IKEA kitchen trends for autumn 2026 — clever storage and accessories in calming anthracite and duck egg blue, from £1

With autumn on the way, and the promise of cooler weather ahead, it’s a great time to refresh your kitchen so it’s a cosier, more welcoming place on cold evenings. Shades of deep anthracite teamed with soft duck egg blue and natural wood create a look that’s warm yet modern, and as TechRadar’s Homes Editor, I’ve picked out a selection of IKEA cooking and storage solutions in these shades for an instant update. Giving your kitchen a lift for autumn doesn’t have to be expensive, either; most of the items here are well under £10.

Storage items like cutlery caddies, drawer organisers, and knife racks are often overlooked, but are some of the easiest and cheapest ways to add a new accent colour to your kitchen. Also take a look at IKEA’s ranges of coloured cutlery, which will bring that new shade to every meal and make your place settings look strikingly different.
