Did you know?
The secret of German kitchen design lies in having an interest in Walter Gropius who established, in 1919, a 'house of building' or 'building school' commonly known as Bauhaus. He was an architect influenced by the modernists. Their ethos was radically simplified form, rationality and function and the belief that mass production was consistent with artistic free spirit.

German kitchen design principals go back to the 1920's
When creating a kitchen design in the German style your goal should be to achieve a balance between functionality, architecture and aesthetics. The successful combination of these should result in a kitchen design that is part industrial, part domestic and characterised by clean, straight lines, the use of different heights and angles.
Kitchen design using colour, texture and light. How we bring your kitchen design to life using good interior design practices.
How colour is used in kitchen design is really
significant because it plays such a crucial part in
affecting emotion. An effective combination of
colours may make your kitchen design appear
more energetic and exciting, or understated but
sophisticated. However an incompatible colour
palette can result in a kitchen design disaster.
Color will determine the mood of a kitchen.
Analysis has demonstrated that red can quicken
ones heart rate and respiration, in addition to
increasing appetite. Yellows, particularly low-
toned yellow, may make individuals feel more
cheerful. Used as an accent colour, iridescent
yellow can draw attention and enliven kitchen
designs. You are able to use colours to regulate
how large or small the kitchen appears.
Nobilia kitchens come in a wide array of colours and finishes which means your kitchen design can be unique and personal.
With kitchen colour assuming increased
importance, Nobilia kitchen cabinets, offer the
consumer more choice than most kitchen
manufacturers. With more than one hundred
different coloured kitchen doors to choose from
and the facility to mix and match colours and
styles, it is possible to create a kitchen design
that is uniquely yours. Nobilia kitchen colours
include shades of brown, yellow, red, green and
blue, while pastel colours have made a return in
2010 . Also surface texture is becoming
increasingly important in kitchen design using
materials like stainless steel, natural woods,
glass and polished surfaces.
We use kitchen design software from Planet Fusion to produce our customer's kitchen designs. The end result is not quite photo realistic but provides a good platform to visualise your new kitchen design.
Following the basic principals of kitchen design can help you when it comes to choosing colours for your kitchen.
You may feel confident choosing almost any colour scheme for your kitchen design by conforming to a few
fundamental guidelines:
Whatever colour scheme you select for your kitchen design pick out one base colour and no more than
one or two accent colours. It is good practice to employ 3 colours in kitchen design with a sixty-thirty-ten
ratio between them. Your base colour should take up around 60% of the total, in all probability the walls,
kitchen units or worktops; 30 per cent should make up the secondary colour, perhaps the flooring, window
and door finishes with incidentals such as kitchen utensils, small appliances, pictures etc comprising the
final ten per cent. Monochrome colour combinations may benefit from the utilisation of several tints, tones
and shades. A dab of primary colour, like red, can enliven monochromatic kitchen designs.
For complementary colour combinations apply 2 colors diametrically opposite to one another on the colour
wheel, maybe purple and yellow, red and green, or turquoise and orange. These palettes are intense and
brings a dramatic feeling and energy to any kitchen design.
Fortunately with our experience in kitchen design and the wide array of colours available through our
Nobilia kitchen brand we can help you to achieve the look and style you want in your own kitchen design.
