About Schüller
Schüller Möbelwerk has been building kitchens in Bavaria since 1966. It is still family-run — Markus Schüller leads the business today — and has grown into one of Germany’s largest kitchen manufacturers, producing around 170,000 kitchens a year, employing more than 2,300 people and reporting a turnover of €758.8 million in 2023.
Scale matters more than it sounds. It pays for tooling, tolerances and quality control that smaller workshops cannot justify — which is why every Schüller cabinet arrives rigid and factory-built rather than flat-packed and assembled in your kitchen. That single difference is the honest dividing line between a German kitchen and most of what is sold on the British high street.
See a recent Schüller project: a pebble grey Matera kitchen in Bishop Auckland.
Unrivalled Design & Functionality
The range, and the storage that makes it work
Schüller’s catalogue runs to more than 300 front patterns, combining into over a million possible configurations. In practice that means you are not choosing from a showroom’s worth of compromises — you are specifying a kitchen around your room, your storage habits and how you actually cook.
Ergonomics you feel every day
Cabinet heights, worktop thickness and plinth heights are all variable, so the working surfaces can be set to suit the people using them rather than a factory default. It is the sort of detail nobody notices in a brochure and everybody notices after a fortnight of cooking.
Storage that earns its place
Beyond standard carcasses, Schüller builds in genuinely useful systems: OrgaWall vertical storage, integrated charging points, and compartmentalised drawer inserts that stop the deep-drawer chaos most kitchens end up with.
Uncompromising Quality & Sustainability
How a Schüller kitchen is built — and what is guaranteed
The engineering is unglamorous and it is the reason these kitchens age well:
- High load-bearing shelves — no sag under a full run of crockery.
- Soft-close hinges and runners throughout, not as a paid upgrade.
- Moisture-resistant coatings on vulnerable edges, which is what usually fails first in a British kitchen.
- Height-adjustable plinth feet, so a kitchen sits true on a floor that isn’t.
The warranty, stated plainly
Every Schüller kitchen carries a five-year manufacturer’s warranty. Beyond that period we will always do our best to repair anything that goes wrong — that is a description of how we work, not a contractual guarantee, and we would rather say so honestly than dress it up as one.
Haus of Design: A Premier Schüller Showroom in the UK
See Schüller beside next125 and Nobilia — in one room
We keep two Schüller displays on the showroom floor, built as full working kitchens rather than door samples on a board. You can open the drawers, load the shelves and see how the finishes behave in daylight.
More usefully, you can compare them without driving anywhere else. Haus of Design is the only kitchen studio in the North East where you can compare Schüller, next125 and Nobilia side by side in one showroom — which turns an abstract argument about German brands into fifteen minutes of opening and closing things. Most people arrive with a favourite and leave with a different one.
Our showroom is at 15 Portrack Grange Road, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 2PH, open Monday to Saturday, 09:00–17:00. See the showroom, or read how the three brands compare side by side.
A Strong Partnership Built on Quality & Expertise
What a Schüller kitchen costs
We publish our price bands because vague answers waste everyone’s time. Most Schüller kitchens we install land between £25,000 and £45,000 — installed, VAT included. That is the whole job, not a supply-only figure with the fitting quoted separately later.
Where a project sits in that band comes down to a handful of things: the size and shape of the room, how much of it is tall cabinetry, the worktop material, the appliance specification, and how much building work is needed before a single cabinet goes in. Appliances and stone worktops are usually the two biggest swing factors.
For the full picture across all three brands — including what a supply-only quote leaves out — read our guide to German kitchen prices in the UK. If your budget sits below this band, Nobilia is usually the more sensible starting point; above it, next125.
Why Choose a Schüller Kitchen?
Lead times, and how the job actually runs
From order to delivery, a Schüller kitchen typically takes six to eight weeks. Design and survey happen before that, and installation follows delivery — so plan the whole project rather than the manufacturing window alone.
We survey, design, supply, install and project-manage with our own team. That matters mainly when something goes wrong: there is one point of responsibility from first sketch to final snag, rather than a supplier and a fitter each explaining that the other one caused it.
Is it worth the premium?
Honestly, it depends what you compare it to. Against cheap flat-pack, a Schüller kitchen costs more on day one and less over ten years, because the parts that normally fail — hinges, edges, shelf spans — are the parts it is built around. Against other German manufacturers the gap is much narrower, which is exactly why we would rather you came and compared all three than took our word for it.
Schüller questions, answered
How much does a Schüller kitchen cost?
Most land between £25,000 and £45,000, installed and including VAT. Room size, tall cabinetry, worktop material and appliances move it within that band.
How long does a Schüller kitchen take?
Six to eight weeks from order to delivery, plus design and survey beforehand and installation afterwards.
What warranty comes with it?
A five-year manufacturer’s warranty. Beyond that we will always do our best to repair anything that goes wrong.
How is Schüller different from next125?
Broadly, Schüller offers the widest range at this level, while next125 sits above it — more architectural, higher specification, and typically £40,000 upwards installed. Fifteen minutes with both in the showroom settles it faster than any brochure.
Do you install, or only supply?
Both, end to end — survey, design, supply, installation and project management by our own team.
Can I see one before I commit?
Yes. Two Schüller displays are on the floor now, alongside next125 and Nobilia, at 15 Portrack Grange Road, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 2PH — Monday to Saturday, 09:00–17:00. Book a free design consultation or call 01642 635635.

Are Schüller kitchens good quality?
Yes — and the reasons are specific rather than reputational: rigid factory-built carcasses, high load-bearing shelves, soft-close hinges and runners throughout, moisture-resistant coatings on the edges that usually fail first, and height-adjustable plinth feet so the kitchen sits true on a floor that is not. Every Schüller kitchen carries a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Who owns Schüller kitchens?
Schüller Möbelwerk is a family-run German manufacturer, founded in 1966 and still led by the family today under Markus Schüller. It is based in Bavaria and produces around 170,000 kitchens a year.
Are Schüller kitchens expensive?
They sit in the middle of the three German brands we hold: most Schüller kitchens we install land between £25,000 and £45,000 installed, VAT included. Nobilia starts lower at around £15,000 and next125 starts higher at around £40,000, so the honest answer depends entirely on what you are comparing against.
