I've been eyeing up Franke sinks, because although I'm having an Ikea kitchen, the only sink I like is the extra deep Boholmen which has no drainer. Franke sink and a half sinks are somehow more aesthetically pleasing.
I'm afraid Lidingo looks cheap in person IMO. If money is tight, go to Ikea regularly and look through their bargain corner. Most of my utility room has come from there, including the most amazing deep Numerar sink, which can fit a whole bucket in and has an integrated WASHBOARD. Even OH was excited at the 60% off sink. I have put Applad into the utility, with some nice-ish stainless steel doors.
Pan drawers much easier than pan cupboards, especially with a shallow drawer above for pan lids.
No extractor. They are MANKY (this is my personal opinion, feel free to ignore it, especially if you have a nice one that works).
Gas hob is the only way to go. Any other way is madness.
Eye level oven is so much easier with kiddywinkles about. We are having a free standing dishwasher (in stainless steel to match oven, hob and sink) but a built in tall larder fridge in a mid level cupboard, a larder mid level cupboard next to it, then the oven next to that. I wish we could afford to swap our very expensive free standing microwave for a built in one. But we can't. Our freezer is getting shoved into our utility and the Smeg fridge that I lusted after for years is going back on ebay as it won't fit well with my Scandi inspired mid century gloss white and wood kitchen with wrap around counters. Dribble.
We have bought our floor already, and personally I think it is important to avoid too many clashing media in kitchens. So our cabinets are gloss white and one wall of gloss grey. Our worktops and floor are basically the same kind of wood, and then all our appliances, sinks and taps are stainless steel. Table at the other end is wood, like the floor, the chairs and benches are white and grey gloss like the cabinets. I loathe stone/granite/laminate worksurfaces anyway (and I don't really like corian either) but if I had them, my floor would tone in either in material or colour.
We have a white sink like that now. It is NEVER clean. I know stainless steel gets grubby, but at least it doesn't look actively filthy constantly. It only looks clean after I've bleached it. And then only for ten minutes.
