What you will learn.

  • Plan a 450 cm kitchen run and its appliance bays.
  • Use grouped Auto drawers, shared drawer systems and individual overrides.
  • Coordinate upper cabinets, finishes, the worktop and a fluted backsplash.

Begin with the room and the appliances.

The walkthrough starts with the dimensions of the complete run. Prepare a reusable refrigerator, then build its enclosure and plan the sink and independent dishwasher bay around the available space.

Try the first part before following the entire build. Set your own appliance dimensions and clearances rather than copying the example into a different room.

Keep the fronts and the systems coordinated.

The drawer sequence shows how grouped Auto layouts help align the fronts across the design. It also distinguishes a shared drawer-system choice from a deliberate item override.

The oven surround uses native panel items. Later steps add the wall cabinets, sage and oak finishes, worktop and sink opening before the final inspection.
