PS:

I want to attach the IKEA corner base cabinet with the short side against the wall. However, in the assembly instructions, it is always attached with the long or wide side to the rail.

Is my plan even possible? If necessary, could the back panel be swapped, meaning where the cutouts are? In the end, the long or wide side will be finished off with the side panels anyway.

What might also be an idea...
Instead of any panels, you simply take cover panels that are normally attached to the carcass. These cover panels are available, for example, in 220x60cm, and if you mount them horizontally, you already cover a lot of wall area.
Like here with me:



The cover panels are only screwed to the wall at the top, the wall cabinets slightly overlap and hide the screw heads.
Cheaper, faster, and easier hardly works...

Bye,
Micha

Also a cool idea. What do you or you guys think about the corner cabinet? I would actually like to order solid oak countertops online today.

I actually don't see a problem with that - I would just assemble the cabinet normally and place it as desired. Then use the drill to make 2-4 holes through the cabinet, lightly drilling into the wall behind it. Then move the cabinet away; based on the drilled wall, you can see where the anchors need to go. Insert anchors into the wall, put the cabinet back, and screw it in with long screws. If there is a small gap between the cabinet and the wall, maybe place spacers (roof battens, beer coasters, or whatever) in between to avoid twisting the cabinet when screwing it in. I've never done this before, but that's how I would try it.

How was it again with the dishwasher, does it have to be positioned between 2 carcasses with the Vario hinge (so not Ikea hinges) or can it also be the first carcass at the corner.
