I am inspired by this link above - our kitchen is large and v bright (one wall all glass and large roof lantern) so can take it....I would love to have a Henrybuilt - like the simplicity.

Anyone else going for this look an want to share notes / thoughts?

I've just got an IKEA Kungsbacka kitchen with wooden worktops. I love it so far, although it's early days!

This one

Stunning....did you go with the IKEA kungsbacka handles and did you paint your walls/splash back black as well? Any pics?

No pics yet, will post some once the splash back is in- I went with a very gaudy wallpaper splashback from Kitchen walls, which I appreciate isn't to everyone's taste. I'd have done black otherwise. Went with the short kungsbacka handles, wasn't keen on the long ones or the leather ones.

OMG - are you me? I have chosen this wallpaper in orange
-- too timid for kitchen - so thinking utility

--- and same decision for the handles - just the short ones.

What wood did you go for ? and did you have to tie in with wooden table / floors / chairs / stools?

Here is a f&b off black matt lacquer with white/window seat at the other end

That's so funny, another20- or maybe we're just hopelessly influenced by the same Pinterest boards

I really like the contrast of that paper with the black kitchen if you're brave enough to do it- I say go for it!

I ended up with an oak laminate as budget was a big factor- although I have to say it looks pretty good. If I was going for real wood I'd get something like the first pic I posted, honey/teak tones.

No wood matching needed- have gone for cork flooring which has the same tones as the worktop

Oh I love that Diseno - where are your units from and your floor?

tethersend - I am concerned about real wood work tops from a practical point of view.....was thinking laminate or quartz on work tops near sink and hob and real wood for island for minimise the issue?

Go for it! Matt Black works well for both a modern and traditional look I think, especially in a bright space. That said, when colour hunting, we looked at several near-black kitchens in otherwise relatively dark rooms that worked just as well.
We went for a more traditional look - matt very dark grey..

park never thought of it for traditional -- looks spectacular.....love the wooden floors with it.

Looking great!
What color code was used to paint the wall? I'd like to know the Kungsbaca anhracite grey color code so that I can do something similar....

Many thanks,
Sam

Bumping up an old thread but I really want to know the quality of this kitchen.

I've have a kitchen design tomorrow and was really looking at the kungsbacka kitchen but I've read a few reviews and it was rated 1 by many, with a lot of people saying they can't get it clean and it looks terrible after several months.

@tethersend: would you mind to share what make/type of cork flooring you installed in your kitchen and how did you find it cleaning/maintaining? I was not there is only one type of cork flooring suitable for kitchens.
