Hello everyone,
we have finally finished planning our kitchen.
Now I am thinking about the layout of the front side of the island:
Currently planned as 80-80-80, with the cooktop and downdraft extractor flush-mounted.
Each cabinet has 3 drawers: two shallow ones and one deep one at the bottom. Below the cooktop is a panel.
My concerns: Where should the oil and vinegar go? In an upper cabinet above the sink?
Placement of pots, pans, and lids?
Right now, all pots are crammed into a 60cm (24 inches) drawer, all pans are stored in the oven (which is annoying), and all lids are in another 60cm (24 inches) drawer next to the potatoes and onions.
ALTERNATIVE island layout:
100-100-40
Two 100cm (40 inches) cabinets, each with two shallow drawers on top and one deep drawer below.
A 40cm (16 inches) pull-out pantry cabinet for oil and vinegar.
This would mean less space for the cutlery drawer, but I would have room for oil and vinegar bottles directly in the island.
Dishes will also be stored in the island.
It is a Netxt125 kitchen, if that is relevant.
I am attaching the planning photos and would really appreciate your opinions.

There is definitely plenty of space for the usual canned ravioli, ready-made mixes, etc., in the pantry.
Otherwise... a kitchen in this price range and size with only one oven, no warming drawer, no built-in coffee machine, no microwave? No built-in radio? No wine cooler? No wine rack? No spice rack? Not a single power outlet at the sink?
That’s why the large storage room is needed for the canned ravioli. Food gets reheated there, not cooked... The kitchen planner has planned 6 power outlets for the sink area, but they are not shown on the drawings.
Not always! Sometimes we might even cook on the stove ourselves.
