ᐅ Alternative options: Ikea Metod kitchen system / Domsjö sink / Skinande faucet combo

Hello everyone,

I’m just asking for some help here 🙂

Our first IKEA kitchen is assembled except for the combination mentioned above. Our problem is a unit consisting of a Domsjö sink including a Metod base cabinet, with a Skinande dishwasher right next to it. The challenge is that, due to space constraints, it must remain a standalone two-piece unit, meaning the sink on the left and the dishwasher immediately on the right. This is all positioned between a wall on the left and a door on the right.

Since the sink requires a countertop, my proposed solution is the following: attach a piece of countertop (about 5cm (2 inches)) on the left side of the base cabinet so the sink can be installed on top, and then install the countertop continuously on the right side of the base cabinet, extending flush to the outer edge of the dishwasher. Insert the sink, and cover the dishwasher on the right side with a cover panel.

Is something like this practical?

I would be very grateful for alternative suggestions.

Best regards
