-in KNIPEN soap dispenser in stainless steel. It's a perfect example of how small accessories can complete a kitchen's look and functionality with style.
The HILLESJÖN double-bowl sink is one of IKEA's most versatile stainless steel options. With a spacious main basin and a narrower secondary bowl, it's ideal for multitasking — wash dishes in one, rinse veggies in the other. Its clean, polished lines and flush edges work beautifully in both modern and transitional kitchens.
Matched here with the compact YTTRAN faucet, this combo prioritizes functionality without sacrificing style. The faucet's slightly tilted spout and single-lever design make everyday tasks easy and fluid.
Tucked just behind is the subtle KNIPEN soap dispenser in brushed steel, showing once again how IKEA excels at thoughtful, cohesive details.
Sharp lines, brushed finish, and a deep bowl make NORRSJÖN a professional's choice. Its square shape maximizes functionality in smaller kitchens while giving it a high-end look.
For those who demand maximum utility without compromising on aesthetics, the LÅNGUDDEN double-bowl sink is a smart, space-savvy choice. Its seamless stainless steel finish exudes professional-grade quality, while the asymmetrical layout supports multitasking like a dream — one side for prep, one for clean-up.
Paired with the tall, curved ÄLMAREN faucet in brushed steel, this combination brings flexibility and flow to your daily kitchen routine. The pull-out spray feature makes rinsing oversized pots or reaching every corner of the sink effortless.
Also integrated: the sleek KNIPEN soap dispenser, completing this ultra-functional, highly coordinated IKEA workstation. This is the kitchen zone designed for those who love clean lines and clever details.
Perfect for smaller apartments or secondary prep areas, BOHOLMEN's lightweight steel basin meets the ultra-affordable LAGAN faucet. A classic IKEA duo that punches above its price tag.
This combo sink includes built-in draining space, ideal for open-plan kitchens where drying dishes becomes part of the design. Match it with YTTRAN for a clean, sleek combo.
Few IKEA products capture rustic elegance quite like HAVSEN. This white, double-bowl ceramic sink is a modern take on the classic farmhouse apron front. Its deep basins and gently rounded edges evoke a timeless kitchen aesthetic, while offering generous space for washing and prepping.
Set against a warm KARLBY wood countertop and soft blush-pink walls, HAVSEN shines in this cozy, off-white BODBYN kitchen setup. It's beautifully paired with a traditional chrome faucet, adding even more vintage flair without compromising on performance.
