So this is the elevation of my proposed kitchen. It features a window splashback, with typical wall cabinets above, and a benchtop with base cabinets below.
They have initially drawn the window as 700mm high, which would mean that the wall cabinets start at around 1600mm above the ground, which seems to be above my wife's eye level. I have suggested that they reduce the height of the window and wall cabinets (whilst keeping the rangehood at the required level).
They have suggested to reduce it to 514mm (apparently it's a standard size for them.)
What do people think is the right height for the window, being I guess a compromise for letting enough light in, and having wall cabinets that are a usable height. If I reduce it to 514mm, then the total kitchen height would only be 2134mm in height, would that be too low*? Should I then look to increase the height of the wall cabinets?
*the total height from floor to ceiling is 2.7m, and my wife is 160cm tall.
