I think the list itself is good 🙂 But I’m still missing an overview of how many drawers there are and which handles you have (tip-on? recessed handles?). Are there only top views or also side views?

By the way, you have very little countertop space between the sink and the stove on the island. Don’t you want to make the island a bit wider? How much space is there exactly?

The island is too small for both the sink and cooktop. The main work surface is between them and is barely present in your plan.

Yes, I was thinking the same... However, you can also use the countertop along the kitchen wall for prep work. There you have 2m (6.5 ft) of workspace.

There is also the option to place the sink in the kitchen counters or to widen the island by up to 60cm (24 inches).

Actually, I don’t think it’s a good deal. Our kitchen is bigger: Bora Pure X, Miele steam oven, Miele warming drawer, Miele oven, Miele dishwasher, large Blanco sink with pull-out faucet, Siemens refrigerator 1.80m (5 ft 11 in), ceramic cooktop. €27,000.
Still, I believe the price is reasonable.

How many linear meters of kitchen cabinets do you have? When and where did you buy? Large chain or local supplier?

Planned with edge grips. I think the 3D view will be available during the actual video planning session.

See my answer to @opalau 🙂

Another option is to install the sink within the kitchen counter or to widen the kitchen island by up to 60cm (24 inches).

Planned with recessed handles. I think the 3D rendering will be available during the actual video planning meeting.

I’m not very familiar with how to measure linear kitchen meters. Should I simply measure the length of the furniture? Meaning counters and cabinet walls?

You don’t have that either, coffee machine, coffee/kitchen appliances, etc. ... and you’re always facing away from the room 😉. ... which is what you want to avoid with an island.

Make sure to have the interior layout explained according to their plan. Drawers are expensive, so sometimes only shelves are planned instead. It’s best if you specify exactly what you need. It’s also useful to know how wide the cabinet carcasses are. It’s better to have fewer, wider ones.

Exactly. For a kitchen island, basically double that length if it is at least 120cm (47 inches) wide.

You don’t count appliances like coffee machines, coffee makers, etc., and you often end up with your back to the room 😉. That’s what an island setup usually tries to avoid.

Very good point. I hadn’t considered that. :-)

It’s best that you specify exactly what you need. Also, it’s interesting to know how wide the carcasses are. Better to have wider ones but fewer in number.

Great tip. I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks! 🙂
