ᐅ Feedback on the Ikea Kitchen

Created on: 10 Nov 2015 22:28

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

I would find this corner inconvenient. I would prefer to extend the countertop around the corner and omit one row of tall cabinets. Instead, I would install a double wall-mounted shelf.

By "a row," do you mean on a tall cabinet?

Something like this:

Modern kitchen with wood fronts, kitchen island, sink, cooktop, oven, and window.

Yes, exactly, that looks more coherent to me. If you need the space, you can add a wall cabinet.

Here again with tall cabinets:

Kitchen rendering: wooden fronts, L-shaped countertops, sink, range hood, built-in oven.

I think the last version is the best! Everyday appliances like a kettle, coffee maker, toaster, etc., fit perfectly under the wall cabinets. I would then use the wall cabinets for glasses, cups, and similar items. The dishwasher will be installed elevated in the tall cabinet section, right?
Oh, and I would also hang a wall cabinet to the left of the extractor hood for herbs, storage containers, and such...
