If you're looking for a sleek, modern kitchen design with a touch of Scandinavian minimalism, IKEA's VEDDINGE grey kitchen cabinets were a fantastic option. Though this beloved line has been discontinued, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a clean and sophisticated kitchen aesthetic. Let's explore why the VEDDINGE grey cabinets were so well-loved and how you can still achieve a similar look in your home.
Here you will find all the IKEA kitchens we have filmed.
VEDDINGE grey cabinets stood out for their understated elegance. Their smooth, matte finish provided a contemporary yet timeless appeal, making them versatile enough to complement various kitchen styles. The color—NCS S 2502-B with a gloss level of 30—offered a soft, neutral tone that worked beautifully with different countertops, backsplashes, and flooring options.
Here are some key benefits that made VEDDINGE grey cabinets a top choice:
Minimalist Design: The flat-panel doors created a seamless and modern aesthetic, perfect for those who appreciate simplicity.
Neutral Color Palette: The soft grey shade harmonized with a range of colors, from crisp whites to deep blues and warm wood tones.
Durable Finish: The lacquered surface was easy to clean and resistant to moisture, making it an excellent choice for busy kitchens.
Budget-Friendly Elegance: IKEA's reputation for affordability without compromising on design and quality made VEDDINGE a go-to option for stylish kitchens on a budget.
Even though VEDDINGE grey is no longer available, there are alternative ways to replicate its look and feel in your kitchen:
Explore IKEA's Current Cabinet Options IKEA continues to offer a range of neutral-toned kitchen cabinets that can give you a similar aesthetic. Consider cabinet styles like ENKÖPING or AXSTAD in grey for a comparable modern and clean look.
Custom Paint Matching If you love the exact shade of VEDDINGE grey, you can have custom cabinetry painted in NCS S 2502-B. Many professional paint stores can match the color to create a seamless finish for your kitchen.
Pair with Complementary Elements Whether you're using similar IKEA cabinets or custom alternatives, enhance your kitchen's look with complementary elements like:
White quartz or marble countertops for a fresh contrast
Matte black or brass hardware for added sophistication
Soft, under-cabinet lighting to highlight the cabinetry's subtle grey tones
Consider DIY Refinishing If you already own VEDDINGE grey cabinets but want to refresh their appearance, consider refinishing them with a similar matte grey paint and topcoat to maintain their original aesthetic.
