Kitchen units

Options
I am thinking I want more cupboard space in my kitchen. At the moment my units and oven are against the wall with the tall fridge in the corner.
I want to move the tall fridge out of the corner, further around, then I can have units in the corner. Ready made units in Wickes are a fixed size, not sure how to do this. Perhaps new units up to the oven.

    My issue is that I want to fill a gap because there is a base unit and wall unit already there. The gap that the tall fridge fits into is 65cm. The units at Wickes are 925mm
    I am guessing that I will need units specially made to fit into the gap, which will cost more.

    It will still be easier to visualise with an image of some sort.

    You image seems to be a link pointing back to your email account.  You need to download it and then attach it to the post, using the image>file button.

    this means nothing to me. if you want help post a birds eye view plan of the kitchen, showing what you have now, and what you would like to change it to
  • Either move the existing wall unit or just replace it 

    You should be able to fit something like a 1000mm base unit against the wall and just put 1 door on it

    Yes, I was thinking that for the units to carry on around the corning, I could just place a 500mm unit next to a new 1000mm unit and then similar on the wall. There would just be a 200mm gap in the corner. Initially I thought that a special corner unit would be required.

    If you want to go around the corner, then that's exactly what corner units are for.  They're available off the shelf like any other unit.

    What's on the right ?

    What make are the base unit and wall unit ?  You nay be able to source a corner unit to match - but these units are quite cheap.   It may be that with the corner unit in place you end up with a gap of about 300mm  between it and the cooker - a good place for the kitchen bin. .

    The work top is probably easier - last year I bought lengths to match a 2007 install
