Kitchen Design Site

The way you have to look at built in kitchen appliances is that each one will save you space in your design and allow to include things you might not have previously had the space for.

The typically built in kitchen appliances are things like ovens and hobs but you can get almost anything you want built in to your kitchen, like fridges, freezers, washers and dryers. Every kitchen design is different and as such, there's no standard number of appliances you should have built in.

When you're thinking about what appliances to have built in, always start by considering functionality. Some built in appliances need to be smaller in order to be fully integrated. So for instance, if you have a big family, it's likely a built in fridge will be a much more difficult proposition as you'll need all the space you can get.

The next stage is to consider how you want your kitchen to look. Some people like to have built in kitchen appliances wherever possible, simply because they look neater being hidden away by the same doors that the cupboards and draws have. Other kitchens keep some appliances seperate because they add another dimension to the room.

For instance, in contemporary kitchen design, metallic cookers and ovens are usually left out in the open because they add a modern element to the space. The same is true in country kitchens where traditional stoves are always the central focus and are displayed proudly.
