Seven questions<\/strong> before the first decision<\/h1>","inhalt":"

Before you decide on colour, natural stone or appliances, it is worth answering seven more fundamental questions.<\/p>

They determine whether your kitchen merely looks good later on, or whether it genuinely works for the way you live.<\/p>","buttons":null,"videoname":"","videoname_mobile":"","thumbnail":null,"bild":4085,"mobile_bild":4016,"hintergrundfarbe":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"textblock","sprungmarke":"","typ":"Nur Text","headline":"

How you cook and where your guests are<\/h2>","subline":"The first three questions concern your daily use","subline_position":"left","inhalt":"

1 \u2014 How will you actually cook?<\/strong> Mostly for two? For your family? Regularly for a larger group? The answer determines how much worktop, grilling area and equipment you really need.<\/p>

2 \u2014 Where will your guests be?<\/strong> When you cook, you still want to be part of the evening. Seating areas, sightlines and counters therefore shape your plan at least as much as the appliances do.<\/p>

3 \u2014 Which routes will you walk?<\/strong> From the house to the kitchen. From the barbecue to the worktop. From the sink to the table. The more natural those routes are, the more naturally your kitchen will be used later.<\/p>","buttons":null,"button_light":false,"hintergrundfarbe":"","bilder":null,"video":null,"bild":null,"spruch":"","bild_1":null,"bild_2":null,"zitat_hintergrundfarbe":"#EE6F5F","zitat":"","accordion":null,"bild_und_text":null,"inhalt_links":"","inhalt_rechts":"","textslider":null,"textbildslider":null,"textwiederholung":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"textblock","sprungmarke":"","typ":"Bild links und Text rechts","headline":"

Location and connections<\/h2>","subline":"Two questions that can hardly be corrected later","subline_position":"left","inhalt":"

4 \u2014 What weather is your location exposed to?<\/strong> Fully exposed, covered, in strong sun, or close to a pool or the coast? Your location determines which materials and engineering solutions make sense. Salt-laden air places different demands on a kitchen than a sheltered courtyard.<\/p>

5 \u2014 Which connections already exist?<\/strong> Electricity, water, waste water and, where applicable, gas should not be considered only once the kitchen has been planned. The earlier these points are clear, the fewer compromises arise later.<\/p>","buttons":null,"button_light":false,"hintergrundfarbe":"","bilder":null,"video":null,"bild":3893,"spruch":"","bild_1":null,"bild_2":null,"zitat_hintergrundfarbe":"#EE6F5F","zitat":"","accordion":null,"bild_und_text":null,"inhalt_links":"","inhalt_rechts":"","textslider":null,"textbildslider":null,"textwiederholung":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"textblock","sprungmarke":"","typ":"Bild links und Text rechts","headline":"

Effect and endurance<\/h2>","subline":"The two questions that are considered least often","subline_position":"left","inhalt":"

6 \u2014 What role should your kitchen play in the outdoor space?<\/strong> Should it sit quietly within your architecture, or deliberately structure the outdoor area? This decision influences form, position, colour and proportion.<\/p>

7 \u2014 How should your kitchen look in ten years?<\/strong> A FREILUFT Kitchen<\/a> lasts considerably longer than most design trends. It is therefore worth choosing colour and form by more than what looks interesting today.<\/p>","buttons":null,"button_light":false,"hintergrundfarbe":"","bilder":null,"video":null,"bild":3862,"spruch":"","bild_1":null,"bild_2":null,"zitat_hintergrundfarbe":"#EE6F5F","zitat":"","accordion":null,"bild_und_text":null,"inhalt_links":"","inhalt_rechts":"","textslider":null,"textbildslider":null,"textwiederholung":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"textblock","sprungmarke":"","typ":"Nur Text","headline":"

If you like, we will go through the seven questions for your outdoor space specifically.
