next125 kitchens in Manchester and Cheshire
What makes next125 different
next125 is Schüller's design-led sister brand, made in the same factory in Herrieden, Bavaria. Its name comes from the 125mm grid that every unit is planned on, which is why the lines meet so neatly from one cabinet to the next. The thinking comes from the Bauhaus, and there are two carcase heights, both set by how people use a kitchen today.
Who next125 suits
next125 suits architectural rooms, particularly extensions and open-plan spaces where the kitchen is part of the view. The range is curated rather than comprehensive, so you get fewer door styles, each designed to work with the others. If you want a warm, traditional family kitchen, or you're working to a tighter budget, Cass's brand guide explains why Schüller or Keller may suit you better.
Handleless, or handles if you'd rather
Most people know next125 for the NX 902, a recessed rail that runs flush along the units so the fronts read as one surface. That's one option of several. Bar and knob handles are available too, and some appliances can open with a press or a knock on the front. Your designer will help you decide which suits each cupboard, depending on how often it's opened and by whom.
The materials next125 is known for
next125 offers around 15 to 20 door styles, and the variety comes from the materials. Our next125 displays and samples let you handle them, and it's worth doing, because lacquer, glass and ceramic look quite different in daylight than they do on a screen. Your designer will give you an honest view on how each one will cope with your household.
Ultra-matt and velvet lacquers
Deep, soft-looking colours, from Sahara beige matt velvet to a bright curry in Dual Cure UV lacquer.
Glass
Back-painted and matt glass fronts, such as agate grey, for a smooth, reflective finish.
Ceramic
Large-format ceramic fronts, including a marble-look grigio, for a stone look on doors and panels.
Real wood veneer
Genuine timber veneer, such as oak in pearl grey, where you want warmth in a modern room.
SensiQ
A fine matt laminate with an anti-fingerprint surface, which is easy to live with in a busy kitchen.
Clever details
The next125 cube and frame for open storage, and a panel garden that grows herbs under daylight lighting.
Built like Schüller, with a lighter footprint
Under the finishes, a next125 cabinet is built just like a Schüller one, with 19mm boards, laser-sealed edges and Blum hardware. Its OceanIX handles are made from old fishing nets. Schüller offsets the carbon footprint of the factory across all three emission scopes using certified projects, and holds the highest level of the Climate Neutral Furniture Manufacturer label. Our German vs British article explains the engineering.
Why buy your next125 kitchen from us
Danil brought next125 to the business when he joined in 2014, so we've been designing with it for more than a decade. We're a direct stockist, and our Timperley showroom has next125 displays you can see, touch and open. A kitchen planned on a 125mm grid relies on accurate walls and floors, so our 40-point check comes before anything is ordered, and our fitters install it to the signed drawings.
What does a next125 kitchen cost?
next125 usually costs more than a comparable Schüller kitchen, because of its materials and the design work behind each range. How much more depends on the fronts you choose and what you pair them with, especially appliances and worktops. Our pricing guide shows what real Suga kitchens cost at three levels of specification, and a design appointment will get you a price for your own room.

Questions about next125 kitchens
See all FAQsIs next125 the same as Schüller?
They're made by the same company in the same Bavarian factory, with the same 19mm boards, Blum hardware and laser-sealed edges. The difference is the design. next125 is a curated, design-led range planned on a 125mm grid, using materials such as ultra-matt lacquer, glass and ceramic, and it usually costs more than an equivalent Schüller kitchen.
Do next125 kitchens have to be handleless?
No. next125 is known for its NX 902 recessed rail, but bar and knob handles are available too, and some appliances can open with a press or a knock on the front. Your designer will suggest what works for each cupboard, based on how often it's used and who's using it.
Can I see Schüller, next125 and Keller in your showroom?
Yes. Our Timperley showroom has working displays from all three brands, so you can open the drawers, feel the finishes and compare them side by side. Appointments aren't essential, but booking ahead means a designer will be free to show you round and answer your questions.
What’s the difference between Schüller, next125 and Keller?
