We're putting a new kitchen into an old house. Spent far too much on sorting out floor and plaster and ceilings, but all good so far.
Problem is that the walls aren't true. In particular, there's one wall that fades about 3cm from the corner across a ~3m stretch.
From right to left, there's a corner unit (1m) then oven (1.2m) then another unit (0.6m).
My question is whether there's a 'best practice' in terms of lining up.
If we line up at the back, then the left hand unit is stepped back 3cm from the right (albeit still square on), which means when we put the granite down it'll look kinked along the front, with the cooker in the middle aligned to the back wall and following the slope back, and the granite on the left 3cm further back than the granite on the right.
Alternatively we line up the front of the cabinets, this'll mean the front line is true, but the cooker will have a greater gap behind on one side (the left) than the other.
Just to complicate things further, we've a traditional cooker hood being installed, which has a large square cross section base, shrinking uplike a pyramid into a smaller cross section chimney that rises up and would be mounted flush to the (slightly sloping) wall. So if we're not aligning the cooker with the wall, we'll need to find some way to ensure that the cooker hood is true with the front of the cooker.
Would welcome any thoughts / suggestions.
Many thanks.
