People of Reddit, hear my plea!
I have just moved into the Munich area, due to a work deployment, and now have unexpectedly been faced with a uniquely German 🇩🇪 problem….. There is no Kitchen.
Both me and my wife enjoy cooking – and seeing as she will not be able to work whilst here, it is probably prudent to find a decent kitchen- Happy Wife, Happy Life… and all that.
However the flip side to the same coin is that we will only be here between 3-5 years from now, and relocating back out of Germany – thus if we cannot sell the kitchen at the end, then we will have to dispose of it 😕
I have looked at IKEA, which is quoting approx €7k for the attached design (not including installation) – I am loathed to spend that much considering the maximum time we will be in Germany…
Thus my plea:
-
What is a sensible amount to spend on a kitchen given my position?
-
What other places could I look at to get something of a similar nature to the pics I have attached, at a reasonable price given my position? Can this be ‘designed’?
-
What traps/pitfalls/peculiarities should I be aware of in finding/buying/installing a kitchen in Germany?
-
Can I run the 3phase (for oven) connection around the room, ie to the other wall, without causing any damage to the rented property?
-
Help! 😅
