In short

  1. 01A door next to a corner, a tall unit or a wall can hit the neighbour's handle as it opens. The fix is a filler, opening the door the other way or a wider-angle hinge.
  2. 02A drawer right next to the corner needs a filler, so its front and handle clear the cabinet on the other wall.
  3. 03A wall unit over a window does not show on the floor plan. That is why every wall is checked on its elevation.
  4. 04The hob does not go right next to a wall or a tall unit. It needs free worktop on both sides.
  5. 05The exact appliance model and its installation instructions are needed before the final design, not just before fitting.
