white and white always looks good, doesn't have to match but i suggest a white for cabinets that's not shiny or every finger print and splash is so obvious and always looks dirty

...my new kitchen has a pretend vertical fine woodgrain pattern doors that doesn't show any dribbles but i'm sorry i went with a plain white counter...the textured counter i used in my last house was so much more serviceable and damage to your counter would mean replacing 3.6 m of counter, so choose carefully and difference between laminates and stone etc might be $1000!!

BTW i always use simple brushed chrome D handles for bottom doors and drawer ...usually $3-4 each and no handles on top cabinets, remember you need about 15 handles and difference in price between $4 and $15 each can really add up

self closing drawers are quite standard now and save banging the doors and breaking the hinges, wall and kitchen colours OK but what about floors and counters?

built in microwave will cost a lot more...my built in microwave was $1300 plus specialised cabinetry because i like that it matches the wall oven but it doesn't do anything else that i need for the extra $1000!!...a basic microwave can sit anywhere there's a power point but there's also a middle of the range microwave that has optional framing to make it look built in...check with the salespeople which one suits you...my tenants were happy with a shelf and extra powerpoint for the MW they brought with them...sounds mean but everyone has different ideas of what is required in a basic kitchen...some tenants don't use a DW??? I like a cupboard to store a small garbage bin out of site, everyone is different

So after revising the plan thanks to all y'all (special mention to @oklouise), the kitchen guy has finalised this plan based on the kitchen measurements he has. Anything I'm missing or should take into account?

I do notice the very left cabinetry is wider. He's done it like this because it would be nice to have the sink in the middle of the window. For the under-cabinet rangehood, would it make sense to have the tiny cupboard next to it?

the under cabinet rangehood hasn't been shown and perhaps the narrow cabinet is to allow for the width of rangehood machinery BUT first comfirm the rangehood size and how it has to fit and ask the cabinetmaker if they can make three "equal" sized doors just 'cause it looks better...i prefer the washer and dryer side by side with the tub installed far left or far right (personal taste for right or left handers) because it leaves a nice long bench to use for folding clothes etc saves a minuscule amount of under bench space, easier access to get the washer and dryer in and out, needs only one power point and it's roomier for the electrician and plumber to work but make sure that the washer taps are installed inside the cabinet and i'm hoping you're planning on a condensor dryer that also needs to be plumbed in...otherwise it all looks fabulous, well done you!!

It's not shown, but I'm leaning towards a:
-900mm undercabinet rangehood
-750mm cooktop

I've edited the image make it show below. I'll confirm with the kitchen guy shortly.

Also;

Should the cabinet (to the right, above the microwave) be the same length as the rangehood cabinet?

Preferably I would want 2 powerpoints, but given the length, it doesn't seem like it can be done? Or just have 2-3 outlets on one powerpoint? Where would it be strategically placed? Considering I will have a splashback..

Was thinking to the very left side wall ...

Also, for the laundry, I was thinking undercabinet downlights, would this be smart? For the length, should I do 2 or 3 downlights? Or not at all..

two would be plenty in this space but they would be more imporatnt in kitchen and bathroom unless you expect to be doing close work in the laundry it's not really necessary but, if you decide to have them anyway, check where you want the switch they usually have an extra button on a power point above the counter (power point placed to suit an iron) and ask how and where the downlight transformers are placed inside the cabinets to make sure they're not on the floor of the shelf but attached higher up in the back corner inside the wall cabinet where they interfere less with what's being stored

Thanks @oklouise. Very good point on the powerpoint for where an iron should be placed, never thought of that.

Also, any thoughts on the above post regarding the kitchen..

the rangehood over the stove should have a light and make sure the ceiling light(s) in the kitchen light up the sink and counter (not the back of your head) and a spotlight under the wall cabinet on the left of the sink with an above counter power point for the kettle and toaster on the left hand wall with the switch for the spotlight..another power point on the right hand side of the window would also be useful for other appliances

there's a safety issue about distance of power points from sinks that make it necessary to sometimes place power points further away than ideal for use...check with electrican for each one

Considering a 'marble-look' splashback. So was trying to avoid a powerpoint on the splashback but it's all give and take I guess

Something like this..

please consider a splashback that covers the whole space from counter to underside of the wall cabinet and continued across behind the cooktop, there's a range of splashback laminates that may suit

Oh right, yes the entire back!

@oklouise, for the laundry, if I'm right handed (as most people are), should the powerpoint be left to the laundry sink? Ideally I would like it tucked away on the left hand side corner wall but then the cord would be in the way..

If you have a dishwasher why do you need a double sink plus draining space? Have u considered a single sink with drainage cut into the benchtop? You would gain about 60cm more bench top.

I'm with Jenny, why double sinks with a dishwasher? Currently re-doing my kitchen and have a single deep sink with no drainer attached to maximise bench space in a small area (though much bigger than this). Dish drying mats are good for those few items that don't go in the dishwasher.

re sink: get Australian made one which has a wooden chopping board you can put over the sink. I installed one and use the board lots of time, so would give you more bench space in effect.

even with the dishwasher, for myself, i still choose double bowl sinks with double drainers...quite rare now but i use the drainers as work space with and without a chopping board for pouring tea and coffee, standing hot pots and baking dishes, washing and draining big saucepans and vegetables and as a meat and vege prep and sandwich making area (where crumbs and scraps go straight into the bowl of my fabulous in-sinkerator) I would have loved stainless steel benches but my big sink does the job very well and was about $8000 cheaper

I'm with Marj and Jenny. Ditch the double sink and draining board. Such a waste of valuable bench space when there is a D/W anyway. A single, 500ml drop in sink with drying mat and a chopping board, allows for big pots and gives more usable flat bench space next to sink. Critical in a small kitchen, particularly as you're keeping your gas cooktop. Saves money and space.

I have found a tall, narrow cupboard (as proposed) to be very useful for storing large chopping boards, trays, oven trays and some serving plates. I wish I had an under-bench one to accommodate wider items.

Sorry, hadn't updated since the sink. I was actually looking at this:

love it!!..best compromise between sinks and counters, now do you want the big sink on the left or right??

After thinking about it, I think I will stick to the one above I chose - but thanks for your help.

Cooktops

It'll be a white kitchen with a marble splashback. Would a black tempered glass gas cooktop be a wise choice? What would your choice be? Kitchen look for visual aspect.

1. Black, 700mm, 5 Burner $1,499
2. Silver, 750mm, 4 Burner, $1,099
3. Silver, 700mm, 5 Burner, $1,124

very happy with my black glass induction cooktop with only three burners...

good luck with your reno lisa..i'm too lazy to clean a gas cooktop and i did have to buy a couple of new standard good quality stainless steel saucepans but small price compared to the new stove

After you decorate your kichen, do you need solid surface bath for your bathroom?

We went for a 70 cm induction stove top which works well - bit more space than 60 but doesn't eat up as much bench space. Our space was limited too, and we wanted to maximise both bench tops and storage. I'd go for an under cupboard range hood and us the above space for some more storage - besides it streamlines the look. I personally like a sink and a small one - using the small one for vegetable washing and smaller washing up works well for us. Our space (and the necessity for two corner cupboards) meant that we had to have a small dishwasher - Bosch 45cm wide (several brands make them). It works really well if you have space issues.

I forgot to add - my friend who is renovating her kitchen has designed a narrow table on wheels to operate as extra bench space and sitting at table space.
