This kitchen setup takes the design one step further by combining it with high-end yet affordable features and accessories that enhance both function and aesthetics.

Here you will find all IKEA kitchens that we have filmed.

The Style: Minimalism Meets Warm Wood Tones

The VEDDINGE white fronts create a calm and modern base that is beautifully contrasted by the KARLBY countertop in oak veneer. This combination brings warmth to the space without losing the clean Scandinavian vibe.

Functional Elements for Everyday Cooking

This kitchen includes several practical components from IKEA that truly elevate the experience:

  • MATMÄSSIG induction hob – a sleek and energy-efficient cooktop perfect for modern homes.

  • MATÄLSKARE fan – stylish and discrete, it blends seamlessly with the upper cabinets.

  • HILLESJÖN sink & YTTRAN kitchen faucet – reliable and stylish essentials in stainless steel.

Smart Storage and Layout

The corner base cabinets are fitted with a carousel system, making hard-to-reach spaces usable and practical. For open storage, the striking TUTEMO shelves offer an airy display area for decorative items, glasses, or kitchen tools.

Stylish Touches That Complete the Look

Several details add personality to this kitchen:

  • HACKÅS handles – brushed metal handles that enhance the minimalist cabinets.

  • BRUNSTA pendant lamp – a geometric light fixture that acts as a visual centerpiece above the kitchen island.

  • JANINGE bar stools – clean-lined, adjustable-height stools in white and chrome – ideal for a quick coffee or breakfast.

Why Choose VEDDINGE Kitchen Fronts?

VEDDINGE is one of IKEA's most popular kitchen front styles – and for good reason. Its smooth, matte white surface gives a clean and modern look that fits almost any kitchen style, from Scandinavian minimalism to more classic settings.

Key advantages of VEDDINGE:

  • ✅ Timeless design: No patterns, no fuss – just a sleek flat front.

  • ✅ Easy to match: Works with both wood countertops (like KARLBY) and darker tones.

  • ✅ Low maintenance: The matte surface hides fingerprints and is easy to wipe clean.

  • ✅ Budget-friendly: A great option if you want a modern kitchen without overspending.

If you're aiming for a bright, open kitchen that feels calm and clutter-free, VEDDINGE is an excellent choice.
