Could actually pass as cream!

3.20m ..... and before questions arise, the place of the hob is deliberately positioned at the edge.

Nice size, unfortunately ours have to be shortened from 3.10m to 2.80m because of the passage :-(.

Placed at the edge so you have more workspace?

Exactly, we once had an island with a length of 2.70m, and back then we only had 60cm of space between the sink and the stove. The 60cm was too little for me at the time, since I mostly worked only between the sink and the stove. I never used the 3.10m workspace on the wall unit back then.

My 1.20m was planned for us and then had to be reduced to 90cm, a pity.

A kitchen should primarily be practical, but nowadays it is mostly about the appearance; you want to elicit a "wow" from the visitors and get confirmation for great taste.

Kitchens with reach-in profiles are installed even in the smallest rooms, it looks good, but in the morning you run to the basement to get the Nutella because there is a lack of storage space in the kitchen.

But like the concrete fronts, the black fronts will eventually no longer be in line with the spirit of the times. Fashion, especially in DE, changes very quickly.

In the mentioned other forum, someone now also has a styled black kitchen. The problem here is that the moment you touch a front, you see it, always and everywhere. Meanwhile, the owners pull the drawers with dish towels. Of course, they did not expect that, but that is the price you pay for some fronts in matte black. And that for YEARS, it’s not a BO that you exchange if you don’t like it.

As Solveigh wrote earlier, he had only 60cm of work surface on his 270cm long island. The kitchen was certainly nice, but cooking, etc., is torture on 60cm. And no Dekton worktop or black or purple front helps. 60cm is a fact you have to live with for YEARS.

I wouldn't call it a torment now. But, I agree with you, just impractical. Maybe I wasn’t and still am not very well organized, but cooking has actually ALWAYS taken place within the 60cm between the stove and the sink. What additionally expands the workspace in our new kitchen is a, let’s call it a work stone, that we will have standing in the sink. A kind of support made from the same stone as the kitchen counter, on which you can cut and leave things to swing off and dry. I can hardly describe it, will try to take a picture. About the color of the kitchen and fingerprints. Yes, the color is bold. The process of choosing the color took us years. Whether it is practical for everyday use will be revealed. Only on my light gray kitchen back then did I also see every fingerprint. Unfortunately, the surface was such that you couldn’t simply wipe them away. You really had to put effort in, especially around the handles.

The photo is already a few weeks old... A fireplace as a room divider was definitely the right decision.
