New kitchen.. please provide input

Hello,

first of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Hannes, 34, I live with my wife and son (1 year) near Tübingen. We will soon move into our house, a renovated old building. The installed Faktum kitchen has to go for many reasons... no dishwasher, oven not childproof, cabinets in the way etc...

In the long term, the kitchen is supposed to be two-row. But since for now the dining table will still be in the kitchen, only one row will be replaced at first. However, the refrigerator will immediately go to the other side.

Attached is a small hand drawing.. (sorry the Ikea planner crashes for me constantly now..)
Fronts: Ringhult white
Handles: if necessary, Blankett long
Countertop: 290 cm long.. difficult - I want it in one piece. I spoke with the hardware store, they can deliver matching depths and lengths within 10 days. I'm undecided whether solid wood or laminate... light or dark? What would you choose for this room?

I ordered electrical appliances yesterday:

Neff Mega BE 1542 N built-in oven stainless steel B15E42N3
NEFF TD 1342 N TouchControl hob 60 cm T13D42N2
Neff GX 51 fully integrated dishwasher S52N52X1EU

and the sink

BLANCOLANTOS XL 6 S-IF 519709

For the faucet, we will probably take the “Grohe Minta”.

The dishwasher is 86.5 cm high, that’s not a problem, is it? The carcasses stand on legs, and the countertop is then 88 cm above the floor, right?

I’m grateful for any input :)

best regards and many thanks

Hello, better take the S72N65X4EU or another one with a variable hinge, that way you are also on the safe side for the future.

Hello, better take the S72N65X4EU or another one with a Varioscharnier, that way you are also on the safe side for the future.

Hello IKEA expert, thanks for the answer! I have googled what the Varioscharnier does now, but I'm not sure if it is necessary in the current planning? Could you please briefly explain where you see the advantage? derduff

With the Varioscharnier, you can mount an 80 cm high front directly. Without it, you have to trick (I named this the Stefan method in the dishwasher fronts thread because Stefan described it first) or use BEHJÄLPIG. With Behjälplig (like many other things from IKEA), you can never be sure whether you will still get spare parts for years, and it can only be mounted well if the dishwasher front is attached on each side with three screws (check the installation instructions). Whether the Stefan method works under all local conditions cannot be said for sure either.

Hello! I have changed the order, the S72N65X4EU has a few other features, such as beaming the remaining time onto the floor :D.

Now I have a problem, a design-related one.

In the first design, the sink was placed right in the corner, with the drip tray on the right (so "wrong"):




Advantages were, for example, the large area between the sink and stove, good position of the dishwasher, the 60 cm drawer next to the stove, and the practical 20 cm pull-out.

In a modified design, the sink is better placed.




However, the dishwasher is all the way outside, and instead of 60 cm drawers and a 20 cm pull-out, there are two 40 cm drawer base cabinets to the left and right of the cooktop.

Neither design is perfect. But I think the second option has fewer disadvantages...

What do you think?

That's better. It now matches the upper cabinets better. I find drip trays unnecessary.
