IKEA has officially begun phasing out the beloved MALM series, replacing it with a new and safer alternative: STORKLINTA. But what exactly is different between these two lines of bedroom furniture? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering a switch or just curious about the change.
Elegant in Black: IKEA’s LERHYTTAN Kitchen

Welcome to the heart of the home — reimagined. The IKEA LERHYTTAN kitchen in striking black is a bold yet timeless statement that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern functionality. With cabinet doors painted in NCS color code S 9000-N and a smooth gloss level of 5, this kitchen brings depth and character to any home interior. (Filmed and captured by Mauritz, this IKEA kitchen is more than just a space to cook — it's a space to live.)
Whether you're hosting a dinner party or brewing your morning coffee, the ambiance of this black LERHYTTAN kitchen sets a tone of calm confidence and cozy elegance.

Classic Meets Modern: A Kitchen Made to Be Lived In
LERHYTTAN's design captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship with a modern twist. The matte black cabinetry, contrasted beautifully by natural oak countertops, creates a grounded, tactile look. Subtle lighting, glass-fronted cabinets, and elegant hardware all contribute to an atmosphere of understated luxury.
And let's talk details. The white beveled subway tiles on the backsplash add dimension and reflect light in all the right ways — bringing warmth to the darker tones of the cabinetry.

Efficient Cooking Space Meets Scandinavian Style
Every inch of this kitchen has been designed with intention. The layout features an integrated oven and gas cooktop, making it ideal for serious cooks. Overhead, the sleek stainless steel extractor hood complements the bold cabinetry while providing powerful ventilation.
A deep stainless steel sink with a stylish matte black faucet adds both practicality and design coherence, while accessories like the wooden bread box and potted herbs inject a homey touch.

VADHOLMA – The Perfect Pantry Companion
One standout section of this LERHYTTAN setup is the integration of VADHOLMA — IKEA's smart storage system that turns kitchen organization into art. The VADHOLMA storage wall features open shelving, angled wine compartments, glass jar displays, and smooth wood drawers — ideal for preserving, storing, and showcasing your ingredients and kitchen treasures.
It's not just storage. It's a feature wall, a conversation starter, and a practical companion for the culinary enthusiast.

Designed for Real Living
Small details make a big difference. From the practical wall-mounted rail systems for utensils and towels, to the intimate round dining table for cozy breakfasts, this kitchen embraces real life. It's not just for show — it's for sharing meals, making memories, and living every day with style.
Compact Dining with NACKANÄS Charm
In this beautifully compact kitchen space, the NACKANÄS chairs and the round wooden table prove that smart design doesn't need excess square meters. Their slim profiles and natural wood tones blend seamlessly with the LERHYTTAN aesthetic, offering a cozy, stylish dining spot that feels both airy and inviting. Perfect for morning coffee, quick meals, or intimate dinners, this setup makes the most of every corner without compromising on comfort or charm.
