Home idea with IKEA: a fresh take on a 30-years-old kitchen

About the kitchen in her apartment in Rakvere, Ines said: "My kitchen is as old as I am — even the ceiling lamp is about to fall down.

There are many ways to give even the smallest kitchen some serious style and make it feel more spacious than it is.

Organising kitchen cabinets and drawers

A glass cabinet in the dining area displays your favourite items, while pleasant lighting finishes off the modern design.
