We have been intensively working on our kitchen planning for a little over three weeks now. Sometimes we even dream about it at night, but it’s an exciting topic.
At the moment, we have two options... a Nobilia kitchen (a good, solid mid-range choice) and Schmidt kitchens (a major European kitchen manufacturer), which we actually prefer slightly more in terms of quality.
The kitchen concept is mostly settled. Nobilia kitchens can be offered by various kitchen showrooms and are fairly easy to compare, so you quickly get a sense of the price and can find your spending limit.
However, we are at least 5,000 euros above our original budget and are a bit worried about starting construction with this in mind.
Do you have any tips or suggestions?
We have already cut back extensively on the appliances or only included what we really need. It’s simply the size that drives the total cost. We know that 10,000 euros won’t be enough, but hopefully, we can keep it under 15,000 euros.

We will probably choose Schmidt kitchens. Attached is the current plan. Quality and customer service have convinced us. There is currently a promotion offering free internal pull-outs, and we have a lot of pull-out cabinets. We made some changes to the appliances:
AEG:
Multifunction steam oven BS 9304701 M
Induction cooktop HK 854420 X-B
Miele:
Dishwasher G 4970 vi
Extractor hood DA 6096 W (possibly with filter)
We switched the sink from stainless steel to Silgranit.
The total cost is about 16,000 euros.
