No kitchen equipment should be without this: Practical cabinet pull-outs for a full view
It's not just if you love cooking that you keep a variety of ingredients, spices and cooking utensils in your kitchen. Everyone knows it: you need something, know exactly that you have it, but still can't find it. Chances are, the reason for this is that your kitchen isn't exactly the best organised.
But that's why there are a few things you can use in your kitchen.
But there is a simple remedy: a practical cabinet pull-out ensures that you no longer have to rummage through your cupboards, but can easily see the contents at a glance. Cupboard pull-outs put an end to long-forgotten groceries once and for all.
Equip your kitchen with high-quality flap fittings
Elegant wall units are at the top of most home builders' lists when it comes to kitchen fittings. Especially for wall cabinets and upper cabinets in the kitchen, high-quality flaps and the corresponding flap hardwareare a great alternative to conventional cabinet doors.
But flaps not only look classy, they also make it easier to access the contents and, incidentally, ensure that you never bang your head again.
Whether it's a high flap fitting, a high swing fitting, a high lift fitting or a high folding fitting - at Heimwerkertools you are guaranteed to find the right flap fittings for your wall units, as well as a large selection of hinges, opening limiters and flap supports.
Sliding doors and sliding furniture door fittings as a space-saving alternative
In recent years, a trend towards sliding doors can be noticed. Whether for room doors or furniture doors, sliding doors are slowly but surely outstripping conventional hinged doors
And for good reason, because sliding doors have great advantages. The most important benefit is undoubtedly that you can use sliding furniture doors even in the smallest living spaces. Where the normal revolving door takes up too much space, the sliding door unfolds its full potential.
However, any sliding door will only work smoothly if it is fitted with the right sliding door hardware. Which furniture sliding door hardwareyou need for your doors essentially depends on the format, the position of the running parts (bottom-running or top-running) and the position (inset or overlay).
Here at Heimwerkertools, we offer you running parts and running profiles, as well as guide parts and guide profiles from renowned brands, so that your sliding furniture doors function perfectly in the long term.
More safety with high-quality kitchen equipment: cupboard hangers, wall rails and co.
Whether wall cupboard or wall unit: If you want to mount cupboards on your wall, you should pay attention to the best quality and conscientious workmanship. A loose wall cupboard is not only a danger to your wall, but also to the rest of the furniture or the kitchen worktop and, last but not least, to your family.
In kitchen furnishings, you should make sure that the cupboards are of the best quality and are carefully made.
In the kitchen equipment range from Heimwerkertools you will find high-quality cabinet hangers, support plates, wall rails and cover plates - so you can be sure that your wall cabinets are mounted rock-solid on your wall.
Elegant sinks and taps: the showpiece of your kitchen
Another kitchen feature that most people plan with a lot of thought is the sink. Rightly so, because sinks and taps are a way to give your kitchen a unique touch that supports the character of your home
But what material should you choose when selecting your sink? That depends on your needs. Here's a brief overview of the most important features:
- Stainless steel: robust, inexpensive, timeless, heat-resistant and hygienic because it is food-safe
- Resin composite/artificial stone: scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, antibacterial, insensitive, stylish, long-lasting
- Granite/natural stone: sensitive, luxurious, natural, elaborate to handle
- Ceramic: heavy, stylish, resistant, but higher price
If you like the look of granite but want an uncomplicated solution for little money, alternatives made of cast stone are a good option.
Swivel fittings make corner cabinets an absolute space-saver
Corner kitchens have a special feature that has already caused many people headaches: What do you do with that pesky space in the corner? But this is no longer a problem, because there are solutions that make corner cabinets accessible in the truest sense of the word: the swivel fitting.
Swivel fittings for corner cupboards are an absolute miracle of space. Depending on the design, they make the hard-to-reach space in the corner easier or even very easy to access and offer an optimal overview of the contents to boot. With corner cupboard swivel fittings such as raw axles and semi-circular or full-circle swivel fittings, you can unlock the full potential of your corner cupboard.

Whether hidden or open: socket strips are a must for the equipment of every modern kitchen
A socket is not just a socket. Because a lot has happened in this area in recent years. Whereas socket stripsused to be a necessary evil that upset the design of the kitchen, they are now an integral part of kitchen equipment that blends effortlessly and discreetly into the kitchen.
The revolution was brought about by the now hugely popular hidden socket strips, which are easily accessible when you need them and disappear when you don't. Socket strips with a lift function or a hinged cover make it possible.
But there's another trend when it comes to sockets: more and more people are installing USB charging stations in various corners of their home - so you can charge your smartphone anywhere in your house without a power supply.
Why you should definitely not do without a ventilation grille
The ventilation grille is often forgotten when planning a kitchen, although it is indispensable when installing a refrigerator or freezer. Why is quite clear: refrigerators need good and constant air circulation. If this is not the case, heat can build up.
Since your built-in appliance then has to work harder to compensate for the heat build-up, you will incur higher electricity costs and at the same time the lifespan of your refrigerator will be reduced. A simple ventilation grille in the skirting board can help - saving you money and unnecessary risks.
Ventilation grilles are available in various materials and shapes. Which one is right for you is a matter of taste. The only important thing is that you regularly dust your ventilation grille so that the air exchange remains guaranteed.
This is what distinguishes good kitchen equipment: Convenient waste systems instead of cumbersome bins
Who doesn't know it, the absolute recycling chaos under the sink. But you can remedy that once and for all - with the built-in waste bins from Heimwerkertools.
Fixed waste bins and recycling solutions should not be missing from any kitchen equipment. They not only keep things tidy, but also prevent annoying odours. These modern waste bins open automatically with your cupboard door and are therefore quick and easy to use.
But rectangular versions equipped with pull-outs are also very popular and offer quick access to your bins. Which variant you prefer depends on your space and your needs. One thing is certain: with a built-in waste bin, you make your life easier.
Bar consoles: Smart kitchen equipment for an extra dose of design and space
If you want to give your kitchen a modern flair, a bar console should be a fixed component of your kitchen equipment. With bar consoles you can create a counter that is adjacent to your kitchen.
When you think of a bar counter in the kitchen, you may think of the ability to gather there for food or drinks. But one benefit that's often forgotten is that bar consoles give you an extra dose of storage space.
Whether round, angular or slanted, whether made of aluminium or steel: at Heimwerkertools you will find elegant bar consoles that will make your kitchen a real eye-catcher.
Lend your kitchen character - with a kitchen railing and other kitchen accessories
For many people, the kitchen is the heart of their home. But it's not just a place to cook and feast - for many, the kitchen is a place to meet. Unique kitchen décor such as kitchen rugs, minibars, kitchen railing and other kitchen accessories is an ideal way to add character to your kitchen.
Easy access and optimal overview with tie racks, belt and trouser holders
Of course, wardrobe accessories are not only relevant in the kitchen, but also in the rest of the home. So let's now turn our attention to what is probably the most important cupboard in the house, the wardrobe.
When it comes to wardrobe accessories, you can undoubtedly spend just as much on accessories as you do on your wardrobe itself, and it pays off, because a lot of wardrobe accessories make your life a lot easier. For example, belt and tie holders make it easy to find your accessories at a glance.
Practical pant holders have another advantage, namely that you can protect your trousers from creasing. At the same time, these organisational wonders ensure that your wardrobe will never be in chaos again - saving you a lot of time and nerves.
Dress hangers and hanger holders: how to keep your shirts and dresses crease-free
Another wardrobe accessory that will save your clothes from unsightly creases and give you a better overview are clothes hanger holders. Pull-out clothes hanger holders from Häfele, Gedotec or Emuca allow you to present your trousers, dresses and blouses in the best possible way - even if there is little space.
Hanger holders do not necessarily have to be used indoors. Folding hooks are also worth considering for the balcony or terrace. This way you can easily air out your clothes or dry individual items of clothing on a hanger.
All the more reason to use them indoors.
With full wardrobes, the question often arises: where to put bags, scarves and the like? A good way to store accessories in a space-saving, clear and uncomplicated way is to use multi-functional hooks that can be easily anchored in the existing hole spacing of your wardrobe.
Even more luxurious, they can also be used to hang bags and scarves.
Your wardrobe will be even more luxurious with elegant clothes hangers made of wood, aluminium or stainless steel.
