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.

Gutmann and Berbel were always recommended to us for recirculating range hoods. But for what these two cost as an upgrade, I can blow out warm air for quite a while.We decided on an exhaust hood, and believe me, you can really heat the room well when a good exhaust hood is running!

Also consider Novy from Belgium (picking it up saves quite a bit). They match the quality of Gutmann and Berbel but cost significantly less. They are hardly known in Germany.

Thanks for the tip. We already ordered the Berbel Skyline last year. The Novy was also a strong contender at a kitchen fitter.

Thanks Yvonne for the clear statement.There is one opinion – which almost sounds like a "rule," although it isn’t.
We have now ordered a ducted range hood, but it can also be used as recirculation – we’ll see what will actually be installed for now. But when I look at the price of the Skyline – sorry, something must be seriously wrong with me.
