That kitchen is stunning! That's exactly how we want our wall units to be, I love the clean lines. We wanted a scabdi look but I think it's out of budget - where did you get the bottom unit fronts from? This is our plan - by default, using 2120 tall units and standard 720mm wall units our gap would only be 490mm which is probably not enough (though I've found a hood that allows 500mm). I think our options are as follows 1) Go up a size to 2300mm tall units and keep the 720 wall units - this would give a gap of 670 2) Stick with 2120mm tall units and use 575mm wall units - this would give a gap of 635mm (downside is we couldn't have bifold wall units) 3) Stick with the original plan but get a hob that includes in-built indiction (the width of unit kind of ruins the symmetry) Unless anyone else has any clever ideas?

Thanks - so I guess your wall units are above the tall units by 9cm? We are using DIY and I think pelmet to worktop is 49cm on our plan.

@JohnMo Our kitchen is about to be ordered, the clearance is 490mm in the designs...I've found some samsung hoods that allow 500mm What issues are we likley to run into with our installer? We can maybe raise 10mm like @Adsibob apparently did though it may look odd. Does kitchen refit need approval from building regs? I.e is this something we can ignore...?

@Adsibob did you solve this in the end? We have the same problem and also want low cupboards to line up rather than have a big gap for an extractor fan. We have about 490mm to play with which seems to be not enough...
