I'm in the process of planning a new kitchen which I plan to fit this coming spring (replacing my boiler first so waiting until the heating isn't needed anymore).

One thing that has struck me, naturally I'm trying to line up the wall cabinets with the base cabinets so all the doors are symmetric, however what do I do about freestanding appliances?

I need to accomodatea washing machine and a dishwasher amidst a cupboard run. Now if I allow a gap that matches the wall cabinets i.e. 2 x 60cm, that's not going to allow enough room to slide in two 60cm wide appliances is it, particularly given the amount a washing machine vibrates...

What do people normally do and how much gap do I need for a washing machine for example?
