I guess you could just buy a standard 'base cabinet with doors' and take the shelves, bottom and back out to fit an appliance in, but this seems a unsatisfying workaround.
Looks like that's what IKEA does, at least by the pic

Kitchen advice please. I'm in the middle of putting together a (nowhere near 40k) new kitchen. I'm using Ikea carcasses for all the ground level stuff and a mate who has a fabrication company is doing the sides/doors/drawers/doors etc from ply and building the wall-mounted cupboards. My question is how integrated appliances (dishwasher and washing machine) work in this process. Assumption is the items themselves (as long as they're the correct height) basically act as the 'bit' of the whole (i.e. there's no separate carcass built around the appliance), you run the worktop directly over them (maybe there's some sort of block or space-maker that you'd use?) and fit side panels/doors with some dedicated hardware. I can imagine how this would work for the dishwasher but I can't see how you'd get a door to work for the washing machine unless it has a carcass around it for the door to be attached to. But Ikea don't appear to offer anything specific. I guess you could just buy a standard 'base cabinet with doors' and take the shelves, bottom and back out to fit an appliance in, but this seems a unsatisfying workaround. Any input much appreciated!
