Our Process

The process of getting a new kitchen

Getting a new kitchen is a big decision. It is a transformation of your home which both takes time and interrupts your daily life and routines. That’s why we do our very best to make it all go as smoothly as possible through every step of the way.

For a start we have summed up the project process in nine overall steps, so you have an idea about how we work and what to expect. You can also find answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you still have questions or there are things you would like to understand better, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

The project process in 9 steps

Step 1

Discussing your dreams

Visit us at our showroom for a talk about your vision and ideas. Expect a minimum of one hour for us to get a good understanding of what you’re after.

Step 2

Plans and measurements

If it’s a renovation, now is the time for us to measure your kitchen space. If it’s a complete new kitchen we don’t measure your home until later in the process. Instead we design plans that meet your vision.

Step 3

Design presentation

Based on our talk and measurements or plans we develop several designs: Some based on your ideas and some exploring other possible directions. This usually takes 5-10 working days. We then meet in our presentation space and you choose your favourite design.

Production in Germany

We measure your home and make final adjustments to the plans if needed. Once the first payment is in, we place your order. All your kitchen components are manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory in Germany. This takes around 12 weeks from placing the order till receiving the finished kitchen.
