Tips for choosing materials for your kitchen
From ceramic to SensiQ and natural stone, there is a multitude of materials to choose from
The right material gives a kitchen texture, conveys mood and feelings and creates a relaxing atmosphere in which every guest feels at home. We reveal how materials differ, what makes them stand out and how a range of materials can be combined.
To help you create your custom-designed kitchen, next125 offers a wide range of front and worktop materials that combine unique properties with visual elegance. Whether a working kitchen or show kitchen, a home for a family or an individual – next125 guarantees top-quality authentic materials with properties that optimally reflect your personal requirements. This year, the brand Systemo has added another premium material to its range: natural stone.
Feel free to jump directly to your favourite material: CERAMIC, WOOD, GLAS, LINOLEUM, SENSIQ & MATT VELVET-LAQUER, QUARTZ & NATURAL STONE
Wood, stone and glass– are just a handful of the materials that stand out for their special features and qualities.
CERAMIC
Resistant to scratches, cuts, acids and chemicals, ceramic represents elegance and innovative functionality. Robust enough to be used in laboratories and space technology, ceramic is able to cope with the mishaps of everyday family life. What’s more, a range of natural colours creates a high-quality look. Real wood fronts are an excellent complement to a ceramic worktop, combining warm wood with hard stone.
Ceramic and wood – a combination that oozes natural calm
WOOD
Real wood fronts are an excellent complement to a ceramic worktop, combining warm wood with hard stone. As a naturally renewable and therefore resource-saving raw material, wood will win you over with its unique character and grain. Whether a solid wood worktop or real wood veneer front, calming wood provides visual grounding and has a pleasantly smooth, natural feel.

5 REASONS FOR USING WOOD IN THE KITCHEN
Wood is neither old nor new, outdated nor modern – wood is simply timeless and will always be with us. Wood gives next125 kitchens an extra dose of charm. Find out what else makes it great for planning your kitchen in this handy guide.
GLASS
An eye-catcher in every kitchen: glass. In fronts, display units and worktops, glass fascinates onlookers and creates exciting effects. Hygienic and easy to clean, glass is perfect for use in the kitchen and can be combined with other materials for a contemporary look. A real head-turner: the new mirrored glass front by next125 has a high-quality finish and is packed with architectural features.
Be it fine-textured reeded glass in a display unit on the wall or a bronze-tinted mirrored front – glass is always a highlight in the kitchen
GLASS IN NEXT125 KITCHENS
In the world of interior design, the focus is increasingly shifting towards reflections and sightlines. So it’s no wonder that this transparent material is so popular. After all, glass in the kitchen does more than add a touch of modernity; it also reflects a lifestyle.
LINOLEUM
Those who prefer to opt for sustainable solutions but don’t want to compromise on quality will find what they’re looking for in next125 linoleum. With a high-quality finish and 80% of the content made of sustainable raw materials such as linseed oil and wood flour, this material stands out for its silky smooth texture.
Harmony all around
Surrounded by nature and contemporary materials. This is how an ultra-modern kitchen can be planned with a clear conscience.
SENSIQ & MATT VELVET LAQUER
We recommend that families take a look at Systemo’s material SensiQ which has an anti-fingerprint coating and is extremely resistant to external influences. Water repellent and highly effective against germs, this material is easy to clean after coming into contact with food or other substances. What’s more, the modern production process creates a surface that looks elegant and feels great to the touch – a perfect combination with the technical advantages of SensiQ.
The haptically and visually impressive velvet matt lacquers from next125 are another alternative. Its diverse colour palette, ranging from ultramarine and jaguar green to Tuscan yellow or Indian red, allows for a multifaceted coordination of different colours and materials.
Colour Concept
Colours give an impression of lightness and vibrancy, and highlight the occupants’ personality. For next125, the carefully chosen range of top-quality lacquers is thus a key component of our design.
QUARTZ & NATURAL STONE
Natural stone – here in mystic grey – embodies constant elegance and individuality.
With their distinct characteristics, unique feel and exemplary appearance, different materials stand out due to their varying features. The optimum choice and perfect combination of materials depends on your particular living situation and personal preferences.
