I'm fitting my worktops, finally. My kitchen is galley style ie a worktop either side of the nb. I've seen many worktops tucked all the way under the gunnels but usually leaving a small gap from the worktop surface to the underneath of the gunnel. I never liked seeing that gap and as my gunnels are at 91cm internally I thought they were just about perfect for having the worktop fitted snug. So today I offered up the two worktop sections. The first thing that struck me was that loosing the 9cm under the gunnel seems to make the worktops look overly narrow. The second thing was that they felt just a tiny tad too high. So I tried various heights and settings - funny enough leaving 3-4 cm under the gunnel helped give the illusion of more depth. But also bringing the worktops out 2cm seemed to help, when I did have them tucked tight under the gunnels. I'm wondering what to do now! Obviously there are other issues with the hob and the sink (actually the sink isn't too big and fits nicely whatever I do but I'd like to have it centered or aligned with the hob so messing around with the worktop positions obviously has an effect). I've already cut a slope to the cupboard backs so they sit in all the way but if I bring the worktop out a couple cm I can just drag the cupboards forward too. I guess I'm hoping for a good reason to do one thing or the other - I'd like to hear other peoples experience, if you have fitted your own kitchen. I took some photos to post but they don't really show what I'm on about. Who'd have thought it would be this complicated!
