If you’re thinking of updating your kitchen, the IKEA Veddinge is a collection of durable lacquered doors and drawer fronts that add a smooth and seamless touch and modern aesthetic. These cabinets feature a simple, sleek design that makes them extremely easy to clean, and they’re known for their moisture and stain-resistant properties.

When it comes to affordable kitchen designs, use these beautiful IKEA Veddinge fronts in white or gray as inspiration to help you create your very own custom IKEA kitchen.

White Cabinets with Black Handles Pop

In this example, the smooth white cabinets are accented by ultra-modern black hardware that helps everything stand out. A casual dining table rests against the opposite wall, and the rust-colored floral wallpaper brings a whimsical element to the space.

Installing white cabinets is a smart choice for smaller rooms like this, since it gives a sense of openness and makes the kitchen look and feel larger than it is. The large window at the end of the room also helps by flooding the space with natural light.

Elevate Your Kitchen with Light Gray

Design a Calm, Earthy Cooking Space with Neutral Hues

These white IKEA Veddinge cabinets work beautifully with the sand-colored paint, light hardwood floors, and tan curtains. All of the drawers have simple matching hardware, so they blend in nicely with the rest of the space.

A wood butcher block countertop also ties the earthy elements and color scheme together beautifully, while a potted plant, some freshly cut flowers, and a few decorative plates on the wall give the kitchen a subtle splash of delightful colour.

Add Contrasting Components to a Simple Modern Kitchen

This kitchen also features the IKEA Veddinge cabinets in light gray, but black and gold accents give it a bold, contemporary touch. From the black cane dining chairs to the dramatic black and brass chandelier hanging from the ceiling, every element in this kitchen works well with the next.

The white subway tile walls and backsplash help to make the soft blue, black, and brilliant brass tones all stand out. Dark gray and white marble countertops round out the look for a warm finishing touch.

Use Light Cabinet Colors in a Large Kitchen

When designing a kitchen, consider the layout and how much space you have. This gorgeous kitchen features light tones, including light gray Veddinge cabinets with shimmering brass knob and handle hardware for a whimsical, modern touch.

The white ceramic subway tile covers all of the walls, and the subtle gray color on the solid granite countertops gives everything just the right amount of contrast without being overbearing. Even the wood flooring is featured in a natural ultra-light finish, so that every element remains in harmony rather than competing against the other.

Focus on Small Details for a Standout Cooking Space

Design a Desert-Inspired Oasis

The light, sandy brown hue of this kitchen brings it an earthy, desert-inspired appeal. Matching tones throughout make it appear neat and clean while still telling a distinct color story.

The bright white subway tile backsplash stands out, but not too much. Subtle brown and light tan hues adorn the space, including on the Veddinge cabinets, the light fixtures, countertops, and even the artwork on the wall.

Play with Patterns

Although IKEA Veddinge cabinets are specifically designed to have a sleek and simplistic look, you can still add a pop of pattern to your kitchen revamp. The white and tan checkered tile floor, along with the simple, chic subway tile, adds a sense of whimsy, texture, and playfulness to the room.

Kitchens don’t just have to be utilitarian. They can also be a place where family and friends gather to dine and make lasting memories for years to come.

Make Your Kitchen Modern with Linear Shapes

Thanks to their sleek and seamless design, these cabinets from IKEA add a minimalist touch to any cooking space. Here, the vertical lines of the cabinets seem to play with the lines in the large window, creating a sense of symmetry and cohesiveness.

A simple granite countertop brings the room another element of sophistication, and the light tones add to the openness, sharing space with the dining table and chairs.

Go Oversized for Maximum Storage

In this kitchen, the oversized Veddinge white drawers provide an abundance of storage, and silver brushed nickel hardware brings them a sleek finishing touch. The lack of a lot of upper cabinets allows the black industrial-style lighting installed directly above the sink to shine.

A stainless steel vent hood and appliances complement the hardware. Gray and white solid surface countertops tie it all together, while one wall features a light green paint color to create a distinct backdrop.

Create a Classic with a White and Gray Kitchen

White is an iconic color, especially in kitchens. If you prefer your home to be more traditional, go with all-white Veddinge cabinets, countertops, and a matching backsplash.

The walls and ceiling here are also white, but the lighter-colored wood floors, gray cabinet fronts, and wood dining furniture bring in a touch of additional texture and warmth. Subtle splashes of green throughout the space also breathe more life into the room, giving it a subtle earthy component.

Install a Pantry Instead of Upper Cabinets

Smaller kitchens that are short on space look larger without too many upper cabinets, like the design seen here. The white tile goes from the countertops all the way to the ceiling, drawing the eye upward, and the only thing on this section of the wall is the sleek stainless steel hood fan.

A tall Veddinge cabinet to one side serves as a pantry, while plenty of lower drawers offer more than enough storage for cooking and dining.

Install Upper Open Shelving

In this unique, large L-shaped kitchen, the designer chose to add open upper shelves rather than more cabinets. Doing this keeps the space open and airy, along with the extra-large window that lets light flood into the room.

Pops of color like the orange pendant light, green plants, and blue metal shelving give this charming kitchen a splash of whimsical appeal.
