What makes this style so popular?
Features That Define A German Style Kitchen
These features make a German kitchen feel minimalist and give them a timeless look that can fit into any home. Together, they create a kitchen that is both stylish and functional.
Flat Panel Door Style
One of the common features of a German kitchen is the flat panels on cabinet doors. This style embraces a minimalists style, creating a modern look. They not only look clean but they also stay clean better. With the lack of ornamentation, flat panel doors can easily be wiped down.
Sleek Lines
Sleek lines create a sense of sophistication and minimalism. They are a key aspect of the German style as it creates an uncluttered and modern look. Plus, the use of sleek lines also allows for easier cleaning and maintenance, since there are fewer edges and crevices for dirt and grime to accumulate. Sleek lines also give the kitchen a more spacious appearance, making it look larger and more inviting.
Frameless Cabinets
Frameless cabinets are a staple in most German kitchens as they maximise space creating optimum functionality The design is simple – the face frame is eliminated and just the box remains. The doors are attached directly to the sides of the cabinet box for a clean, modern look. Frameless cabinets are typically called “full access” because they allow more accessibility by eliminating not only the frame, but the centre stiles between two cabinet doors as well.
The heart of the home
What Homes Suit A German Kitchen?
There are several different types of homes that are ideal for German kitchens, with each having its own unique benefits. One of the most popular types for German kitchens is open-concept homes. These feature large, open living spaces, often with no walls or minimal walls separating the kitchen from other areas of the home. This makes moving between the kitchen and other areas easier, allowing for a more efficient workspace. In addition, open-concept homes often provide plenty of natural light, which is ideal for modern kitchens. German style kitchens are also a great option if you’re looking to add a modern feel to an older, traditional home.
Your kitchen your way
Designing a German Kitchen To Suit You
German style kitchens allow you to create the perfect space for their culinary needs. From the cabinetry and worktops to the flooring and lighting, there are endless options to choose from that allow you to make the most of your space.
Pairing A Worktop To Your Kitchen Design
Granite and quartz worktops are popular option for modern German style kitchens, they are both durable, non-porous and easy to clean. They come in a variety of colours and textures, allowing you to customize the look of your kitchen. Granite is a natural material, so each piece is unique, while quartz is a man-made material that can be made to look like granite. Both offer longevity and a timeless, elegant look, making them perfect for a modern home.
Textured Kitchen Finishes
Although modern German kitchens used to predominately feature flat doors in gloss or matt, increasingly popular trends have shifted significantly towards the use of texture. Be it wood, stone, or ceramic surfaces, these richly textured doors appeal as much to the sense of touch as to our sight, and what’s more they are practical and very easy to maintain. For example, where a gloss kitchen door will show fingerprints or spills, the same just isn’t obvious on a modern wood grain or rich stone veneer.
Maximising Your Space
The German kitchen style allows for flexible specifications and will be made to order. This means you can adjust the height of units, widths of worktops, and other specifications to suit the shape of your room. The philosophy behind German kitchens is to maximise space. You’ll be sure to get a kitchen that looks good and functions just how you want it to.

German Kitchen Colour Palettes
Choosing the right colour palette is crucial as it’s the first thing that people will notice when they come into your kitchen. To keep to the contemporary feel, German kitchens usually keep to neutral and light colour palettes. Colours such as beige, pine, grey, black, silver, gold and white create a gentle and subtle finish, allowing the open space and straight lines to stand out.
Why not play around with mixing silver, steel, gold and grey tones to add depth to your colour palette? Remember that these colours can also be applied to the smaller details too, such as the edge and trim of cabinets, and the window frames and skirting boards. Wood cabinets are also a popular choice, as they add a touch of nature, especially when coupled with a dark green or blue palette.
State-of-the-art technology
Smart Kitchens For Modern Homes
Smart technology is becoming increasingly popular in all modern kitchens, as it can make cooking and cleaning easier and more efficient. Appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and dishwashers can all be controlled and monitored remotely, allowing you to adjust settings, check the temperature, or even set a timer from your smartphone or other device. Smart lighting is another great addition to a modern German kitchen, as it can be programmed to turn on or off automatically, dim when needed, or even change colours to match the mood or decor.

Accessories like kitchen utensils, cookware, and dishes can be used to add pops of colour and texture to the space.
