Kitchen pictures thread - Show us your kitchens!

The edges are always the weak point of a ceramic countertop, I would not choose an undermount sink.

Since the kitchen design is relatively cool and clean, I would forgo the SBS and choose a built-in refrigerator. In my opinion, it fits better into the overall picture. Alternatively, the SBS could possibly be placed freestanding against another wall.

In my opinion, the SBS messes up the whole kitchen. Otherwise, I find them very harmonious, although personally, they would have too little storage space for me.

Visually clean, I would also choose a built-in refrigerator instead of an SBS to not disturb the overall look. Otherwise, it would be too small / not enough storage space for me. But you need to know if that meets your needs. Have you ever had a bar counter like this? In my experience, there are only a few people who really use it as intended. In most cases, there are 3 unused stools standing around, and the counter serves as a storage surface for this, that, and everything else. For this reason, we consciously decided against such a counter.

Thank you for your answers. We have the same objections. We have a second kitchen where we would have more storage space. The countertop is made of screed concrete, and you always hear different things about its susceptibility. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, so we are unsure.

The protruding counter has potential for many bruises.

Counters, as said, are unnecessary, no one uses them (yes, now I’m triggering the three people who bought something like that and already ate a sandwich on it ...) and they get in the way (bumping into them; access to cabinets under the counter). Concrete surfaces can be impregnated. Without treatment you practically get stains immediately because the material absorbs. But with the right treatment this can certainly be solved. Side by side ... Jehovah topic. I think these are (expensive) foreign bodies whose space layout is illogical. High capacity according to the datasheet, in practice especially in the freezer part simply insufficient. Better to take something integrated and possibly store frozen goods in a proper freezer. Overall the kitchen storage would be too small for me. The SbS consumes space and apparently the trend of the downdraft extractor is being followed, which causes storage losses in the peninsula. The counter complicates access to the storage from the back of the peninsula. It’s not just about calculated storage space somewhere in the house, it also has to be practical in the right place. A toilet paper storage in the basement is useless if you’re sitting on the throne upstairs.
