Upgrading your appliances is one of the most practical ways to give your kitchen an upgrade. Appliances have certainly come a long way when it comes to both their design and ability. If you're in the market for a new stove, fridge, or microwave this year, we are sharing a few exciting kitchen appliance trends to be aware of before you make that ever-so exciting choice
Kitchen Appliance Trends You Should Know For 2022
Try Switching Up Your Colours
Stainless steel appliances are timeless and classic. But why not test the boundaries and go big and bold with an appliance colour that compliments your kitchen instead? While you may think that appliances should always look professional, understated, and monochromatic, colour is absolutely in this year. By opting for a complimentary coloured stove or fridge, you'll make a huge statement and pull the rest of the design elements in your kitchen together into one unified, colour-coordinated look.
The Rise of Small Appliances
Speaking of colour… another trend on the rise this year is small, colourful kitchen appliances. There are so many new and interesting options for countertop appliances, and they offer a wonderful way to inject a pop of colour and contrast into your kitchen. Brands like Smeg and KitchenAid offer a wide array of small kitchen appliances like air fryers, insta pots, mixers and juicers in a variety of colours.
When it comes to storing these appliances - the choice is yours! Some of our clients still prefer the look of clear countertops, so they opt to tuck these appliances away in pocket doors or extra deep drawers when not in use. On the other hand, many of our clients like to have them out on full display! If your home has space to allow it, a smaller enclosed prep kitchen or pantry area offers a happy medium - where you can leave these items out, while still remaining relatively “out of sight”!
Functional Kitchen Islands for Hidden or Paneled Appliances
Appliances are no longer limited to the perimeter of the kitchen. If you've got enough space for a kitchen island, 2022 is the year to really put it to use. While you may think of the kitchen island simply as a space for prepping food, eating breakfast, or organizing your groceries, try to expand your imagination. A kitchen island can actually be a great spot to house hidden or paneled appliances.
By relocating your appliances to a custom-built island, you'll free up counter space and improve your workflow. Plus, it always looks great!
Induction Cooktops
From increased energy efficiency to faster cook times to safe technology, induction cooktops offer a wide variety of benefits! Although sleek and sophisticated, induction cooktops work for both modern and traditional settings.
Induction cooktops also maximize space incredibly. This Wolf model is very slim, allowing for increased functionality and ample storage directly underneath!
Go Smart
As the tech world continues to develop at a rapid pace, we are seeing more and more appliances equipped with smart technology. Want to connect your stove to your phone? Or how about investing in a fridge that tells you when you need more groceries? Smart appliances will allow you to streamline and simplify your meal-planning and cooking into a finely tuned system — and who wouldn't want that? We predict that smart appliances are going to be everywhere soon, so if you're planning on purchasing new appliances this year, smart is the way to go.
