Granite may be a popular choice for countertops, but wood is building momentum.

These Ikea Pinnarp countertops cash in on this style, with a natural-looking ash countertop with a visible grain. They look so good, you'd never know they had particleboard underneath! This structure makes them highly durable and perfect for hardworking kitchens.

Instead of opulent chef's kitchens, people are shifting to more pared-down, almost restaurant-inspired looks for their kitchens. The new Råskog bar stool from Ikea lets you easily incorporate this design style into your kitchen.
