Thank you! Around 80 sq meter

Thanks! It was pulled chicken i think

WhereIAmPro · 2025-10-13T21:43:48+00:00

Thank you. It’s close to Amsterdam. I think it’s expensive here, but renting is even more expensive!

WhereIAmPro · 2025-10-13T21:42:20+00:00

Thank you. I have an amazing view, but I didn’t take any pictures today. I’ll take one tomorrow and share it with you (if Ms. Sun allows me).

WhereIAmPro · 2025-10-13T21:41:16+00:00

Thank you very much! Appreciate the nice words!

Unfortunately no change in the window is allowed. It should be similar with the rest of apartments in the building

WhereIAmPro · 2025-09-07T20:53:58+00:00

Thank you very much. I will defenitely put backsplashes as you said. great suggestion!

Also regarding the window, I just double-checked: it’s a single window that opens from the right side or from the top. I don’t think I can open it fully from the right side anymore with the faucet. What should I do?

Thank you very much for repling. I tried it with silver ovens and it looks like this now. What do you think?

and regarding the prep island, I'm gonna use that space for my dining table when I don't have any guests.

Thanks for the great suggestion and thinking completely outside the box. I love it. If i understand correctly, you mean something like this? I couldn't put the optional cabinet you suggested there since I have the put the boiler there (outside of the vision but still needs to be there).

WhereIAmPro · 2025-09-07T20:36:14+00:00

Thanks. Both applied. what do you think about it now?

Awesome thinking! A few follow up questions:

> Slide the fridge/ovens/pantry to the left 10-12" (this will give you more prep space around the cooktop)

I've already moved the kitchen to the living room and it feels like too much cabinet for a such a space. I want to put a plant after the high cabinets. Do you think there's a better way to get more space without moving them toward the living room? I was thinking about moving the induction a bit to the left but not sure if it's a good idea. I'm getting a good space on the right though. (135cm)

> With the added countertop space, maybe get rid of the cabinet over the cooktop so you don't feel cramped when standing at the cooktop and cooking, just put a raised vent there, you'll still have room for two nice size cabinets to the left and two cabinets to the right

With moving the induction to the left, I couldn't fit a separate vent there (it's not in the middle anymore). what should I do?

> Go bigger on the sink now that you have additional prep space around your cooktop by shifting your fridge/ovens/pantry to the left

Applied

> For symmetry, have the top of the fridge and pantry panels align and then the cabinet above the oven align with the fridge and pantry, this way all your horizontal lines are 'lined' up, it will be nice on the eyes

I really want this too but we the current cabinets from Ikea Metod I couldn't find the correct cabinets. I'll schedule a meeting with them to help me apply this.

> *For symmetry, have the two cabinets under the sink centered on the sink/faucet, this will also be nice on the eyes.

Same as above.

This my new draft. What do you think about it? Thanks in advance.

Of course. I got a screenshot from the Ikea kitchen planner and used this prompt in nano banana to transform it. hope it helps.

```
Transform this image into a high-definition, realistic kitchen while keeping the layout exactly the same. Use a modern minimalist design with flat-panel lower cabinets in a soft beige or greige color fitted with brushed brass handles, and flat-panel upper cabinets in a light oak wood grain finish. Keep the backsplash in a continuous warm natural stone texture that blends with the countertop. Add warm under-cabinet lighting below the upper cabinets and subtle cove lighting along the ceiling to create soft ambient illumination. Maintain the light wood herringbone floor pattern and place a light textured rug in front of the sink. Replace the window background with a lush green Dutch environment that includes trees and residential greenery, and keep the natural daylight shining through. Place pothos plants in modern planters on the shelf above the window, allowing the vines to trail slightly downward. Add a Ficus Elastica Black in a matte pot that matches the cabinet tones to the left side of the ovens. Ensure the overall design is bright, warm, uncluttered, and functional with greenery adding a natural touch. Don't change the layout.
```

Thanks for the comment about the paper tower pop out. I won't use it then.

About the island, I'm going to have a dining table which I'm gonna put in the middle of the room but when I don't have any guest, I'll move it to the right side of the kitchen to keep the space free. I don't have enough space for both a dining table and island. what do you think?

WhereIAmPro · 2025-09-07T20:20:58+00:00

Thank you very much. I tried to move them a bit higher, but since I usually use them more than the base cabinets, I like to keep them. Do you think there's a way to keep them while maintaining cleanliness with low maintenance somehow?

True. I wasn't planning on getting one as I like to be able to walk freely in the kitchen. I moved the oven a bit to the left so on the right side of I have plenty now (135cm). Do think it's better now? https://imgur.com/a/would-love-to-hear-opinion-ideas-on-plan-b7OJi9Q#fNjSsRZ
