Story
Smart storage provides flow in the kitchen
You've also probably experienced this: coming home tired after a long day, knowing that both you and the rest of the family need food as soon as possible. But there are tricks that help make cooking easier. With our wall-mounted kitchen storage series KUNGSFORS, utensils, spices and recipes have their given places on the wall instead of being spread out on the kitchen worktop. With a bit of pioneering we managed to make the wall brackets nicely hidden, too.
When starting to work with KUNGSFORS, we turned to chef and cookbook writer Maximilian Lundin for inspiration. "There are a lot of practical things to be learned from a restaurant kitchen,” says Maximilian. “Like having utensils and ingredients easily accessible so that you have a good flow when cooking, and have plenty of space on the kitchen worktop."
Furnish the kitchen wall
With the help of Maximilian, our product development team created shelves, grids and rails that you either mount directly to the wall or on special suspension rails where you easily complete and move things around without having to drill new holes in the wall. The rails have room for hooks meant for all the utensils, and also room for the special shelf where you can place a tablet with the dinner recipe at eye's level.
Simplifies cooking
The series is made up of many different products and the project required both time and patience from all involved. The team engineer David Zeberg looks back on the work. "One of the challenges was to make the wall brackets of the rails hidden. But I love projects where we do something pioneering and have to test boundaries before finding the solution." For the chef Maximillian, who is passionate about good food, it was a whole new experience to be involved in influencing people's kitchens ─ the environment where food is cooked. "The positive thing was that everyone in the team was so ambitious about ensuring that KUNGSFORS would help to simplify cooking", says Maximillian.

How to make your kitchen functional and sustainable
Your kitchen is the heart of your home. How it performs and how it looks are two important factors. Even though doors and drawer fronts are the main style decision you make when updating your kitchen, don’t forget to pay attention to other important details that can make your kitchen more functional, efficient and sustainable.
Make it smart from the start
The entrance area is the first and the last space we see in our home – it greets us as we enter and says goodbye when we leave. A harmonious interior helps to relax when stepping into home, but how can the entrance area contribute to the overall sustainability in your home? It is a great not only for storage but also for waste sorting systems. With several containers, you can create your own individual sorting system depending on the sorting rules in your country. A smart idea for homes with small kitchen and for more motivation to remember to bring the waste out!
One METOD for all your kitchen needs
When it comes to kitchens, we’re all different. We have different dreams, different needs and different preconditions. So, to meet this diversity, what could be better than a flexible METOD kitchen system? Whatever the size of your home or family, with cabinets in different sizes, drawers and interior organizers made to match, you can turn the kitchen of your dreams into the kitchen in your home.
Easy ways to respect food
A third of the world’s food supply is lost or wasted every day. Starting with some smart changes at home, together we can find ways to reduce waste, save money, and conserve more resources for the world.
This for that: more sustainable swaps
Can a better world begin at home? Yes! Can a better world begin with you? Absolutely. Does making better choices have to be difficult or overwhelming? Definitely not. On the path to a more sustainable life at home, there are many small changes that can add up to big change if we all do our bit. Here are just a few easy exchanges you can make, starting today.
Finding smart storage in unusual spaces
Unused (and perhaps unusual) spaces can be put to smart use for storage at home. You just need to find them. Under the sofa? Behind the bed? In the window? Or perhaps choose new furniture that has extra storage built in.
The heart and soul of every home
This episode of "Home idea with IKEA" takes us to a home of a dancer Beāte who is just as passionate about interior as she is about dance. She says that interior is like a choreography - an interior well executed likens a harmonious dance. The apartment, inherited from her grandmother, has been designed with much care and love, allowing Beāte's love for all things retro to show. However, the kitchen has proved the hardest part, still sporting some 90's charm but without the functionality and comfort that the heart of each home deserves. IKEA interior designer Valērija will need all of her skill to transform this kitchen into a modern haven with a homey retro charm.
How to level up your laundry or mudroom
Heavy-duty areas of the home, like these, can easily become bogged down with things like grubby shoes and haven’t-had-a-chance-to-iron-them-yet piles of laundry. This traditional-style home shows how you can use storage to your advantage in these areas, with charming additions here and there to bring in a balance of both hard-working and good-looking.
The power of nature: an orangery and a kitchen in one
What is the most unusual room IKEA interior designers have worked with in "Home idea with IKEA"? From bedrooms to studios, to a tree house: every project has had its own challenges. Still, there has never been a room as unusual as this one. It is a kitchen and an orangery in one and an activity hub for the whole family. IKEA interior designer Katrīne will need all of her skill to make change happen in this space: a room where plant-lover Margita lets her passion free rein.
How to reduce food waste and save money in the kitchen
A lot of things go into a kitchen – food, energy, water – and a lot of waste comes out. However, a few smart choices will minimise traffic at both ends – and help you be kinder to both your wallet and the planet.
