Kitchen planning: Dishwasher, countertop material+edge, colors, washing machine behind the door

Hello, 1) Yes. 2) Good. 3) Yes. 4) To make the door fit in width, you have to put a strip the thickness of the cabinet wall in front of the washing machine anyway. That could also go on the right. The side panel doesn’t have to consist of just a thin cover panel if space allows. Whether the depth works out, I would measure on the real device so that it doesn’t turn out, for example, that hoses are not taken into account. 5) Starting right in the middle of the cooktop cutout is absolutely never no not at all. First have prices calculated at the hardware store before you think further in this direction. 6) Cheap, easy to care for and resistant is a laminate board with texture. Nothing completely smooth, you will always get scratches on that. 7) Light gray Veddinge I would combine with VEDDINGE white. The dark Ringhult on top can give the impression that the cabinets are leaning towards you. Have you asked if new colors will come as replacements for RINGHULT red and beige?

Hello Ikea expert,

thank you very much for your answer!

Regarding the points:
3. I don’t find the hinge visually appealing, so it will probably be a fully integrated model after all.
4. I am still clarifying my budget, maybe it will be a semi-integrated model.
5. I just used the Obi countertop configurator and ended up around €260, which is still acceptable. However, I haven’t done any further research regarding quality, etc. yet.
6. Do you also mean laminate with a wood look? I can't really imagine that with the texture.
7. I didn’t ask. So in your opinion, Ringlut white on the bottom, Veddinge light gray on top doesn’t fit that well?

Best regards,
Steffen

6. I am thinking more of a stone look. I don’t find a wood look very appealing for smooth modern fronts.

7. High gloss at the bottom, not at the top, I can’t really imagine that, but like the countertop decor, it’s a matter of taste.

Hello,

unfortunately, I was otherwise occupied and therefore could not provide further feedback.

There are further developments regarding my points:

2. By swapping the sink base cabinet and the 20 cm cabinet, the space problem is resolved because with the waste pull-out only the lower two-thirds extend and there is a panel on top that cannot collide with the washing machine door.

3. It will definitely be a fully integrated dishwasher with a Vario hinge; I do not like any other solutions aesthetically.

4. The washing machine is not yet clarified.

5. The countertop will probably be one from the hardware store, as there is much more selection and they can do the cutting faster than with a Personlig slab (2-3 weeks vs. 6-8 weeks). Financially, there is no extreme difference when comparing IKEA slab (not Personlig) vs. hardware store, and virtually no difference anymore between Personlig and hardware store.

6. It will probably be laminate; however, there is only one texture that I like. Final color or pattern decision has not yet been made.

7. Color combination is not final yet, but the decision has been made not to use a dark color for the wall cabinets.

Best regards, Steffen

Do you get the right depth at the hardware store? IKEA has 63.5cm instead of the usual 60cm. Or do you have 90cm deep panels cut down?

Yes, it will come down to cutting a 90cm board. In terms of price, it is still reasonable because my corner connection is approximately 2.45m x 1.45m and with that they can use one 4.1m board and do not have to cut a second one.
