Plan new Ikea kitchen

Hello,

I hope you can give me some tips on kitchen planning. Unfortunately, I am a bit new to the topic of Ikea kitchens. But they are already very nice.

For your information, the window behind the sink could still be moved if it makes sense.
I look forward to your comments.

Hello,

if you want Kroktorp, ask beforehand. It is supposed to be replaced by Hittarp from August:

Hello,

1. Supports must be placed under the countertop next to the dishwasher, e.g. UTBY.
2. A filler panel is missing between the dishwasher and the wall.
3. Are there no problems with the faucet when opening the window?
4. domsjö has delivery difficulties due to high demand. Ask beforehand if it might take months.
5. Should there be a door under the oven instead of drawers?
6. With display cabinet doors, the cabinets always have to be very tidy.
7. If the appliances are to be from IKEA, be careful, as there are new ones coming.

Thanks for the info, the kitchen will only be bought in November/December, so I still have to change the front... a pity actually.

1. Isn't one bracket on the wall enough here?
2. I didn't find any.
3. No, the windows open outwards.
4. Good point, may change it when the time comes.
5. I actually thought that another compartment for, e.g., a kitchen machine would be quite good, but it could also become a drawer.
6. We now also have a display cabinet... and it won't be a show kitchen.
7. The new ones have advantages, maybe there's a bargain to be made here.

Hello,

thanks, I will try to schedule it for this evening?

Is there anything else that might be better, more or fewer cabinets... I still can't really judge that.

Personally, I don't find the new fronts as nice as the old ones. This applies especially to the display cabinets that no longer have crosses... I guess I'll have to live with it or choose a completely different one.

I will probably fix the countertop to the wall with an angle bracket or piece of wood... it shouldn't actually be a problem since there are only about 5.5 cm here anyway. There won't be much movement.

I'm still looking for a way to raise the plinth. We would like 6 cm more height. I have two ideas:

1. Not using the original plinth feet, the feet are also available in other heights, e.g. on eBay. They might just have to be attached differently.

2. 6 cm high base (MDF?) over the entire area. Then the cabinets on top. I would probably have to do that for the dishwasher anyway since it can't get other feet, right?

I would then install either two overlapping baseboards or trim a side panel from a tall cabinet accordingly. That way I would again have a smooth plinth.
