Smart planning ideas for your student kitchen

Creative solutions for small kitchen spaces

Intelligent storage ideas and space-saving furniture. For your student kitchen, use space-saving furniture with integrated storage solutions, such as tall-mounted wall cabinets or base units with maximum carcase height.

Utilize vertical space: Think vertically and make use of the vertical space. Hang hooks or shelves on the wall to create additional storage for jackets, towels or kitchen utensils.

The optimal kitchenette for students

Advantages of a compact kitchenette: Space-saving and efficient. Our models: From minimalist to modern. 

From mini-kitchen to storage champion

Storage space up to the ceiling: In the small rooms of student apartments, maximizing the use of vertical space is essential. At Nolte Küchen, we offer you the option to choose from 8 different wall-unit heights and 2 wall-unit depths. This way, you can individually adapt your kitchen to the room height of your student apartment and optimally utilise the storage space right up to the ceiling.

Matrix900 - base units with a carcase height of 90 cm offer a full 20% more storage space than cabinets with the standard carcase height of 75 cm. This way, the compact kitchen unit for students gains an additional drawer in the base unit!

Kitchenette with sufficient workspace

Slim electrical appliances and a sink with small dimensions provide more workspace in your student kitchen.

Small yet functional: cooking and washing up with system

In a small student kitchen, choosing a sink with a moderate width of 40 cm is crucial to have enough space for washing up and preparing, while simultaneously not overcrowding the limited workspace.

Cooking for fellow students? Induction hobs with two cooktops provide sufficient capacity for cooking and frying without overwhelming the limited space in the kitchen.

A Multifunctional Place

Home office space and kitchen furnishings: All in the same decor and enough space to have breakfast, cram for exams or stream your favourite series.

Storage space, workspace and comfort zone in one

Even in limited living spaces, a cleverly positioned counter can serve an extremely practical dual function. During the day, the counter transforms into an inspiring workspace, enabling efficient work from the home office. At the same time, in the evenings or at weekends, the counter provides a pleasant corner for enjoying meals or relaxing with a book, optimally utilizing the living space while also stylishly enhancing the room.

The base cabinet beneath the counter proves to be an extremely practical solution for maintaining a tidy work environment. Thanks to its generous storage space, work utensils can be easily and neatly stored. This not only helps in keeping the workspace tidy, but also enables efficient working, as necessary materials and tools are easily accessible.
