To balance the light cabinet fronts, IKEA has paired them with the KARLBY countertop in walnut veneer. Its rich tones add depth and a natural texture that enhances the cozy atmosphere of the kitchen. The combination feels inviting and grounded, especially when paired with the darker floorboards and simple white tiled backsplash.
This kitchen is built in a compact U shape, maximizing the available wall space and creating an efficient workflow. U-shaped layouts are ideal for smaller rooms where you need plenty of countertop and storage in a limited area. One major advantage is how it creates a natural work triangle between the sink, stove and fridge. It also allows multiple people to work in the kitchen without bumping into each other. The downside is that it can feel a bit enclosed if the space is too tight or lacks natural light. However, in this setup, IKEA has cleverly placed the window in the middle to keep the area feeling bright and open.
The sink and faucet are a match made in heaven. The HAVSEN sink is a white, deep ceramic apron front sink that fits snugly into the traditional kitchen theme. The GLITTRAN kitchen faucet in matte black adds a dramatic touch. This contrast of light and dark elements plays throughout the kitchen, providing visual interest without overwhelming the space.
The classic look continues with ENERYDA cup handles in chrome plated metal. These handles echo vintage influences and tie together the retro modern vibe that BODBYN kitchens are known for. You'll also spot the SKURUP pendant lamps hanging over the window, offering focused light and industrial character.
Other small but thoughtful accessories include the MAGASIN bread bin in natural wood and HUTTEN wine rack, which holds up to nine bottles. On the open shelf, the TORNVIKEN open cabinet adds airy storage and room to show off your favorite jars or mugs.
This IKEA kitchen proves that traditional styles never go out of fashion. It's a space that feels lived in, functional and personal. The warm off white color of BODBYN fronts paired with walnut tones and black details creates a palette that works year round and will age gracefully.
