Thank you very much for your input. Here are my answers:

1. Measurement: I had the measurement taken by Ikea. The connections for water and gas are behind the sink.
2. Sink: I actually wanted a domsjö double basin, but the configurator complained. Domsjö needs space on both sides. With the model now installed, the warning no longer appears – it seems to be less demanding with regard to space. The countertop will be solid wood.
3. Space between stove and sink: I admit that I am falling short of the recommendation here. I probably focused too much on a certain axis of symmetry.
4. Cabinets: I like to shift the cabinets around a bit and slightly glaze the wall cabinets.
5. Refrigerator: I store it in the pantry, which branches off to the left next to the last base cabinet.
6. Space to the wall: Yes, I left 5 cm of space for a panel so that the doors can open. However, I understand the objection that this limits maneuverability, which is not ideal when handling hot baking sheets.

I probably have to go back to the planning table – if only the kitchen configurator weren’t so slow. Every time I have the feeling it is about to freeze.

Do you want the big Domsjö, the one with the big edge in front? It must definitely be "placed" on a countertop on the left and right, because the cabinet underneath doesn't have enough "material" to support the sink on its own somehow. The planner usually complains about this.

Yes, we originally planned it that way, but canceled it because we are placing the sink next to the tall cabinet in order not to further reduce the already limited workspace. Now it looks like this - and the planner is no longer complaining:



I have also taken into account the note about the base cabinet with the waste system and placed it between the sink and the dishwasher.

Doesn't the planner say that no sink should be so close to the edge? There is probably no warranty on the countertop (and sink?) if there is less than 10cm distance between the sink and the edge of the countertop. :(

Exactly, especially with a solid wood panel, the risk of chipping is very high, as I already wrote above.

No, the planner is now satisfied after changing the sink. But I have now made an appointment at Ikea because I want to avoid such uncertainties. If a countertop still needs to go between the wall cabinet and the sink, it will just be placed there. Thanks for your tips.
