Features of the new Ikea line
Today, when choosing a kitchen set, it is important to pay attention to the size of the kitchen, the style in which it is made, as well as geometric features.
Ikea made sure that the client had the opportunity to choose the design he liked, taking into account the required sizes and shapes.
Thanks to the principle of modularity, the new furniture collection will become an integral attribute in modern design.
Decor
IKEA designers have come up with many original solutions for decor in any style. We will tell you about the best options that the company's designers have created for different styles.
The most fashionable and modern thing now is environmental friendliness. The Bodarp kitchen set is made in factories that use energy from renewable sources. The protective film on the facades consists of recycled plastic. The Matmessig induction hob runs on electricity and uses it economically. The Kungfors wall lattice will help you place the most necessary things at hand vertically, and it will also comfortably accommodate indoor flowers.

The traditional style will be good if you use the Budbyn door, decorate it with Enerid handles and a Fintorp hook, and decorate the sink with an Inschön mixer. To add functionality, you can use the Tornviken drawer, which fits well into any drawer and helps organize personal items. The Norrarid and Norroker chair and table make a great place for the whole family to dine.
Scandinavian style is a fashionable solution. The Askersund kitchen set, Ekbakken countertop and Matelscare oven will help you create it. The Boya pendant lamp is highly energy efficient, and ecology is always in fashion.

Country style involves a large amount of textiles and natural materials. A Soiret napkin, woven from water hyacinth and coated with clear varnish for durability, zones the places at the table. A Rutig checkered tablecloth or a simpler Vardagen and a Tillstallning napkin holder will add the desired effect. Add wooden cooking utensils and elegant decorations for the desired effect.

The Provence style and country style have a lot in common. Replace the Rutig tablecloth with Minna or leave Vardagen, decorate with Mittibit placemats and Lixidig napkin holder.
Advantages of Ikea furniture
Despite the main advantage in the production of branded products, the company ensures that all materials for the manufacture of furniture, additional modules and accessories are environmentally friendly.
An important factor is the interchangeability of modules. This means that if you want to make any changes to the headset, there will be no problems.
The variety of modules will allow you to change any detail or individual element of the kitchen without losing the previous layout.
And the ability to combine different styles and colors will help you create a truly original design, and at an affordable cost.
The release of the new line did not affect the quality of the product, its technical characteristics and service life. Therefore, Ikea kitchens of 2020 can be used both in houses with large dimensions, non-standard-shaped rooms, and cramped apartments, saving space due to the functionality of the modules.
What to do if the temperature in your living space is below normal?
If central heating does not provide the standard temperature in residential premises, it means that the service is of poor quality.
The procedure for dealing with this situation is provided for by the Rules for the provision of public services. The owner of the apartment should report the violation to the emergency dispatch service of the management organization in writing or by telephone. The dispatcher must register the request, and he must provide his full name, number and time of registration of the message. Upon receipt of the application, the management company conducts an inspection, having agreed on the time with the owner of the premises.
Based on the results of the inspection, a report is drawn up. If the fact of providing a low-quality service is established, then the report indicates what violations were identified, what methods and tools were used to measure, and the date and time of the inspection. All persons participating in the survey sign the document, 1 copy remains with the owner. If a dispute arises between the owner and representatives of the management organization who are conducting the inspection regarding the quality of the space heating service, then a repeat inspection is carried out with the participation of a representative of the State Housing Inspectorate and a public association of consumers.
In the event that the management company did not carry out the inspection within the required time frame, the owner has the right to draw up an act of checking the quality of heating in the premises in the presence of the chairman of the HOA and two neighbors. Based on the inspection report, the owner has the opportunity to demand a recalculation of the heating fee. To do this, you should send a claim to the management organization and attach a copy of the act to it.
The management company is obliged to eliminate all identified violations and ensure that the service is provided in full and of appropriate quality. To do this, representatives of the management company again conduct an inspection of the premises, based on the results of which a report should be drawn up again.
Thus, consumers, having information about the standard temperature in residential premises, can demand that management organizations comply with these standards. To receive quality public services, it is necessary that each owner defends his rights and personally participates in putting things in order in the housing and communal services sector. To protect their rights, homeowners can apply not only to the court, but also to public consumer associations.
Options for planning furniture solutions for the kitchen
Modern and fashionable Ikea kitchens are a guarantee of saving the family budget and are valued not only for their affordable cost and quality, but also for their choice in layout.

Angular arrangement
The standard and most common layout method is a corner or L-shaped layout of kitchen furniture.
It allows you to compactly install a wall in which you can easily integrate a standard set of household appliances combined with storage units.
At the same time, free space is preserved for eating, and in some cases, creating an independent dining area.
Linear layout
This layout is more suitable for large rooms, but it can also be used in small kitchens, where you can limit yourself to a minimum number of storage modules and household appliances.
This way you can save space for a full dining area.

U-shaped layout
This layout method is used when it is necessary to place the maximum number of household appliances and storage spaces, taking into account window openings. Both open shelves and standard kitchen cabinets can act as hanging modules.
This is especially beneficial in large square-shaped kitchens, since this arrangement of modules leaves a lot of space in the middle of the room.
You can distribute it at your discretion - leave it for free movement or organize a dining area if there is no separate room for this purpose.
PAX planner: set dimensions and choose design
PAX can be planned independently in the planner program, or with a specialist when visiting a store. The good thing about the second method is that a specialist can give you some advice or warn you against mistakes in planning. The first one will please those who do not have the opportunity to visit the store, because... IKEA is not available in all cities of Russia and CIS countries.
This is what the scheduler interface looks like on the website. On the right is the main menu where you can set different sizes and configurations.
The price will depend on the content and dimensions. The most expensive will be tall cabinets with glass doors or veneer fronts. Panels on sliding doors made of fiberboard are the most budget-friendly.
Internal filling
The project above is exactly my closet. And this is what it looks like in reality.
Frame sizes
Although IKEA claims that this wardrobe system allows you to assemble a wardrobe for almost any room, the size and capabilities of PAX are still limited.
In the catalog you can choose only 2 types of height and 2 depths:
- Height: 201 or 236 cm;
- Depth: 35 or 58 cm.
Narrow cabinet with a depth of 35 cm Full-size, with a frame depth of 68 cm
The width is also not so simple. There are only three standards:
- 50 cm;
- 75 cm;
- 100 cm.
I wanted to install PAX not only in the room, but also in the hallway for outerwear. But precisely because of the width, we had to look for other options for arranging the hallway.
Corner
The PAX system allows you to assemble a corner or U-shaped wardrobe option. To do this, you need to purchase a special module.
Unfortunately, IKEA does not currently have options for frames with a beveled corner. And, in my opinion, it looks more beautiful with a right angle. Although, perhaps, a corner wardrobe in the shape of a trapezoid is more convenient to use.
Doors: hinged and sliding
Sliding ones save space, but from personal experience I will say that it is inconvenient to dress alone with such a wardrobe: while one half is open, access to the other is closed.
But in a small apartment or in a narrow corridor, there aren’t really any other options besides sliding doors.
But there are more design options among swing designs.
Internal filling
The interior arrangement and organization of storage is a separate delight. For this I am ready to endlessly praise IKEA.
Everything is thought out to the smallest detail:
- shelves can be installed at any height convenient for you;
- built-in lighting (to get dressed normally, you don’t need to turn on the lights in the entire room and wake up your household, this is super humane in relation to the husband sleeping in the room, who gets up for work an hour or two later);
- clothes rails (stationary and retractable);
- retractable trouser hangers,
- pull-out shelves for shoes;
- retractable baskets;
- boxes, hanging bags;
- drawers and drawers;
- and much, much more.
This is simply paradise for those who love order and functionality!
Open wardrobes PAX
A large dressing room is every woman's dream. And with IKEA’s open storage system, you can get closer to your dream by organizing a mini version of it in the pantry, for example. Or under the stairs.
And if the size of the bedroom allows, then you can build a partition from plasterboard, organizing storage behind it.
Current color solutions
When making furniture and fittings, Ikea uses soft tones that go well with both bright and calmer shades.
The neutrality of colors allows you to embody the most original ideas, since facades made in this style of color scheme harmoniously combine with any interior.
The best kitchens from Ikea have the following color options:
The classic style, made in snow-white tones, has been and will be popular at all times. Glossy or matte facades with a smooth or textured white surface are combined with any background, while visually expanding the space.
Beige tones are no less popular. They look great with fittings in brighter colors of the same tone, which gives greater contrast, thereby making the furniture stand out from the general background.
Shades of blue are trending this season. Deep shades combined with a base color scheme of lighter tones are suitable for large to medium sized kitchens.
For lovers of a strict, dramatic style, kitchen sets made in dark colors are perfect. Such facades go well with metallic shades and mirror surfaces.
People with unlimited imagination and design taste can combine modules of different colors or tones. This way you can create a bright, dynamic design.
Small details and designer fittings are important when choosing kitchen furniture. They help complement and emphasize the image being created.
Smooth
Smooth ones are suitable for most modern styles. For the most part, the catalog presents universal and neutral options - white, gray. But periodically, IKEA offers new items - bright colored facades that can become the main accent of the interior. Let's see what we can choose.
White
There is a lot of debate about white kitchens, in particular about its impracticality in everyday life. But there are many housewives who will confirm that white facades do not get dirty any more often, and dirt is noticeable and also unattractive on any other colored doors.
White, in addition, has other significant advantages. Light facades can seem to dissolve furniture in the interior, which is especially important for small rooms.
Among the white kitchens of the “Method” system are “Ringult”, “Vokstorp” with integrated handles”, “Weddinge”, “Häggeby”.
"Voxtorp" "Weddinge"
"Haggebi"
"Ringult"
Gray
Another basic and no less popular color than white for kitchen design. Among the smooth gray series:
"Vokstorp" with integrated (hidden) handles;
Bottom of the kitchen with gray Vokstorp fronts
"Bodarp" in a beautiful gray-green shade;
“Ringult” - light gray glossy;
“Vorsta” stainless steel shade;
“Vorsta” in combination with “Askersund”
Under the tree
The facades of “Askersund”, “Edserum”, Vokstorp”, “Torhamn”, “Ekestad” have a beautiful imitation of natural material and a pleasant wood shade. Among these series there are options for both light and dark wood - shades of dark brown ash, walnut.
"Voxtorp"
"Torhamn"
"Edserum"
I like the light ones “Askersund” the most. By the way, they are one of the most budget-friendly. Perfectly combined with white smooth facades.
Top row of kitchen with "Ekestad"
“Ekestad” has a very beautiful texture and shade, but the cost of the set will be higher than average, since the edge of the door is framed by a solid oak frame.
An interesting option is “Torhamn”, the peculiarity of which is the material – solid ash covered with transparent varnish. You can’t imagine a more ideal option for an eco-style kitchen.
Solid wood facades are certainly more expensive, but such a kitchen can last for years. And if you also take into account that wood can be restored, the kitchen can change its design to suit your heart’s desire. The set can be repainted or sanded and re-coated with clear varnish.
"Ekestad"
Black
I am the “lucky” owner of a black Tingsrid kitchen from IKEA. Although the black turned out to be not so black in reality, but rather dark brown. But black wine has absolutely every drop and even a small fingerprint. In general, a black set is impractical. This series is now out of print, although it may come back.
The Kungsbakka kitchen has an unusual appearance.
"Kungsbacka"
The smooth matte anthracite doors seemed rather impractical to me when I touched them in the showroom. But I could be wrong. They look impressive, of course. To prevent the interior with such a set from being gloomy and dull, add more wooden surfaces. For example, in the design of a tabletop, dining table.
And the inserts of open frames and wood-look shelves also look beautiful, as in the photo below. IKEA has these wine racks and wine cabinets. Although I would store more than just wine there.
The Judevalla doors, on which you can write with crayons, deserve special attention. In my opinion, it is better to combine them with white ones and not get too carried away with drawing. A recipe for your favorite lemonade on one door will be more than enough.
Colored
Among the smooth ones, there are not many colored facades - only the glossy blue “Ersta” and red “Kallarp”. Both will require a discreet, neutral apron - for example, from hog tiles.
"Kallarp" Blue "Ersta" are used only for cabinet doors. Size range is limited
Stylistics of the 2021 collection
Without delving into the style, all furniture from the new line can be divided into two categories - modern and classic kitchens. The first is distinguished by the fact that most of the kitchen facades are made in a minimalist style.
Such models are distinguished by their functionality and conciseness. This style is characterized by furniture elements with a smooth matte or mirror surface.
As for the classics, the style itself also has more modern trends. Monograms, carved and forged elements faded into the background.
This is due to the design and modernization of modern household appliances, which have a quite decent appearance and do not spoil the interior.
In this regard, many kitchen sets are equipped with transparent glass inserts, doors and shelves.
Dishwasher fronts
An excellent way to disguise a dishwasher in a general row of cabinets is front panels from Ikea, imitating ordinary doors or drawer lids ranging from 2 to 4. For most series in the store’s assortment, you can easily choose a suitable front:
- Vokstorp - light beige gloss;
- Sevedal - white chipboard pediment with simple country-style panels;
- Torkham - the same rustic style, but the panels are already made of natural ash wood, coated with clear varnish;
- Filipstad - a chic paneled facade made of fiberboard on a wooden frame, veneered with oak;
- Häggeby - white and almost invisible “drawers” on this panel will fit perfectly into a minimalist interior, where all modules are equipped with handle-less fronts.
- Ekestad - laconic veneer panels look simply flawless thanks to the natural shade of oak wood.
When choosing kitchen fronts in the Ikea catalog, immediately decide on the type and design of the fittings. This applies not only to handles, on which the appearance of your interior will depend, but also to hidden hinges. For example, you can do without overhead fittings altogether if all facades are equipped with closers and built-in push opening mechanisms.
