next125 kitchens in Stockton-on-Tees
next125 is the architectural end of the German kitchen market: reduced, precise, and built around a 125mm grid that gives the brand its name and its lines their discipline. Every dimension on the page resolves to that grid, which is why a next125 kitchen reads as calm rather than busy — and why it rewards a room with good proportions.
We design and install next125 from our Stockton-on-Tees studio for customers across Teesside and the wider North East, and — more usefully — we keep it on the floor next to Schüller and Nobilia so you can judge the difference in person rather than in a brochure.

About Next125 German Kitchens
Next125 – Premium German Kitchens
Next125 is the international premium brand of Schüller Kitchens, where German precision manufacturing meets craftsmanship and innovative design. With a focus on quality, every kitchen incorporates advanced mechanisms such as Primus pull-out systems and uses only authentic, sustainably sourced materials.
The hallmark of Next125 is its 125mm grid system, which ensures clean, minimalist lines across every design — the inspiration behind the brand’s name. The result is a collection of timeless, elegant kitchens that deliver premium German design at outstanding value, making luxury kitchens more accessible.
German Engineering at Scale
With over 1,800 staff and annual production of more than 130,000 kitchens, Next125 has become one of the most sought-after German kitchen brands in Europe and beyond. Their kitchens are exported worldwide to meet growing demand for innovative, durable, and design-led interiors.
Evolving With Modern Living
Next125 continues to evolve, ensuring its kitchens remain sleek, contemporary, and on-trend while maintaining the brand’s reputation for minimalist, functional elegance. This commitment to progress allows them to stay at the forefront of the kitchen industry, delivering designs that balance innovation, practicality, and long-term value.
Comparing Design
Award-Winning Next125 Kitchen Design
Next125 has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Red Dot Design Award and the German Design Award, recognising its position as a leader in innovative German kitchen design.
These accolades are the result of Next125’s commitment to modern, design-led features, such as:
The Cooking Table – a fusion of functionality and elegant simplicity.
The Floating Kitchen Design – creating lightness and architectural refinement.
Advanced Fenix solid-core surfaces – with anti-fingerprint technology for a flawless finish.
Next125 Design Principles
The philosophy behind Next125 kitchens is built on seven core principles:
Precision
Elegance
Creativity
Reduction
Functionality
Emotion
Technology
By following these values, Next125 is able to deliver individually tailored kitchen designs that reflect the diverse needs of its customers while remaining functional, timeless, and beautifully engineered.
Comparing Quality
Materials and finishes
The finish range is where next125 separates itself. Matte and gloss lacquers are produced with a water-based process; beyond those there are ceramics, real wood veneers and glass fronts that shift noticeably in different light — which is exactly why photographs are a poor way to choose one.
Fenix solid-core surfaces are a particular favourite for their anti-fingerprint behaviour: on a dark matte island, that is the difference between a worktop that looks immaculate and one that records every breakfast.
Comparing Value
What a next125 kitchen costs
next125 projects generally start at around £40,000 — installed, VAT included — and rise with size, specification and materials. It is the most expensive of the three German brands we hold, and we would rather say that plainly than describe it as affordable.
What moves the figure is mostly what you would expect: the size of the room, how much tall cabinetry it carries, the worktop material, and the appliance package. If your budget sits below this band, Schüller covers roughly £25,000–£45,000 and Nobilia starts from around £15,000 — all installed and VAT-inclusive. The full breakdown is in our guide to German kitchen prices in the UK.
Comparing Competitors
Warranty and aftercare
Every next125 kitchen carries a five-year manufacturer’s warranty. Beyond that period we will always do our best to repair anything that goes wrong — a description of how we work rather than a contractual guarantee, and we prefer to keep the distinction honest.
We survey, design, supply, install and project-manage with our own team, so responsibility sits in one place from first sketch to final snag. Lead times depend on specification and we confirm yours in writing at quotation stage.
