I am designing a kitchen for my apartment, I need to have 15cm (area marked in red) so that the fridge door can be opened. What type of cupboard do you suggest? Will 15cm be sufficient to create a broom cupboard? Thanks!

Can you go a little more than 15cm? What about doing a pullout next to the fridge? Something like this?

Are your cabinets full overlay doors? This helps to determine what it can be. If you have a full overlay pullout....you will need a small spacer to the left so it will not scrape the wall coming in and out.

What’s the cupboard that juts into the room? I’m useless at planning but wondering what’s on your wish list as you have a gab hob vs induction, an under counter oven versus built-in, a built in microwave in one, a drainer in one etc. Does the kitchen also need to include laundry? Do both waste pipes have to stay? (I didn’t know if there was a way to route the middle one to the back, she says 😂). Would you consider integrated fridge and freezer as it will look much more streamlined? Where exactly are the windows as they too differ? Or does the 1st design not incorporate a dining table?

Karen at One Plan has been recommended a lot on Houzz, so may be a place to start? I think she does concept planning rather than supply and fit, but I may be wrong! You can find her under Professionals above.

Thats one of the downsides when buying from DIY Kitchens, if you don't know what you're doing its an expensive mistake to make and some 'home' designs can be unsafe and don't comply with latest building regs. Also having a quality hi def cad design can really help you visualize how your kitchen will look, I find designs evolve over time and with feedback from the customer. Why not support and buy from a reputable local independant kitchen supplier, you'll get a design that will work and fits, they'll take their own measurements and double check them, all the parts supplied that you need as they'll sort the component listing, more choice of doors, styles, door sizes, cabinet sizes, accessories, good advice and better customer service. Most independants will visit you and get a feel for what you need and how your kitchen has to work to create your design. Bespoke kitchens don't have to be overly expensive either and technically every kitchen is bespoke as its been designed and built for you and its not likely to fit any where else.

So, the builders are booked to carry out the open plan. Did the kitchen retailer rounds. Wren, Howdens, Sigma3, Avant Garde and AC distribution. Still to do the 3D designs, but thats all planned this week with all except Howdens. The Avant Garde are selling Symphony and Mobilturi. Heard bad reviews about Symphony units. Ac distribution are interesting as they make their own units in Wales. They appear reasonably made. Anybody use AC distribution or Avant Garde in Cardiff?

yes the cabinets are full overlay. how much should the spacer be? as 15cm is the maximum space I have. In the image I previously attached the 15cm is divided in 2 spacers, 5 cm next to the oven and 10 cm next to the fridge. I have 2 concerns with that design;

1. the 5 cm spacer has ruined the symmetry.
2. I am not making use of the space.

Thank you so much for the feedback.

Well if you want a useful pull out you will need to take space from somehwhere else and that points to the cabinet run that includes the counter space to the right of the fridge. You will have to make them smaller to get bigger on the end of the run, Pretty simple deduction.
