I also immediately overlooked an important piece of information about the "empty" wall. Shame on me!

Nevertheless, I stand by it: it can be done better. Even when I read your post #192 and implement the things nicely (slanted corners), I see room for optimization.

For the current design, I actually find €9000 okay – it depends on the electrical appliances. This is how I want to answer your core question. Electrical appliances from the net save a lot compared to the "RRP" of the studios. Example: In my kitchen with 1x oven with pyrolysis, induction stove, extractor hood, Bosch fridge, and Bosch dishwasher, the difference was €1900. With identical appliances. Installed at no extra cost, but for warranty handling in case of damage, we have to contact the shop and cannot use the studio’s service. Thanks to the considerable savings, we were able to come to terms with this.

Regarding the kitchen planning:

I would, also considering the demands you set(!), still remove the tall cabinets from the corner between the windows and place them on the short wall to the left of the door to the utility room.
The corner between the windows then remains at countertop height, and the stove moves to the left of the single-wing window.

If upper cabinets are missed, they can go where the extractor hood used to be. Or alternatively, if it’s not disturbing at this spot due to the relatively rare passage, even 1-2 tall cabinets.

If your preferred countertop height allows a 6-tier grid, I would do a proper storage planning. With a 1-1-2-2 grid, you can create so much storage space that some cabinets become superfluous – which also makes the space feel airier.

Additionally, it seems your room could accommodate an oversized countertop – more extra storage! If you consistently save a whole cabinet that way, it effectively means little to no additional cost.

The corner between the windows can remain slanted by me, you like it, so be it.

My preferred corner solution is by the way the zero solution: try to have zero corners, and for each corner, build zero solutions. The space gain from corner solutions compared to dead corners is marginal, but in return impractical to handle.

Plan the kitchen in the Ikea planner then you have a reference point. 9000€ seems like a lot to me for some no name kitchen.

Thank you very much for the many responses! I will sit down again and think it over. The price seems to be okay to slightly above the possible price for now. That is a good starting point for now.


The cabinet is also planned like that, it just wasn't available in the program. The wall cabinet has so much space at the back that you need a stool to find anything back there at all.

So, who is watching SternTV right now...
They are presenting the tricks of the kitchen salesmen..

What is especially interesting here is the “Block-Offsetting“
There are always discounts of 60% resulting from it

Well, that's not a secret now. If you assume a base price of 300 euros for a cabinet, it goes quickly.

If I have common sense, I can relatively easily come to the conclusion that a reputable company cannot simply give 50%. Nor 30%.

But it is becoming increasingly fashionable to invent astronomical list prices exactly for this purpose.

I come from a different industry, but we also have former regular customers who got lost in some discounts. They then 1. did not really pay less, 2. were poorly advised, and 3. often did not get what they actually wanted.

We always call it tuition fees, or sustainable customer loyalty.
