Beautiful new L-shaped kitchen, new construction, no experience

A few more additions to your planning:

[*]Check if the height of the countertop works for you. We (173cm/165cm) are comfortable with 91cm.

A few more additions to your planning:

[*]Cooktop including downdraft extractor is not necessarily more expensive. You just have to avoid the mistake of comparing apples and oranges. For example, switching from Siemens to Bora. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
[*]You can save a lot on electrical appliances without having to compromise. For example, we chose the simplest model from Neff for the oven. We don't need a color display with a hundred programs. The oven should just keep the food warm with the basic functions (grill, convection, top and bottom heat).
[*]For oven and microwave, I would take devices from the same manufacturer so that it looks matching. For the other appliances it doesn’t matter, better to focus on function and price/performance.

A few more additions to your planning:

[*]I would take bigger drawers than 60cm if it fits optically with the wall cabinets. Then you would have fewer handles, which looks more calm. You can divide the drawers yourself.

A few more additions to your planning:

[*]Center handles on doors are hard to open. Have you tried that?

A few more additions to your planning:

[*]Do you need these tall drawers everywhere? They can only be filled with tall kitchen appliances if you don’t want to stack everything on top of each other. That doesn’t look optimal in terms of storage. With Nobilia it’s different.

Where do we stand nowadays with such a size and price? Is 25,000 euros still enough?

I would also consider a French door refrigerator, as you significantly limit your options and usually pay unnecessarily higher prices, and you only have 2 x 45 cm doors. I find similar disadvantages with American side-by-side refrigerators that have narrow doors and limited interior compartments. For this reason, I have always preferred European side-by-side, meaning simply two full-sized units side by side connected by a linking piece. This is available from Siemens/Bosch, Liebherr, etc., in 2 x 60 cm width. I find it not only nice with cooling devices when they are not overcrowded inside or when there is some space, and even for the two of us I do not find it too big. I have all devices from Siemens IQ500 and 700 and everything works perfectly; you just have to look at the slight differences. Above all, you then also have a sufficiently large freezer compartment and, for a few euros more, an ice cube maker, if you like that. I always liked the look of French door refrigerators, but ultimately we always decided against them for practical reasons.

Your kitchen space is not easy to "play with," but the design has succeeded quite well. I have good experience with Siemens appliances myself – I have not looked further into the selected models. At the time, we chose the respective top models due to a minimal price difference during price determination. [...] I am not an experienced kitchen planner and therefore do not have a better suggestion on the spot. There must be good reasons why the kitchen layout did not play a primary role in the house design.

How do you like it?

Thank you for the tip! I looked into it. Unfortunately, the freezer units alone with ice dispenser cost as much as the complete French door. I don't want to do without the dispenser in the appliance.
