This is an exciting time for designers who are looking for a way to incorporate new technology and innovations. Today designers have more ways to maximize space and make homes beautiful at the same time. One of the easiest ways to do that is to incorporate a built-in design.
Built-in appliances have always been popular because they fit easily into a kitchen. If you have a client who wants to use panels to conceal appliances, manufacturers now offer a full array of finishes, textures, and colors. These panels not only conceal appliances but add a flair of elegance and sophistication to every kitchen design. Since the hinges, displays, and buttons are hidden, the eye can focus on the cabinetry, countertops, and décor, the elements that make a kitchen beautiful and unique.
Most clients prefer dishwashers and ranges to be built in, which makes them easier to use. Recently more clients have also requested that microwaves be built into the cabinetry. This design puts the microwave at a good height, making it easily accessible and creating more countertop space at the same time. Increasingly popular, refrigerator drawers provide extra space for food and drink items, but they can also be hidden inside a cabinet.
Built-in appliances don’t just stop in the kitchen either. More and more people are using the built-in design in their laundry rooms. Even washing machines and dryers can be concealed in a cabinet, and designers can build cabinets and countertops above them. A countertop above a washer and dryer unit can be used as a folding table or shelf for detergent and dryer sheets.
With all these options available, designers are at the forefront of maximizing space and beauty by finding the perfect built-in appliances for your clients. The fun part is looking at all the options available and finding the best fit for your designs. Happy shopping!
