I need an IKEA kitchen from 2040, now.
IKEA has a dream. And as it turns out, that dream is my dream too – Self-cleaning kitchen counters no less!!
According to a recent study, our collective dream of a future kitchen will be able to do all sorts of freaky and highly advanced things like reading our moods and suggesting recipes. It’s not surprising that people want their future kitchen to do all the work for them too. No doubt we’ll be just as lazy, if not more so in the future.
IKEA’s also concerned about environmental issues, so maybe they can come up with a way to turn food scraps into the energy that powers the retractable shelves – wouldn’t that be cool?
Apparently the dream of a self-cleaning kitchen is 30 years away from a reality though, which is way too long in my opinion. By the time I get my 3D food printer and holographic display on the oven, I could have grown children. Or even grandchildren.
I love it anyway though, and here are some things that would make me love it more:
- A refrigerator that will crowd-source what goes in it.
- A gizmo to alert me when I’ve had too much cake.
- A way for the kitchen to make me a romantic dinner (including candles and roses) all on it’s own.
What would you want it to do?

i definitely wouldn’t want it to tell me when i’d had too much cake. that is a mistake i’d like to keep making… i would, however, be grateful if i could clean my dishes for me. errr… actually that already exists, i need to get with the times.
