If you’re looking to revamp your kitchen, you’ve come to the right place. We are going to talk about how to create a surface level renovation, using new appliances to get a new and more modern look in your kitchen. Let us begin.
1. Color – If your kitchen already has one color tone, you probably want to stick with it. White is a classic choice for appliances, black is sometimes secondary, and stainless steel is always popular due to its more modern look.
2. If you want appliances like your refrigerator and dishwasher to blend in, you can work with a cabinetmaker to camouflage your Sub Zero appliances.
3. Ovens – There are many different types of ovens out there, but if you’re serious about cooking and entertaining, you might want Viking double gas ranges or Wolf gas ranges. These bad boys have six to eight burners instead of the traditional four and are easier to control when you’re cooking than electric stovetops. You also have the option of stacking your ovens on top of each other, helping you save space. This is called a modular approach and it is becoming more and more popular today.
4. Range Hoods – These are a good investment because they prevent common cooking odors and annoying cooking smoke that often sets off a fire alarm. Plus, vaporized grease can dull new kitchen surfaces, while condensation and moisture can damage your home’s insulation. Range hoods direct all of this material to a common location to eventually move it out of the home.
5. Fridges: You can go for the traditional top-freezer, bottom-fridge, side-by-side freezer and fridge, or, my personal favourite, bottom-freezer. This style is used in Sub Zero appliances and is one of the best options for high volume refrigeration, typically with a 22 cubic foot capacity. Of course, these models are more luxurious and expensive, but they look good.
6. Size: The average refrigerator has a volume of 18 cubic feet. A general heuristic is 12 cubic feet for two people, and then an extra 2 feet per person. If you are an entertainer, the more space the better and if you like wine and have space, a wine cellar is a great option.
7. Dishwasher: Technology has made the dishwasher smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient than those of yesteryear. To further reduce energy use, choose a model with internal water heating, which takes the load off your home’s water heater. The more expensive models have optional settings for china, pots and pans, or glass, while the more basic ones have standard light, medium, and heavy settings.
The kitchen is often the center of family activity ‘from cooking and eating to lounging and relaxing, many families today even have a computer and TV in their kitchens. It’s important to make sure your kitchen is comfortable and your appliances are reliable. Your refrigerator, for example, is one of the only appliances in your home that needs to run continuously. So choose wisely, but remember that you can look for discount kitchen appliances that are late-season models or on sale to save some extra cash.
