1.5-room apartment - Kitchen renovation

Out with the old kitchen, new floor on top (how old are these tiles, possibly Floorflex). For the tiles, maybe see if they can be painted or something. And then put in an Ikea kitchen unit, you can also save the corner part and place the fridge freely or integrate it into the unit. Then you could attach a folding table to the left wall where two chairs can still be used for dining.

But you can't get such a custom-made corner with Ikea, can you?

Actually, there is the suitable corner solution at Ikea. It's standard.

Again: This is an affordable 1.5-room apartment (250-300 euros cold rent), so we don't need to talk about kitchens costing 5-6000 euros.

In the neighboring apartment (2-room), I had a high-quality and inexpensive, simple kitchen (new) installed from a reputable furniture store. That was about 1100 euros, without appliances. IKEA was 200-250 euros cheaper at the time, but I gladly invested that, because the kitchen was fully assembled.

The problem is, it is not a normal corner (90 degrees). You can also see that in the photo, I have no idea how to describe it.

Then you do have the answer to your question about what can/should be done with the kitchen.

I think that's a rumor. But sure, if it goes through the showroom at Roller and Poco, there are plenty of 2.5m kitchens for 2000 euros, but the moment you change anything, you pay.

For Ikea, though, you need a bit of skill and brains.

As I said, I already wrote down the prices. 1100 euros with assembly (without appliances) from a high-quality furniture store – but relatively small. At the cheap local furniture stores, a kitchen was more expensive than there.
The question is also: what speaks against a run-of-the-mill kitchen from the mentioned dealers in such an inexpensive apartment? You can get some there for 1000 euros if you don’t need to change anything. The kitchen gets “used up” over the years anyway, so I find an overly expensive kitchen rather suboptimal.

Out with the old kitchen, new floor on (how old are those tiles, maybe Floorflex). With the tiles, maybe see if you can paint them or something. And then put in an Ikea kitchen unit, you can theoretically skip the corner and just set the fridge free or integrate it into the unit. Then you could attach a folding table to the wall on the left, where you can still eat with two chairs.

The tiles are already out. A new floor is coming anyway.
I am currently painting the bathroom tiles, which is really a hell of a job. I have to paint them a third time now because it’s still slightly showing through.
Sure, you can theoretically skip the corner. Currently, it’s just nice because you naturally have some surface area to work on.

Then you have the answer to your question about what you can/should do with the kitchen.

Theoretically, yes. Then you would just have to hope that the tiles aren’t damaged when dismantling the old kitchen. Otherwise, you would have a problem...

I realize that the overwhelming majority is probably in favor of a new kitchen. I had hoped the opinion would be different and I could save myself the work ;-)

Wrong! If I were you, I would hope that the tiles fall off the wall or, even better, take matters into my own hands. Then 4 sqm of leftover tiles from the hardware store for 5€ per sqm can go back on the wall and it really looks good. This measure is immediately 100% tax-deductible as a landlord.
