We have the panel further rebated in the doors. We put a groove in the shaker border so you can get your finger into it to open it. We avoid the use of push-to-open mechanisms.

I think practical necessities aside you should make decisions based on the room, the light and the style of the cabinets. For instance if you favour modern handleless kitchens with drawers you might prefer fewer cabinets so that you can see the lines, if you have a great view you might choose fewer cabinets to obstruct the view less. I would say entry level suppliers tend to concentrate less on design, and more on squeezing in as many cabinets as possible. I feel this often means that windows and the extractor feel crowded. If your budget is for anything better than entry level then I would get it professionally designed. There are some brilliant independent kitchen showrooms or you can recruit a designer to work with in the professionals section

Is it just the light making the top cabinet cream and the bottom one white? In any case I personally would leave the bottom one as it is as there's no contrast with the washer dryer Which you probably don't want to stand out? The side of the top cabinet isn't as attractive with the screws visible though so personally I'd remove It. You could replace with 2 shelves and then maybe a rattan laundry basket on top of the dryer to balance things out or it looks as if you could do one long shelf over both the sink and dryer and then a shorter one just over the sink. I'd then just add hammam towels and a nice soap etc on the sink its hard to tell what the existing surface is though if you wanted to paint but zinsser goes over pretty much anything. I can't recall if it's the red or blue one you need and you just finish with paint of your choice. It has the consistency of milk though so is tricky to use at first (cover the floor!!) and not particularly cheap.

This is basically what it says on the internet:- Re-circulating cooker hoods push the air through filters, these filters then remove any cooking smells before the air isreintroduced back into your kitchen. Most modernrecirculation hoods feature a basic grease filter as well as a charcoal filter, these work together to remove grease, food smells and smoke from the air. If your air is not able to escape in to the room as above, and it's fitted somehow differently, it may possibly be incorrect, you'd need to see the whole thing. However, rinq is correct, you shouldn't have a gap underneath and maybe air is escaping somehow to where it should not be.

I definitely like that you’ve gained a clear run from the hall way so you can see out to the back. I don’t think having the dining space diagonally really matters and as you say you gain extra light there. Also depends how much you use the table/living room/kitchen. I often Potter in the kitchen so would want that to be light enough to not always need to turn on lights, and often sit on the sofa and read so the same, but only eat evening meals at the table so it’s less of an issue, but if you use it all day, or have kids drawing there then you’ll have different priorities. I think if you can block off a small corner to create a utility cupboard that might be useful to help reduce noise in the open plan space. I think you could potentially do well discussing with a concept planner for the room. Many people on here have used OnePlan and recommend her. I think there are lots of options and everyone will have opinions of what works better but Presuming you’re doing this for you and not to sell then there’ll be additional considerations of your preferences and how you’d live in the space. :-)
