ᐅ Feedback on the Ikea Kitchen

Created on: 10 Nov 2015 22:28

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

Someone will come again tomorrow, so my wife will probably mention again that they need to make some adjustments here.

Looks good, and fine-tuning it should not be a problem.

I would also like to have the Berbel, but I'm still too stingy for such a bulky unit... I really like it.

For us, it was somewhat of a "last resort" solution because a 90cm (35 inch) hood wouldn’t have fit. We paid an extra 900 € for the Neff DSG.

Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about the performance yet, as the kitchen was only fully completed yesterday.

This one is really good too, Sebastian, and definitely worth the money.
