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 kitchen studio called again and is now offering the kitchen for €10,600.
Does anyone know the pull-out cabinets for the yellow recycling bag from Nolte?

We also visited another studio today based on our painter’s recommendation – curious to see what comes of it; the appointment will continue tomorrow. A Systemat kitchen is being planned.

I’m not familiar with that, but as someone who has had bad experiences with the “yellow bag” system, I recommend getting a separate trash bin for this purpose. It’s cheaper and, in my opinion, more practical than using a cabinet for it.

But where should we put it? We don’t really have any suitable corners... My father suggested the utility room, but having to go there every time you want to dispose of a milk carton?

We have three trash bins under the sink: one for general waste, another for paper recycling, and the third for the yellow bag recycling (plastic packaging). These are emptied twice a week (or as needed) – the contents of the yellow bag bin are taken to the utility room near the dishwasher holder. It’s relatively narrow, so it fits everywhere and can be moved around easily. Otherwise, the planned MOPL (or whatever it’s called) probably won’t look much different?!

Happy holidays,
Yvonne

That’s somewhat the question – it’s probably the full cabinet height and 30cm (12 inches) wide. Somehow, a metal bucket that holds 40 liters (10.6 gallons) is placed on it. Unfortunately, with Nolte, there isn’t a separate front panel, so it would look like this:

Küchenzeile mit Holzarbeitsplatten, Spüle unter dem Fenster, Induktionskochfeld und weißen Schränken

So, we also have three smaller bins: general waste, recyclables for the yellow bag, and organic waste. The containers / holders for the yellow bag are located in the garage.
