Sundsvall28 Apr 2016 22:26Dear Forum,
I’m happy to have found you and have been reading with great interest for the past two days. This is my first time planning a kitchen, and I have a few questions.
The kitchen space is unfortunately not very large and has three doors (next to the ovens leading to the hallway, opposite to the balcony, and on the long side to the pantry, where the refrigerator will also be placed). The area opposite the kitchen cabinets should be kept free for a table.
1. Is it a problem that the oven and the combination oven are placed directly next to the wall? I understand it’s not ideal because the wall basically gets heated. But if I want the ovens at chest/waist height, I see few alternatives.
2. What type of crown or decorative molding is typically used if the cabinet fronts are Bodbyn in ivory white? I only see Bodbyn in gray.
3. How can I choose the cabinet front under the sink so that I only have one (the bottom) drawer but the front looks divided into three parts (like the rest of the base cabinets to the left)?
4. My gas connection will be installed next to the water connection. Is the hose that connects the cooktop to the gas supply included, or do I need to buy it separately?
Apart from that, I welcome any comments, criticism, or alternative suggestions, as this first self-designed kitchen is quite a daunting project.
Thank you very much,
Sundsvall

2.) Förbättra
3.) I’m not sure if the planner supports this, but the staff at the home furnishing store can adjust it when you buy.
4.) Judging by the assembly instructions, you can assume that nothing is included and the gas technician will need to bring the pipe.

Hi,
in the planner, you can customize each individual cabinet on the right under "customize," and even assign handles to each individual drawer, etc.
At first glance, your layout seems to be missing the recommended main work surface between the sink and the stove. Also, such a wide built-in sink cannot be installed so close to the edge because, to the right of it, there appears to be no countertop left to install it into (at least it looks that way in the picture).
For IKEA stoves, the description already states that no cables are included.

Schmidti8229 Apr 2016 06:45Hello,
what you definitely need is an exact floor plan showing all connections.
Also, you will be told that Ikea is only cheaper if you assemble the kitchen yourself.
A few notes on your design.
For the base cabinets, I would either move the 40cm (16 inch) cabinet from the left to the middle, next to the dishwasher.
That way, you get more workspace between the sink and the stove, and you could use the 40cm (16 inch) cabinet as a base cabinet with a waste sorting system.
Or instead of the two 60cm (24 inch) and one 40cm (16 inch) cabinets, you take two 80cm (32 inch) cabinets, which is cheaper and provides more storage space.
I would not choose so many—or maybe no—glass doors for the wall cabinets. Except for dishes, and these shouldn’t be too colorful or too many, otherwise nothing really looks good there.

IKEA-Experte29 Apr 2016 13:50In the picture, I don’t see a refrigerator. Is it placed separately on another wall?
Is there a gap between the tall cabinet and the wall? There always needs to be some space to allow doors and drawers to open properly. Additionally, I think having more elbow room would be practical. When taking a hot tray out of the oven, you shouldn’t be restricted by anything.
Out of necessity, I also installed my sink close to the edge of the countertop against a wall, but that’s not very practical (probably less of an issue with a wider sink) and with a laminated wood countertop, the strip is definitely too thin.
