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

Hello,
my honest personal opinion is that for a saving of 2000€ (this does not yet include your planning work and the time you spend on it), I would definitely go to a professional retailer.
We had an excellent consultant and received a kitchen that fit our budget but also avoided all planning mistakes and included the ideas and experience of a professional advisor.
I would reconsider.

Take the window height as a reference. At least in this view.
Mirror the front cabinet, swap the 1st with the 3rd.
Honestly, I find the front too busy with the many drawers under the stove, but that may be a matter of taste.
However, I would definitely avoid the open area under the counter.

@ypg, these are only 3 extracts... but with framed fronts. Yes, three... but it doesn’t have an impact!
