ᐅ Looking for Feedback on Ikea Metod and Bodbyn Kitchens

Good morning,

I am planning to order a Metod kitchen in the next few days and have already designed a layout.
Since I am a beginner in kitchen planning, I would appreciate any tips and feedback on what could be improved or done differently.
All base cabinets will have drawers.
The cabinet to the left of the oven will have a hinged door and inside, it will also have drawers.

The appliances I am using are:
Oven: Siemens HS658GXS6
Cooktop: Siemens EH675FN27E
Dishwasher: Neff S72P69X0EU XXL with a Vario hinge and cutlery drawer
Extractor hood: not decided yet, probably the Ikea Underverk
Refrigerator: already owned

Best regards,
Chris

Hello,

First, filler panels between the wall and the cabinets are missing. The gaps to the wall should be a bit larger. For example, you need to be able to open the tall cabinet door at least at a 90° angle to pull out the drawers.

I would skip the 20cm (8 inches) cabinet and instead use an 80cm (31 inches) cabinet under the cooktop, along with a wider cooktop. A 60cm (24 inches) cabinet gets crowded quickly. I have often been annoyed that I don’t have space for a wider cooktop.

The wall cabinets should then be aligned flush with the base cabinets.

An extractor hood with a grease separation efficiency of 66% would be too low for me.

Thanks first of all.

With an 80cm (31.5 inch) cooktop, I’m afraid there won’t be much workspace available.

For space reasons, I’ve already omitted the draining area on the sink.

An 80cm (31.5 inch) cooktop definitely looks much better, you’re right about that.

Now with an 80cm (31.5 inches) cooktop.
But now I no longer have the 20cm (7.9 inches) pull-out cabinet where I could store bottles (olive oil, acetone, etc.).
Of course, it looks better this way.

You can store the bottles in a tall pull-out unit with a divider.

Is the sink too small?
