General overlook of the process to getting a new kitchen
Getting a new kitchen may seem like a very long, tiring, and overwhelming process…but that should not be the case at all. We try our best to make the whole process as simple and as enjoyable as it can be, because you need to be in the right mindset always in order to make the correct choices for your kitchen, as it is not a small project that you change up every few months, a kitchen must be a product that you buy with the intention of keeping it for some years, and it must also involve a process put in place that is relaxing, and that you look forward to going through again after a while. The kitchen is the heart of the home, it is the most functional place in the house, where we spend hours within it to prepare our delicious meals, and so we must ensure that we enjoy being in the kitchen. It is the room which must always be kept the cleanest and the tidiest. In most homes, the kitchen is also where most of the money is spent, as it contains so many valuable features, appliances, and tools, and it is the room that most increases the value of your home depending on its own value…and of course a German kitchen will make the whole house worth much more than the same home but with another type of kitchen.
The first step into making a kitchen is to consider what you would like your kitchen to consist of, and where each component will be located within the room. his will all depend on your priorities, preferences, and your usage of the kitchen. For instance, some may need their kitchen to be as practical as possible, as they would like to store many things in their kitchen such as a large number of plates, pots, or even small machinery. Other customers would like their kitchen to be as easy to use as possible, as they use their kitchen quite a lot and for long hours, so for instance they would like a large hob and a large oven, but they would also want the sink to be right beside the dishwasher for example, for the purposes of ease of use. The third category of people are those who do barely use the kitchen, but they would like their kitchen to be as glorious as they can imagine it to be. The design will differ completely depending on the various kinds of requirements of the kitchen that people have. With rough measurements of your space, you can sit down with one of the consultants at the showroom, and draw out a rough outline of what you would like your kitchen to look, and what you must have in your kitchen, or what you do not need at all within your space. With that, you must make your budget clear, and that is the budget excluding the appliances, fitting, tiles, and worktop. This initial budget sets the guidelines for the kitchen cabinets only.
Before finishing off the rough plan, there are a couple of additional vital options that need consideration too, and these will also make a difference not only to the price, but also to the general design of the new kitchen. Most importantly, you must think of which style you are attempting to achieve in your kitchen. German kitchens come with three general categories for that, and those start off with shaker style kitchens, which are the traditional looking ones with indents and complex designs within the doors, in addition to very bulky and thoughtful handles. There are also modern kitchens, which tend to have smooth looking doors with very streamlined and elegant handles for the doors, and even though these kitchens look quite simple, as the name suggests the Germans manage to make it seem very modern and flattering. Then there are the handless kitchens, which feature very clean straight lines within the design, with no handles or any curves to disrupt those clean cuts. Our German kitchens also come in three separate ranges, which are the classic, concept and the systemat kitchens, and these ranges come with their own features such as modifications to the internal carcass in terms of colour, so that you may opt into having a lava grey or a light grey carcass instead of the standard white one. All of these features depend on whether you really need them or you do not, but they do not make much of a difference to the price of the overall kitchen, so our advice is that you do not compromise on the beauty of your kitchen in your eyes, if it all over a small percentage of the overall price you are paying.
Once all of this is planned roughly on a piece of paper, this can be sent off to the designer, who will work on a 3 dimensional render, which presents you with a very accurate representation of how your kitchen will look like, with the worktop and flooring of your choice as well, to create a little digital mood board for you to make sure that the colours you have chosen will work together in complete harmony. Once the design is complete, you will also get a final quote alongside it, and you can then book appointments to have a seat with the designer and finalise some options, or play around with the cost to make it perfect for your personal budget. Once the design has been finalised, you will pay a small deposit, and the kitchen will be manufactured in the factory in Germany, and it will arrive assembled into the UK, to the location of your choice, in six weeks time, ready to be fitted within two working days, following the tiles of course, and followed by the worktop and the appliances.
You can see then that the process of ordering a new kitchen seems very simple and enjoyable when broken down into smaller steps, and that is what we aim to do with our German kitchens, so we hope that everyone looks forward to getting a new kitchen when they need one, and that they will be happy to go through the smooth process.
