Must-Have Kitchen Appliances

If you are building, renovating or sick of staring at the old broken down fridge and stove that only has one good element, you probably have your eye on some of the latest and greatest kitchen appliances that are on the market. The latest colours and designs seem to match every interior design and modern features make household chores easier and give your kitchen a futuristic feel.



Colour Matters

Colour still seems to be one of the most important aspects of any kitchen appliance. Style is dictated by current trends and traditional white appliances just don't seem to be in anymore. Black is good at the moment, but stainless steel fridges and stoves really seem to stand the test of time. Whether your kitchen has hardwood floors and mahogany cabinets or classic linoleum with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances just seem to fit.

On the other end of the spectrum, some homeowners are looking to retro-styled appliances in specific colours that they find match their own personal tastes. Sleek might be a keyword for some, but others are looking to preserve the mood of a different era in the home.

Camouflage Appliances

One design idea that has been catching on recently is that of the camouflage kitchen. Appliances are hidden behind cabinet panels to blend in and create a seamless look. It's a neat approach to the kitchen, but you might find that you want to show off those expensive appliances rather than hide them away.

Reconsider the Dishwasher

Dishwashers provide so much convenience, but that awful noise every night has put plenty off the idea of installing one. Energy efficient, quiet dishwashing machines are now readily available and almost a necessity in any modern kitchen. Forget the hours spent at the sink, you won't even notice one running in the background.

Energy Conservation

Green is the buzzword and almost every appliance is trying to conserve energy and water to get itself a better energy efficiency rating. Make sure you keep an eye on the efficiency label before you buy - you'll save yourself money on running costs and be helping the environment at the same time with a set of eco-friendly appliances.

Treat yourself and style your home with some of the latest and greatest modern kitchen appliances. It's the most valuable room in any property - it's important that you give it its fair share of attention! Make your kitchen a focal point that you enjoy being in.
