NICKEBO & VEDDINGE: Modern Kitchen Design

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.

Color Perfection: NCS Codes for a Designer Finish
-
🎨 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.

Functional Elegance in an L-Shaped Layout
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.
