Hello,
we are currently planning our kitchen... it will be a stat (two rows along the wall and an island in the middle) combined with glass doors with Lidingö fronts. Our research has shown that these two fronts can be combined and the color tone is the same (do you see it the same way?)
The reason I am writing: we had actually planned a solution with a sliding cabinet (width 1.2m) on top of the base cabinets. The sliding cabinet is only 37cm deep, so there is still a worktop in front of the base cabinet because the base cabinets are deeper. Coffee machine, kettle, etc. are supposed to be stored inside because we don’t like having them out in the open. The problem with the sliding cabinet is that you can only use one side at a time since the doors slide into each other. A roller shutter cabinet (AVSIKT) or two of them side by side (each 60 wide) would, of course, be more practical. The problem: we are not sure how well it fits with the country style of the kitchen and the rest of the living space. Unfortunately, we cannot find any photos of this online and nothing like that is set up at our Ikea store. Has anyone by chance already installed a silver roller shutter cabinet in a stat kitchen in ivory white and can show us a photo? Or does anyone have alternative solutions or ideas? We have also tried to find an external, i.e., non-Ikea roller shutter cabinet with white blinds... that also works but is enormously expensive and only available from a carpenter.... Despair is spreading.... the roller shutter cabinet would be placed so that it is only visible when leaving the living area and otherwise, neither when coming in nor when sitting at the dining table, you look directly at it, but it would still be there.... which is great from a practical point of view, just we are not quite convinced from an aesthetic point of view yet..
Help wanted :) :D
Thanks Vanessa
