Feedback on the Ikea kitchen

Sure, why not? If it works, it works; if not, you haven't lost anything.

I would tell him straight up that you have a similar offer from another provider and ask if he can still accommodate you.

Has no one said anything about the condition of the dishwasher yet? Are you left-handed?

Yvonne, what does that have to do with left-handed people? My dishwasher is also to the left of the sink and I am right-handed. A dishwasher should always be placed where it is not in the way when the door is open. In my various apartments, the dishwasher has been both to the right and to the left of the sink. There are no operational problems with that.

Kerstin, I know it like this, that as a right-hander you also prefer to load the dishwasher, while the left one, for example, reaches up above. We have gone through the loading process several times and also looked at the kitchen layout with focus.

We are half left half right - both the adults and the children
What still bothers my wife now is the color of the countertop and the door under the sink. We are feeling our way forward.

The design should be available in different colors and interchangeable. However, I am not only confused by the location of the dishwasher but also by other things. I am now mentioning a few things just to see if they have been considered. If not, then changes can be made. The cutlery drawer is probably the one in the counter. Then the dishwasher would obstruct the use of this. The rows considered individually are not symmetrical. What about the drawers under the stove? Are they the same width? Under the large window: why not place the sink centered to the window, with the dishwasher and waste bin optimally underneath, and drawers of equal size on the left and right (or your base cabinet with waste system, whatever it is called or looks like). The tall cabinets: stove centered, handles of the other cabinets to the left and right, drawers under the stove. The corner between the window and the tall cabinets is suitable for shelves (cookbooks, herbs, medicine, etc.). For glasses or cups, it is too far from the sink. Yes, and then plan the contents: Tupperware, bowls, pots, and small utensils near the stove, spices too, a tall cabinet for supplies, base cabinet in the counter for dishes... Keep in mind: on the cabinets facing the living area, direct access is often not possible because the dining area is there and obstructs it.
