Brief overview of the article
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.
Modular systems
The practicality of modular systems lies in the fact that they will make even a tiny kitchen practical. Having calculated the dimensions of the IKEA kitchen, you can assemble it yourself, following the detailed instructions. The photo shows real IKEA kitchens assembled on a modular basis.
Dimensions:
- Base height - 8 cm;
- wardrobe "Maximera" - height 88 cm;
- drawer sizes - 2-, 40, 60, 80 cm;
- the height of the modules installed on the floor is 60 and 80 cm.
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.
New household appliances and accessories
A new product for 2022 will help you maintain your style—a black faucet made of metallized brass “Tollsjön.” The work area can be illuminated with steel Hektar lamps in the same color. And the black “Mattradition” hood will not only decorate your kitchen, but also save you from unnecessary odors, smoke and burning.
If you have already appreciated the convenience and speed of cooking on an induction hob, you will be pleasantly surprised - IKEA has released an induction hob with a built-in hood. This mix not only looks stylish and modern, but is also very convenient, because, thanks to the new Ferdelaktig design, the space above the stove remains free. This allows you to cook on the kitchen island.
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.
Materials for production
The furniture frame elements are made of chipboards, which immediately classifies it as a budget furniture, although the manufacturer guarantees 25 years of impeccable service.
The weak point of any furniture is the fastening system. In IKEA sets, the hinges, closers, and grooves for moving rollers are of high quality, which allows cabinet doors and drawers in Hitarp kitchens to maintain ease of movement for more than a decade.
The façade material is fiberboard. The coating is acrylic and polyester paint. The glass in the wall cabinet is made using tempering technology. The back wall is made of durable hardboard.
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.
What kind of kitchens does IKEA have and what equipment do they have?
In general, all brand kitchens are divided into ready-made and modular. In the first case, everything is already collected, all you have to do is pay, bring it home and assemble it. On the one hand, this is simple, on the other hand, it does not take into account the characteristics of your apartment and the needs of your household.
You assemble a modular kitchen yourself or with the help of a consultant (we strongly recommend using the help of a professional) from many drawers. This takes into account the size of the room, all your desires and needs. During the development of the project, the kitchen can be immediately supplemented with built-in appliances by assembling a turnkey set.

Stylistics of the 2022 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.
White classic
In the 2022 IKEA kitchen catalog you will find both already beloved collections and interesting new items. Classic white kitchens are not losing ground.
The Knoxhult budget line offers both ready-made kitchen combinations for small spaces and a large assortment of floor and wall cabinets. The whiteness of the facades matches perfectly with the “natural wood” countertop. And there is no need to be afraid of unnecessary cleaning - the smooth surface is cleaned with one touch.
Thanks to the blank fronts and the variety of internal shelves, you can always keep your kitchen in perfect order. After all, there is a place for everything. And everything unnecessary is out of sight.
