Comments (2)Welcome to Kitchens. We can see that wall 4 is exterior--what's behind doors on walls 1, 2, and 3?...See MoreKitchen appliance dilemma's
Comments (6)I’ve owned a SZ fridge in my last two houses, worth the cost, imo. I’ve never had a fridge keep food so fresh. Because of the dual compressors, no weird food smells either. In our last house, we had a Thermador cook top and 2 Thermador ovens, no complaints with either. The cooktop is very powerful, but we also loved their low simmer function. Ovens were great and cooked food evenly. I have no experience with Wolf....See MoreKitchen Appliance Storage Corner Dilemma
Comments (5)Go to Ikea and get a few of their Billy bookcases. They’re well built, very inexpensive, and come in several colors. Then your many items will look organized.

Comments (11)I think you are over thinking this. Most appliances - especially ones that are middle of the road are replaced in older homes without issues because the dimensions are standard. Dishwashers are 24". The dilemma with refrigerators is generally with older homes where the refrigerator space is too short or too narrow to accomodate more modern refrigerators. You would have to determine whether you want a 36" or 42" inch wide or something slightly different. When I was looking the standard height of a refrigerator was 69" - I did get a KA model that was 72" but that was an anomoly. You would have to think about general styles and clearances so that there would be adequate space to open doors but a competent designer would be able to advise on that. Are you going with a stove or a wall oven? Gas or induction? What width. Wall ovens are generally 30" wide and so if you are getting wall ovens you would configure the kitchen with a 30" tall cabinet intended to house wall ovens. Do you want space for a microwave drawer. Also given supply chain issues I am not sure there are going to be great bargains available in the future especially if you care at all about quality and functionality....See MoreKristin S
