Base GSP with stainless steel front in new Ikea Bodbyn kitchen

Hello,
I have (like many others here) a problem with the dishwasher. We are getting a new Ikea kitchen with light Bodbyn fronts and already have a Siemens built-under dishwasher with a stainless steel front. Now we are considering buying a new dishwasher because, in my opinion, the stainless steel front looks sh... The problem is that the dishwasher is almost new...

I can't imagine how to install this dishwasher so that it doesn't look too awkward? Do you turn the feet all the way up (can they even go that high?) so that the dishwasher rests against the countertop? Then there is a huge gap of about 16 cm from the dishwasher front to the floor. Should I let the Ikea toe kick run through there? But what do I do with the 8 cm gap above that? And it looks bad if the height of the kitchen fronts and dishwasher don't match.
Or should you maybe leave the feet of the dishwasher all the way down and somehow close the gap between the dishwasher and the countertop with a panel?
I would appreciate a tip... Or is it better to get a new dishwasher?

Regards, Luucy

Hello, I also think that stainless steel and country-style fronts do not match that well. The easiest solution would actually be a new dishwasher (from Ikea or a BSH XXL with Vario hinge or Miele XXL).

As for your other considerations: It will not be possible to install it up to under the countertop, you would have to build a plinth.

Whether the Ikea plinth can simply be continued in front of the dishwasher you have to try out, you might need a cutout so that the door opens properly.

The easiest is still a panel at the top, which you can cut from a 10mm drawer front.

With a kitchen plinth height of 8 cm, you will not be able to align the dishwasher flush at the bottom. The minimum plinth height is specified in the dishwasher's dimension drawings.

Thank you both for your tips and suggestions. It really doesn't seem that easy. I still don't know the best way to do it, but at least now I know what else I need to pay attention to, which I wouldn't have thought of myself...

Best regards
