Creating a bedroom that feels both calm and functional often comes down to choosing the right storage. In this showroom, photographed by Mauritz Interior & Design at IKEA in Berlin, the classics MALM and EKET come together in a way that feels both elegant and practical.
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.

Choosing the right door for your PAX wardrobe can be tricky, especially if you want to coordinate it with wall paint, flooring or other furniture.
When you step inside IKEA's wardrobe displays, one thing becomes clear: the PAX system is designed to give you structure and order. As you can see in this example, every shelf, drawer and rail has its place – making it easy to imagine how it would look in your own home.
The IKEA EKHOLMA sofa offers a relaxed and inviting look, perfect for anyone who wants a practical yet stylish seating solution. Shown here in the cover Hakebo dark grey, it has a versatile tone that blends seamlessly with both modern and traditional interiors. The fabric feels soft to the touch while still being durable enough for everyday use.
When space is limited, every detail matters. At IKEA Tempelhof in Berlin, Mauritz filmed a striking example of how a staircase can be combined with a kitchen to create both style and function.
Choosing between IKEA's BODBYN and STENSUND kitchen fronts can be surprisingly difficult. Both styles offer a timeless, traditional aesthetic with framed panel doors, soft colors, and matte finishes. But the differences in design detail, material, and overall feel can significantly impact the look and mood of your kitchen.
