Our kitchen taps come in a wide range of styles, but there's more to them than that. They save you money, too. Each has as a little device that mixes in air with the flow so you use less water, which is good for your wallet and the whole planet.
How to use less water – without even trying
Of all the water in the world, less than 3% is fresh. So, the careful use of it makes sense – financially and environmentally. Happily, some modern products can do the water-saving for you.Every time you rinse salad, fill a kettle or wash dishes, you're helping with something essential—saving water. How? Thanks to the small aerator in every IKEA kitchen mixer tap that reduces water flow while maintaining pressure. We didn't invent aerators, but think they are an important example of how we can work together to save water for everyone's benefit.

Home idea with IKEA: a kitchen in the attic
How can irregularly arranged rooms be designed to be both comfortable and functional? It’s a question many loft dwellers likely ponder. This is also the case in this kitchen, where the family has been wishing for a more practical layout. IKEA interior designer Zane is here to share her tips, demonstrating how to plan a kitchen that thoughtfully considers the unique features of the space.
Small on space, big on storage
There are many ways to give even the smallest kitchen some serious style and make it feel more spacious than it is. Use clever storage solutions to stow away things when they’re not in use and, if possible, try a simple design trick: white fronts reflect light and help create the illusion of a bigger space.
Organising kitchen cabinets and drawers
This is pure harmony in the shape of a small kitchen. Sleek fronts, hiding practical storage, follow a straight line across the room, and the integrated handles add to the smooth look. A glass cabinet in the dining area displays your favourite items, while pleasant lighting finishes off the modern design.
