Appliances

Appliances

One of the most important elements in a well-designed kitchen is choosing what appliances will go into it. There are a multitude of choices to consider. Attention to detail is critical and should never be an after-thought.

Style: What is the style of your kitchen? Is it Traditional, Country, Contemporary, Rustic, Eclectic? Whatever your style, you’ll want to choose appliances that harmonize with the style of your kitchen. For instance, if your home is a 1920’s traditional style home and you want to maintain the 1920’s style in your kitchen, you might want to consider using panels on your dishwasher and refrigerator versus shiny, sleek stainless steel that altars the traditional look you want to achieve. These fully-integrated appliances allow you to keep the integrity of the traditional look of your kitchen while utilizing the most current and cutting-edge technology. At Eiler Design Group, we utilize panels on appliances in a variety of styles in order to camouflage appliances while maintaining the overall look and style.

There are many manufacturers who make appliances that are panel ready; Viking, Subzero, Miele, Bosch, and GE to name a few. When choosing your appliances make sure you consult with your designer who should have the manufacturer’s specification sheet for the design plan.
