When it comes to kitchen design, the backsplash is often where creativity shines. Instead of the usual tiles, glass, or stainless steel, IKEA has presented something truly unexpected in one of their showrooms: a backsplash made entirely of faux greenery.
This kitchen is built with the IKEA METOD system and features NICKEBO matte green doors. The combination of sleek cabinet fronts and the lush backdrop of faux plants creates a playful yet modern expression. The light wood-effect countertop and simple wooden knobs balance the look, keeping it natural and inviting. Photos by Mauritz, taken at the IKEA Berlin showroom.
The green wall is created using FEJKA artificial plant panels (26×26 cm), which are normally used for indoor or outdoor decoration. Here, they are mounted as a backsplash, transforming the kitchen into a lively and fresh-looking space. It's an unusual solution that immediately grabs attention and adds character.

Combined with the light countertop and minimalist layout, the result is a stylish kitchen that dares to be different.
