Kitchen planning made easy

WITH OUR HELPFUL KITCHEN PLANNER

In the end, your personal tastes will define the looks of your kitchen. But any plan is based on certain data, which should be recorded before you enter the kitchen showroom. For instance, there is the floor plan of the room. The positions of doors, windows, connections, power outlets and heaters are important reference points for the planner. If you don’t want to make a sketch by hand, you can find useful tools online, such as the online kitchen planner presented by Nolte Küchen. In this planner, your plan starts with an empty room template, which you can adapt to your personal situation and the structural requirements.

The work route triangle

The “work route triangle” is very helpful for arranging your cabinets. It ensures ergonomic work routines and determines how three essential areas found in every kitchen are positioned in relation to each other: a corner for food storage, an area for cooking and one for washing dishes. These areas, arranged in a triangle, should not be more than twice an arm’s length from each other and should be planned so that several people have sufficient space.

Who is using the kitchen and how?

Of course, it is good to know how many people will be using the kitchen and how tall these people are. This information will let you adapt all working heights to a level that is gentle to everybody’s backs. Personal preferences while cooking should also be taken into account, for instance when selecting fitted appliances or thinking about your storage space requirements.

Well-used storage space

Modern kitchens offer many options for storing kitchen utensils in a well-arranged, efficient manner. This starts with extra-deep pull-out units that offer 32 % more storage space and goes all the way to special working heights, for instance Matrix 900 by Nolte Küchen. This combination of a larger base unit (900 mm) with a lower plinth and a delicate-looking worktop is ergonomic and increases storage space by 20 % compared to the standard height.

Step 3: Retailer

Your local retailer will let you touch materials and get an entirely different impression of quality and design than the virtual space. Engage with your consultant’s advice - after all, your consultant has already planned hundreds of kitchens and has a good idea of what customers need – particularly where technical details are concerned.
