Hello,
we are planning to build a house, and I am one of those who plans every detail in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises later on. However, since it’s impossible to think of everything, I would appreciate your feedback and opinions on our kitchen layout. The background is that we already own an IKEA kitchen, and we want to integrate it as completely as possible and expand it with additional cabinets.
A brief explanation of where everything is located, as I believe it’s not entirely clear and partially inaccurate in the 3D view:
Wall line from left to right:
- Refrigerator with freezer compartment underneath
- Base cabinet for pots, pans, and other cooking essentials
- Cooktop with oven below and integrated range hood above
- Base cabinet for cooking utensils like spoons, etc.
- Sink, possibly with a drainer cabinet above or a regular cabinet
- Sink with drawer for sponge, cleaning supplies, and a drawer with bins for waste sorting
- Dishwasher
The kitchen island is mainly used for cutting, mixing, and preparing food, and includes several integrated power outlets. The cabinets store plates, dishes, bread, cereal, cups, cutlery — everything needed for any meal. On the front side, there is an extension with two power outlets for charging phones and for a raclette grill.

Your kitchen layout looks very similar to ours. I assume the door is meant to lead to a pantry. Maybe our designs and the finished result can help you with your planning.

The cabinet fronts and the countertops? Looks great.
