Question Horizontal Cabinet Question

I am planning on using both 30x 15 and 39x15 horizontal cabinets. I like the look of glass doors on the bottom row, so in the planner I stacked whz3015 over the avsikt wghz3015. My kitchen will be in the nexus birch.

After reading, it seems all the base horizontal cabinets are white......in the planner I used a a 30 3/8 perfekt on the exposed sides.....will this work?

Is there a different / better option?

Sorry if these are silly questions..or if I am spelling these names wrong.....I have never used any of this stuff and am in the process of planning a huge project!

Thanks in advance! I think I may be spending all my free time here!

Re: Horizontal Cabinet Question

The horizontal cabs come only in white...and the 30x15 horizontal is longer than the WFR3015, which makes stacking a bit of a problem.

Perhaps you can post your layout for feedback?

Question Re: Horizontal Cabinet Question

Ty torrus, I will try to post design.....but I am sometimes attatchment challenged!

This will actually be a workspace, not a traditional kitchen. Planner will not let me abut the cabinets as they wrap around the wall but others have told me this should not be a problem, that I will be able to brace them and the countertop will stabilize the area. I will be usuing the smaller round sinks (the name excapes me), and I need them where they are placed. The space has yet to be built, so plumbing can go anywhere, but I am assuming that placing it on the wall how I have it will not be a problem.....

My main question for this post is will this horizontal cabinet design work with the perfekt end piece hiding the white from the wall cabinets. I liked the look in the store, but didn't think about the ends as they were against other cabinets there.

Another question is the toekick area around the turn.....will this area be easy to cover?

I am also looking for flooring suggestion that go well with the Nexus birch cabinets!

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

My mac browser can't open your image so I can't see your IKEA planner layout.

I used three Rubrik white glass horizontal wall cabs; two 30x15 butted side by side to make a 60" run on one side of my galley kitchen, and hung a 39x15 horizontally over my sink area. They necessitated having perfect cover panels in light oak cut down and put on the ends and in one case the bottom.

I also had to do the same for the exposed sides of the base cabinets. The side panels are needed to coordinate the Akurum white cabinets with front doors and your decor.

hope it helps...good luck

Quietcool -- do you happen to have any pics of your kitchen that you could post? It sounds really nice.
