The IKEA NICKEBO and VEDDINGE kitchen combination brings sleek contrast and timeless simplicity to modern homes. With matte anthracite lower cabinets and glossy white uppers, this L-shaped kitchen strikes the perfect balance between drama and lightness — all within a minimal, highly functional layout.
🎨 NICKEBO: Anthracite gray – NCS S 8500-N, gloss level 10 (matte finish)
🎨 VEDDINGE: Classic white – NCS S 0502-Y05R, gloss level 40 (semi-gloss finish)
These carefully chosen tones create a high-end visual impression while remaining neutral enough to suit any interior style.
This L-shaped configuration offers plenty of countertop space while keeping everything within easy reach — ideal for both compact apartments and open-plan living. The dark worktop flows seamlessly into the NICKEBO drawers and base cabinets, while the glossy white VEDDINGE wall units reflect light, opening up the space visually.

Matte black fronts paired with discreet, minimalist handles
Integrated LED lighting for under-cabinet clarity
Built-in black oven and sleek induction cooktop
Matching black KILSVIKEN inset sink and faucet for a cohesive look
Natural-tone flooring to warm up the monochrome palette
