IKEA's BODARP kitchen is a popular choice for those looking to add a modern touch to their home. With its matte gray-green color, the BODARP kitchen adds a unique and stylish look to any space. Every IKEA store we visit has a BODARP kitchen as a display model, so they should be quite popular. If you want to see all the BODARP kitchens that we filmed, follow the link.

One of the main characteristics of the BODARP kitchen is its sleek and minimalist design. The kitchen cabinets are made from high-quality materials, including MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and foil, which give them a durable and smooth finish. 

The BODARP kitchen also features soft-closing hinges on the cabinets, which help to reduce noise and extend the life of the doors. You should have this in all kitchens but also wardrobes, good advice from me who opens thousands of kitchen cabinets and wardrobe doors every year. The pictures in this article also show a large variety of kitchen handles and kitchen worktops, so you can style your kitchen a little how you want, the color of the kitchen doors matches very different styles and colors.

BODARP A Great Choice for Mix and Matching

One of the main advantages of the BODARP kitchen is its versatility. The matte gray-green color is perfect for those who want to add a touch of color to their kitchen without going too bold. The neutral color also allows for easy coordination with other colors and styles, making it a great choice for those looking to mix and match different kitchen cabinets.

Its sleek design and neutral color make it easy to coordinate with other kitchen cabinets and decor. While green can be a challenging color to work with, the matte grey-green of the BODARP kitchen offers a more neutral and versatile option. But I have to add one thing regarding BODARP, I have filmed many different variants of BODARP kitchens and it is very difficult to get a "fair" picture of how the kitchen really looks, the light has an extremely large influence on how the kitchen doors are perceived.
