It’s all too easy to institutionalize around the placement of kitchen appliances and put them where everyone else does, but with a little more creative thinking, you can redesign your kitchen to fit you, rather than the masses, and so on. it is like.
It’s all too easy to simply place your fancy kitchen appliances where they’ve always been, but with a little extra knowledge you can go beyond predictable placement without vastly exceeding your kitchen budget.
Stainless steel is the obvious choice, but instead, think about a drastic color change and request appliance samples that match your appliances to your kitchen cabinets. Also think of a sculpted kitchen extractor, rather than a pull-out clad design, already a true masterpiece.
Tips for placing kitchen appliances
• Why should a dishwasher be installed at floor height? Why not elevate it to a medium height location about 60-70 inches off the floor and then place your microwave on top of it? You will find that these locations are more accommodating to the use of the appliances than simply having them in their normal positions, lower to the floor.
• Place built-in ovens side by side rather than on top of each other, at the proper height so you can easily see inside both.
• Elica’s well-designed ‘statement’ cooker hoods are becoming very fashionable and think about the design of your cooker before opting for one that simply ‘gets the job done’.
• Consider housing your small kitchen appliances in a mid-height kitchen cabinet that sits about 40 inches off the floor, as this will make them easier to reach, and that means you’ll use them more 🙂
• Don’t go for a standing refrigerator. Why not consider using drawer-style refrigerator units that look like kitchen drawers? They are easier to use and take up less space.
• Place a small food preparation sink inside your kitchen island, as you will find that most of your food preparation will be done from there and you will avoid making a mess in your entire kitchen.
• Consider placing a folding LCD TV under one of your wall cabinets so it can be folded out of sight when needed, but won’t take up valuable space. Also consider turning it into a media center or kitchen PC, allowing you to connect to the Internet, watch movies, listen to the radio or TV from a single unit.
