Planning: overall width, working height

Would the entire row be raised just as much as the small sink row is too high?

If there is a 20 cm high wall directly next to the cooktop, then it is impractical, because, for example, a pan handle only has space forward.

Would raising the entire line the same way as the sink line be too high?

Maybe while stirring in the pots :confused: Then I would have 1 meter of elevated work surface on the left. Edit: If I raise everything to 1.20, I would have to move the sockets and probably eventually put them back... Regards, Jürgen.

According to the plan, there are 20 cm free next to the refrigerator. Why not refrigerator, 60 cm base cabinet, 40 cm base cabinet, stove, 40 cm base cabinet? If having everything at the same height is not practical for you, then I would rather put a built-in refrigerator in the 140 cm high cabinet and leave the rest at 100 cm.

Thank you for your patience!

I do like it with different working heights though:


By the way, I had drawn the platform incorrectly (10 cm too high). So the right part will remain at normal height.

According to the plan, there are still 20 cm free next to the refrigerator. Why not refrigerator, 60 cm base cabinet, 40 cm base cabinet, stove, 40 cm base cabinet?

I just don’t want everything so close to the room doors, although it’s actually the same in the old kitchen and nobody minds. Tomorrow morning I will have a second pair of eyes on site, then we will decide how wide the whole row will be and then I’ll be standing in front of Ikea in Frankfurt at ten...

[...] then I would rather put a built-in fridge in the 140 cm high cabinet and leave the rest at 100 cm.

And if I shorten it to 108 cm, I get my desired working height, there are suitable refrigerators at that height, and the plinth remains uniform.

Thanks again for your help. There will be photos when everything is finished...

Regards, Jürgen.

To each their own, but do not go higher directly next to the cooktop, otherwise the countertop next to the cooktop cutout will become too thin.

This is how it turned out now The refrigerator cabinet will be even lower

Unfortunately, I forgot to buy the side panels. But the IKEA planner didn’t notice that either. Without them, the front doesn’t look so great, I think.

And of course I have one more question:
Do you let the countertop – for example at the sink – overhang on the right and left, do you make it flush (then it would fit exactly), or is that a matter of taste?

Best regards, Jürgen.
