IKEA LERHYTTAN
A Modern Twist on Classic Charm: Norfolk Open Concept Kitchen
This open-concept kitchen is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can transform a space into the centerpiece of a home. With IKEA’s LERHYTTAN doors in a rich, dark finish, accented by black handles and a matching faucet, the cabinetry sets a bold foundation. To balance the depth of the cabinets, the homeowners chose crisp white countertops and a matching white subway tile backsplash – creating a timeless contrast that feels both modern and classic.
Adding warmth and personality, the island base is finished in sage green – a fresh trend in interior design that introduces a subtle splash of color. This detail softens the room’s strong contrasts and infuses it with character, proving that small touches can completely redefine a space.
High-end appliances elevate the kitchen’s functionality to professional standards. The BOSCH refrigerator, dishwasher, wall oven–microwave combo, and range hood provide durability and cutting-edge performance. For the cooktop, the homeowners selected a THERMADOR model with its signature star-shaped burners, designed for even heat distribution and precision cooking.
The combination of form and function shines here: dark cabinetry with sleek black hardware, balanced by light countertops and backsplash, anchored by the sage green island and tied together with premium appliances. It’s a kitchen where cooking is anything but boring – an inspiring space designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings.
This kitchen was installed in Virginia Beach, VA and is enjoyed by humans and cats!
