01Consultation

What a kitchen designer near you should actually do

A good kitchen designer does more than draw boxes along a wall. They ask how many people cook at once, where the groceries land, which appliances you really use, how you entertain and what you never want to see on the counter. Those answers decide the layout long before anyone chooses a color.

At NOVAHAUS that conversation happens in our Glendale showroom, among the fronts, worktops, hardware and lighting you are choosing from. We then confirm the measurements of your room, or work from your architect’s drawings, and develop the design in 3D, so you can walk around the island, open the drawers and check sightlines before anything is ordered.

Because we are the official Nolte Küchen partner in California, the design you approve is the kitchen that is built: every unit, front and interior fitting is specified from the Nolte range and made in Germany to your plan. Our design process page explains each stage in detail.

02What is included

Kitchen design support at every stage

  • Showroom consultation

    A focused conversation about your room, routines, wish list and budget range, held among real materials.

  • Measuring

    Accurate dimensions of walls, windows, ceilings and services, or a careful review of your drawings.

  • 3D kitchen design

    A detailed 3D plan you can review from every angle and refine with us until it feels right.

  • Material selection

    Fronts, worktops, handles, lighting and floors chosen side by side, so the palette holds together.

  • Online planner

    Start at home in our 3D kitchen planner and send us the result as a brief.

  • Trade collaboration

    Architects, interior designers and builders receive the drawings and specifications they need.

03German system, American home

Planning in millimeters, living in inches

Nolte kitchens are planned on Matrix150, a 150 mm (about 6 in) grid for heights and joint lines, with three carcass heights of 750, 800 and 900 mm (29.5, 31.5 and 35.4 in) and base units from 30 to 120 cm wide. That system is what gives a German kitchen its even joint lines and generous drawers.

A good kitchen design in Los Angeles translates that system to American life: the worktop height that suits the people who cook, the exact width of the range or refrigerator you have chosen, ceiling heights in a 1920s bungalow or a new hillside build. We resolve those details in the plan, not on installation day.

05For the trade

Working with architects and interior designers

Many of the best kitchens are a collaboration. If you are an architect, interior designer or builder, we can plan Nolte kitchens from your drawings, share 3D views and specifications for your client presentations, and keep your design intent intact through ordering.

Our trade program describes how we work with professionals, or you can send us your plans and we will set up a working session with a designer.

Ask a designer
What happens at a kitchen design consultation in Los Angeles?
We talk through your room, how you cook and entertain, the look you are drawn to and your budget range, and walk the showroom together. You leave with a clear picture of the layout options for your room, the front and worktop families worth considering and the next steps: measuring, a 3D design and a detailed quote.
Is kitchen design free?
Many people start by searching for free kitchen design; what matters more is knowing what you will get. Visiting the showroom and talking through your project costs nothing. Before any detailed design work starts, we explain what is included for your project and how design time is handled, so you can decide with full information. For a head start on budget, the German kitchen cost guide explains what drives the price.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
A floor plan or rough measurements, photos of the room, a list of appliances you want to keep or buy, and any inspiration images. Architects’ drawings are ideal if you have them.
Can I start designing online?
Yes. Our 3D configurator lets you try layouts, fronts, worktops, lighting and gadgets and send the result to our team as the starting point for your consultation.
Do you design more than kitchens?
Kitchens are our focus, but we also plan closets and wardrobes, bathroom vanities, flooring and stone and tile so the whole home works together.
