Dear 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

Sundsvall30 Apr 2016 00:42Yes, I can imagine that. Although it is just a small door to the pantry. The tall cabinet is actually a leftover from the initial planning when the extractor hood was still positioned in the center of the kitchen run, and the same number of tall cabinets were planned on both the left and right sides.

IKEA-Profi30 Apr 2016 07:23Doesn't the planner say that no sink should be that close to the edge? There is probably no warranty on the countertop (and sink?) if there isn’t at least a 10cm (4 inches) clearance between the sink and the edge of the countertop. 🙁This is not about warranties, but about avoiding scraping your elbows when actually using the sink due to the small clearance! 😉
