Putting aside that I really like anthracite and black and they appear frequently in my own home (so I don’t reject them at all, quite the opposite), I think a) matte black is not practical for kitchens due to fingerprints from grease and similar, and b) it’s not attractive (for a kitchen).
I also don’t like the layout – the three-part division…
The L-shape doesn’t fit at all, the proportions are off, and the furnishing goes against the room. The narrow, long space clearly calls for a double-row kitchen.

The L-shape doesn’t fit at all, the proportions are off, and the furniture works against the room. That narrow, long room really calls for a galley kitchen with two parallel runs. Thank you very much. How would you arrange it? Tall cabinets and the second run along the wall with the windows?

Tall cabinets and the second row on the wall with the windows?Just off the top of my head now? 12:52 AM Yes, the tall cabinets along the top of the plan, the countertop along the bottom. As a nice-to-have, an island in the recess at the top of the plan. The right wall is flexible for whatever else is needed—either tall or base cabinets. You’d need to sketch it out, but I’m not going to do that right now 😉
I would also recommend you to post in the other forum and fill out the questionnaire there.
Basically, a Next of this size with a ceramic countertop can be within budget. However, I am missing some details:
- Cabinet height and total working height (plus your body height)
- Total number of drawers. I assume you have some internal drawers? I recall that these tall drawers, especially the lower ones, have a very large interior dimension that would otherwise mean wasted storage space
- For the tall cabinets at the bottom: internal drawers, regular drawers, or shelves? What kind of cabinets are those on the left and right?
- The 40cm (16 inches) cabinet in the middle—is that a pull-out pantry or a space tower?
- What type of 30cm (12 inches) cabinet is to the left of the cooktop? A pull-out pantry?
- Where is the dishwasher located?
Regarding the layout:
I find the oven and other appliances quite far from the cooktop. To me, these two should be closer together.
Could you please show the ground floor plan? Is this a closed kitchen? Is the floor plan still adjustable or fixed?

Yes, the tall cabinets at the top of the plan, the work surface at the bottom of the plan. As a nice-to-have, an island in the recess at the top of the plan. The right wall would be flexible, depending on what else is needed—tall or base cabinets. You would have to draw it up, but I’m not going to do that now 😉 Actually, the recess would have to be removed then. It just gets in the way. If the floor plan can still be adjusted.
