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

EveundGerd14 Dec 2015 21:13I like both very much, but I prefer the mix from Nolte a little more.
However, why is the drawer missing under the cooktop in the Nolte design?
Regarding the splash guard: it should not be too low, and especially around the cooktop, it should be wider than the cooktop itself.
We made that mistake. We only realized it when our daughter was frying schnitzels, and the oil splattered a lot, leaving stains on the wallpaper.
Now, there is a large wooden cutting board standing against that wall.
Therefore, plan for at least 20 cm (8 inches) wider on each side.

EveundGerd14 Dec 2015 21:40All around at the same height? We also have it all around but at different heights, and we also have a glass print. It breaks up the look and isn’t very expensive at Nolte. Unfortunately, though, not by the stove but on the other wall.
