If you're dreaming of a kitchen that feels timeless, welcoming, and full of charm, you'll love the STENSUND series from IKEA. Beige is making a quiet comeback in the world of interior design, and the STENSUND kitchen proves just how stunning and soothing this color can be.
Whether you're a passionate home chef or someone who loves sharing a cup of coffee with friends in a cozy nook, these four kitchen setups will fill you with inspiration. I'm Mauritz, and I recently visited several IKEA to capture these beautiful STENSUND kitchens — come explore them with me!
The first kitchen oozes simplicity and functionality. The clean lines of the shaker-style cabinet doors paired with subtle metallic handles create a sleek yet inviting atmosphere. Beige tiles with a glossy finish add warmth and reflect light beautifully.
This setup shows how you can balance minimalism with comfort. Small glass jars on the countertop and open shelving make the space feel homey and lived-in, while stainless steel details (like the hood) add just enough modern edge.
Step into this second kitchen and you'll feel like you've been transported to a cozy countryside cottage. The space feels personal, with a vibrant mix of patterned tiles along the backsplash and a mustard yellow wall that radiates warmth.
A round dining table with white chairs makes it ideal for morning coffees and Sunday brunches. Decorative curtains, soft lighting, and layered textures turn this kitchen into a welcoming, multifunctional space — perfect for both cooking and connection.
The third kitchen showcases the harmony between beige cabinetry and warm wood countertops. The butcher-block worktop brings a natural element into the kitchen, while the faux window with a garden view and lace curtain gives the illusion of a sunny cottage escape.
Glass-front cabinets display glassware in a stylish yet accessible way, and small potted plants add a pop of green. This layout is ideal if you're looking for a kitchen that balances functionality with that beloved "hygge" vibe.
The final kitchen combines sophistication with playful elements. It has an L-shaped layout perfect for maximizing counter space, and features integrated appliances for a seamless look. The glass-panel cabinets, black pendant lighting, and minimalist white tiles give the space a modern Scandinavian edge.
The adjacent dining nook — beautifully set for a casual dinner — includes charming details like a plush elephant toy and woven placemats, making it stylish without losing the human touch.
Each of these kitchens celebrates the heart of the home with its own twist on the STENSUND beige style. From rustic touches to sleek modern lines, there's a version of this kitchen that speaks to every kind of home cook and design lover.
These photos were taken by me, Mauritz, during visits to IKEA — a treasure trove for anyone looking to blend practicality with aesthetics. Whether you're planning a full kitchen remodel or simply gathering ideas, the STENSUND collection might just be what your dream kitchen is made of.
