Wall cabinet with 10cm width?

Hello everyone,

the planning of our kitchen is slowly taking shape. We will probably implement the idea with a two-liner.

This means one row is just countertop & the other just cabinets. The side with countertops is about 3x80 1x60 1x40 = 3.40 m long. Since I have an 80 cm cooktop and would therefore tend to go for a 90 cm extractor hood, unfortunately this no longer works with the wall cabinets. (Example: to the left of the stove there is still an 80 cm cabinet, but above the stove there is only 70 cm space. So you can’t make it flush there. You always have to bridge 5 cm.) I have the same problem on the right... it’s even worse there because eventually a window will be installed.

So - for now I am planning without upper cabinets. That certainly looks quite good, but with them it wouldn’t be bad either. Especially because you can easily integrate lighting underneath.

What I would like from the countertop first is a backsplash (tiles, glass, wood, or similar), then a small shelf (about 30-35 cm above the countertop) and then again about 15 cm above that these cabinets. With any other kitchen manufacturer this probably wouldn’t be an issue:

Does anyone have a good idea for this? Is it possible to build a 10 cm shelf out of something or similar? Even with a 100 cm extractor hood it doesn’t fit :(

Best regards

METHOD Corpus wall cabinet, white you can easily shorten the width / height there, but whether that makes sense... minus the sides, there is only about 6.4 cm internal width left.... better leave some space left and right. regards robi

What is wrong with a 5cm distance to the extractor hood? You should have that anyway to be able to clean its sides well. :)

How is it if you "reduce" a cabinet like that, does it still look neat afterwards?

Leaving space is of course also an option and then, for example, just hanging one cabinet on the left and right. Then it becomes nicely symmetrical again.

I also discovered these hoods earlier.

It is 90 wide, would probably still fit into the above-mentioned cabinet (I probably have to saw a circle at the top, but there will be some kind of chimney / cladding on it anyway).
Then I could make a continuous row again. What do you think of such hoods?

If necessary, I would have to take 60 cm wall cabinets, but they are not so nice. I think a small chimney at the very back of the tall cabinet would bother me less?! The depth is 30 and the pipe is only about Ø15.
You can then build a small spice rack in front of the exhaust in the tall cabinet.

That depends on your craftsmanship skills and your tools.

I shortened these 20 cm in height, you can't see anything there. When shortening the width, you may need to drill new holes for the shelves/base plate on one side, or if it’s the side of the adjacent wall cabinet, screw it from the outside.

One would first need to see a view of the entire line in order to be able to say something meaningful.
