I would be asking questions from the person who said that they needed to be an extra 120mm wide. Do they actually know how wide a LED strip is? Or have they got confused with a fluro light? This is a 300mm narrow overhead cabinets with LED strip lighting concealed behind a pelmet over the central island bench. I also used the same LED lighting strip above the curtain pelmet shining upwards, and the wall mounted overhead cupboards. "Needs to increase depth to 420mm" translates to "I could not be bothered to do something that needs a bit of extra work and thinking to make my clients happy so I will try and change their minds". Happens all the time in the building industry with many old-school types not wanting to change the way they have been doing things for 100 years, so it is easier to distract the clients. Stick to your guns as good lighting is crucial to a well designed and functional kitchen. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls and Dr Retro Virtual Visits.

I've never thought along these lines before , and I'm a guy , but I just wondered if having a mirror angled up slightly ( 5 degrees or less ) may make putting on makeup and doing eyelids easier , and shaving for us guys ? Plus to do a part in your hair , you can still lean forward . Bathroom mirrors always seem to be flat against a wall or medicine cupboard , but I wonder if one slightly angled upwards would be better ?

Also take into account the width of your benchtop material. You’ll save money and avoid a join if you can stick with a standard size. So a manufactured stone will be about 900ish so with a standard benchtop about 610mm-ish you have up to 290mm to work with.

I would think depth is depth. You don't fill pools all the way to be level with ground. Even if hole is 3 metres deep surely the listed depth is how deep the water level will be
