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 also chose a recirculating system, but ours is one of the most expensive models in the kitchen with an activated carbon filter. If the house design aims to save energy and make use of waste heat, then an exhaust system would really be counterproductive. Although you will probably hear many arguments against this from family members, most of them usually have no experience with airtight houses.
Above all, the mechanical ventilation with heat recovery will also be exhausting the air!
There are only 1.5m (5 feet) between the recirculating hood and our intake ducts.
If there’s ever an unpleasant smell in the house, just run the mechanical ventilation with heat recovery at maximum for 1 hour.

A recirculation hood is generally installed with controlled residential ventilation systems.Thank you, Yvonne, for the clear statement.
