Hello,
I want to buy a kitchen from Ikea, but I’m still not completely sure how I want to design it.
In the floor plan image, I have marked two walls in yellow that we want to remove. This means the kitchen and dining area will be in the lower part of the plan. Now I’m wondering how to install the kitchen. My girlfriend really wants a semi-kitchen island in the room — I’m not such a fan because I can only imagine food falling off the front and back — but well, that’s how it is.
I created three different kitchen layouts in the planner — at first, I’m mainly focused on the shape. The sink has to be in front of the window due to the plumbing connections. Tall cabinets along the left wall are not possible because the windows go all the way to the edge. At least one tall cabinet for the fridge is needed, but the oven doesn’t necessarily have to be positioned at eye level.
I understand that some doors in the “plans” won’t open properly — it’s only about the shape for now, then the solution finding 😀
Which layout do you think is best, or do you have any other ideas?

Uh, I know many people with open kitchens who cook—a lot.
Tidiness is subjective and doesn’t change whether a kitchen is open or closed.
I find a peninsula more practical as a workspace than an island, especially since peninsulas are usually deeper. It doesn’t limit activities like rolling out dough, for example.

Always choose cabinets as wide as possible; every additional cabinet increases costs and reduces storage space. However, with base cabinets, it’s important to consider that in small kitchens when more than one person is working, the following can happen: One person is at the cooktop. The second person wants to get something from the base cabinet. If this cabinet is very long, the person at the cooktop might have to step aside. I would therefore recommend dividing the cabinets thoughtfully and avoiding drawer units longer than 1 meter (3 feet).

Nice-Nofret1 Jan 2021 11:59I cook a lot together in my kitchen – I find base cabinets up to 1m (3 ft 3 in) wide great; however, I do not find 120cm (4 ft) wide cabinets practical for various reasons.

It was completely neutral and I didn’t intend to imply anything.
I just wanted to share what I heard in conversations.

We cook a lot and enjoy it – basically every day. I’m also not a huge fan of kitchen islands; I think they are just trendy at the moment.
Unfortunately, the floor plan itself has to stay as it is, since this isn’t a new build where we can change everything, but an existing house. We wouldn’t have the budget for major renovations that involve completely changing everything.
I like the idea of a U-shaped layout with some tall cabinets on the right side facing the living area.
