Even if it is easily forgotten with so much coziness: Kitchens are functional spaces. Behind attractive surfaces lies a high level of comfort that can be flexibly adapted to individual needs. Cooking should be fun and easy. Good planning is therefore not only chic and cozy but also ergonomic. Pleasant working heights and clearly structured storage space are important ingredients. With Nolte Küchen, you have many design options.
Adjust the working height to your size, with the rule of thumb being: With a bent elbow, the distance between the forearm and countertop should be 15 centimeters. By combining base cabinet, plinth, and countertop, you achieve the right measure for you.
But which base cabinet now has the right height to ergonomically adapt to your height? The trend clearly moves towards homely kitchens that offer a comfortable working height, optimal storage use, and modern design.
We offer you under the name „Matrix+“ an extended range of three cabinet heights that are perfectly tailored to your needs: 75 cm, 80 cm, or 90 cm. Here we combine a homely presentation with a comfortable working height and additional storage space – and thus offer you maximum individuality and flexibility in kitchen planning.
Why is the working height so important? Well, if you stand relaxed and upright, it spares your back. Devices like ovens or dishwashers are therefore best installed high.
Because they prevent annoying bending and protect your back. Refrigerators with optimally reachable compartments and cooktops at a comfortable working height enable comfortable and safe work. The clever arrangement of the devices makes the kitchen not only more functional but also more efficient – perfectly tailored to individual needs and workflows.
Retractable sockets ensure a tidy appearance and offer more space on the countertop. They are protected from moisture, increase safety in the kitchen, and can be flexibly integrated into countertops, cabinets, or islands. Models with QI chargers, USB ports, or wireless charging surfaces offer additional convenience and make the kitchen more modern and functional.
Whether behind a continuous front or with visible division: drawers and pull-outs with a well-thought-out internal organization are perfect for anyone who wants to keep their kitchen utensils neatly sorted. Here, every item has its place and is immediately at hand without needing to move other items aside to get to the desired utensils. A clear advantage over hinged doors with shelves.
Apropos way! When it comes to ergonomics, walking paths also play an important role. How individual areas are arranged so that work goes smoothly depends not only on the kitchen shape but also on the respective circumstances. We have therefore dedicated a dedicated article to the topic, with even more tips & tricks!
