Hello,

I hope you can give me some tips on kitchen planning. I’m quite new to IKEA kitchens, but I already like their design.

For your information, the window behind the sink can still be moved if it makes sense.

I’m looking forward to your comments.

Best regards,

The number and arrangement of the cabinets depend on your needs. I haven't noticed anything particularly disadvantageous, except for the corner cabinet. With shelves inside and having to clear everything in front before reaching inside, I find it impractical. For corner cabinet solutions available, see my post in the DIY section.

It would also be possible to use 16 cm (6 inch) Capita legs with a panel in front, or, as you suggested, the plinth systems from, for example, so-handel.de.

I’m not sure how much the Skinande unit can be raised. A Siemens/Bosch XXL dishwasher with a Vario hinge can be adjusted up to 92.5 cm (36.4 inches). In that case, it would be sufficient to place the machine on a piece of countertop. Alternatively, placing it significantly higher on a 40 cm (16 inch) tall cabinet allows for loading and unloading dishes in a more back-friendly way.
