ᐅ Feedback on the Ikea Kitchen

Hello everyone,
things are moving forward for us now. After visiting quite a few kitchen outlets in the past, we finally decided on IKEA. Mainly because it’s affordable – secondly, because the kitchen salespeople were almost driving me crazy in the end (a $1000 discount because the sun is shining…). IKEA doesn’t offer any consultation at all… not great either, but still better than that.
We were somewhat fixed on the layout because of the windows… now we are even more set because of the utility connections… The screed is already in place.
The cabinet fronts are Hyttan and Bodbyn – we will buy the appliances separately.
We thought the waste bin should be a pull-out unit under the sink.
A quick note about the tall cabinet row (since it’s not that visible) on the left side of the plan:
60cm (24 inches) cabinet, oven, 60cm (24 inches) cabinet, refrigerator, small freezer.

We would love to hear your opinion. Are there any things we absolutely should change? Since neither of us really has a sense for design, we would appreciate any tips or comments on that as well.
Thanks and best regards

The pull-out drawers under the sink can be used in a shortened version; these are also available at IKEA.

I mentioned this in another thread, but it fits well here: You will never actually use the counter (except in romantic fantasies) – especially if the dining table is positioned so close to it.

But the sink has a certain installation depth, and the short pull-out drawers don’t work in that case.

There are indeed pull-out drawers at Ikea designed for under the sink that are shorter or start slightly deeper inside.
The countertop is intended for the kids to have breakfast in the morning, as well as for two to three people to bake cookies together from different sides.
Consultation is available, but there is a two-hour waiting time.
Thank you for your comments; I will take them all into consideration.

I keep saying it: a romantic idea

Yes, there are shorter sections, but as far as I know, they are 37 cm (15 inches) deep. There are no shorter ones available.
