Welcome to a world where modern design meets eco-conscious living. Today we're diving into one of IKEA's most beloved kitchen setups: the KUNGSBACKA black kitchen. Whether you're planning a full kitchen renovation or simply dreaming up ideas, this stylish and sustainable kitchen system is worth exploring.
This particular setup, beautifully captured on film by Mauritz at IKEA Sofia, Bulgaria, showcases how a sleek black kitchen can balance functionality with striking aesthetics.
At the heart of this setup is IKEA's KUNGSBACKA kitchen, a bold and modern design crafted from recycled wood and PET-bottles. Its matte black finish (color code NCS S 8500-N, Gloss 5) provides a rich, velvety look that doesn't overpower the space, perfect for those who love dark tones but still want a welcoming atmosphere.
The KUNGSBACKA series is designed to be environmentally conscious without sacrificing style. It's a testament to IKEA's push toward sustainability, proving that recycled materials can be both elegant and durable.
One of the most eye-catching details in this kitchen is the warm SÄLJAN countertop, which adds contrast and a touch of nature to the otherwise dark palette. It's practical, easy to clean, and affordable, classic IKEA.
Set into the countertop is the KILSVIKEN sink, in a matte black finish that blends beautifully with the rest of the kitchen. It's paired with the VIMMERN faucet, complete with a pull-out spray head, making everyday tasks feel a little more luxurious.
What's a modern kitchen without an island? This large kitchen island is the beating heart of the room. Topped with the same SÄLJAN worktop, it provides generous prep space and seating potential, ideal for casual meals, morning coffee, or entertaining guests while cooking.
Integrated into the island is the UTNÄMND induction hob, sleek and energy-efficient, with touch controls for a minimalist look. Above it, the striking SVÄVANDE ceiling-mounted extractor adds a contemporary flair while keeping the air fresh and clear of cooking odors.
Storage and organization play a vital role in kitchen design. This kitchen uses IKEA's HACKÅS handles in black, a perfect match for the matte KUNGSBACKA fronts. They offer a clean, minimal look and a sturdy grip, proving once again that small details make a big impact.
Inside the drawers, bamboo spice jar organizers and modular compartments make every inch count. It's a system that turns chaos into calm, helping you maintain that pristine, modern look even during your busiest days.
Behind the sink and cooking area, a deep blue, herringbone-patterned tile backsplash adds dimension and contrast. It catches the light and shifts in tone, creating a dynamic background that elevates the entire design. This splash of color breaks up the black-and-wood theme in the best way, adding personality and sophistication.
If you love the idea of a black kitchen with a kitchen island, IKEA's KUNGSBACKA is a fantastic choice. It's eco-friendly, stylish, and endlessly adaptable. With high-quality components like the SÄLJAN countertop, VIMMERN faucet, and UTNÄMND induction hob, you're not just designing a kitchen, you're creating a lifestyle space.
Many customers are drawn to the KUNGSBACKA line for its clean lines, sustainable roots, and timeless appeal. Whether you're outfitting a cozy apartment or a spacious home, this kitchen setup adapts beautifully to a range of layouts.
Modern, minimal, and mindful. That's the essence of the KUNGSBACKA kitchen from IKEA. With carefully chosen components and a keen eye for design, this kitchen delivers both performance and style.

IKEA's new RÅDMANSÖ series offers a warm walnut wood look with sleek, modern details that stand out in any bedroom. The series combines a retro-inspired design with practical storage solutions, all elevated by slim black legs with subtle brass-colored tips.
KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.
The IKEA STOCKHOLM collection is one of IKEA's most exclusive and beloved ranges, known for its focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and timeless design. Unlike many other IKEA series, STOCKHOLM is created with the idea of long-lasting furniture pieces that bring a sense of luxury while still being accessible to a wide audience.
The STOREMOLLA series is one of IKEA's newest storage solutions, combining the timeless appeal of solid pine with a clean, rounded design. Available in two sizes and two elegant stain finishes, these chests of drawers bring both practicality and style to the home. Filmed by Mauritz at the IKEA Berlin Waltersdorf and Spandau store.
When it comes to kitchen design, the backsplash is often where creativity shines. Instead of the usual tiles, glass, or stainless steel, IKEA has presented something truly unexpected in one of their showrooms: a backsplash made entirely of faux greenery.
Finding smart storage solutions is often a challenge, especially in smaller homes or apartments where every square meter counts. One of the most overlooked spaces is under the staircase, a tricky corner that can either collect dust or be transformed into a highly functional storage area.
