If you are currently considering redesigning your kitchen, then one of the main parts that you will be giving some thought to are your kitchen appliances. Something that you might want to consider in your kitchen if you don’t have them already, are integrated appliances.
Integrated appliances are the same as normal kitchen appliances, but rather than being freestanding, fitting into a space that is provided underneath units and work surfaces, they are built into the kitchen themselves. They are hidden within cupboards and behind panels so you cannot see the appliance until you open up the unit.
One of the main reasons for people to choose integrated appliances is the fact that they give the kitchen a cleaner and smoother appearance. They are also great for smaller kitchens where space is at a premium, because they don’t leave unused gaps between them and the other units unlike freestanding appliances.
Semi integrated units also help in a space like this – they are also built into the kitchen so you get the space saving benefits, but they can be seen from the front and are not hidden away, like this semi integrated dishwasher for example https://www.wellingtonshomeelectrical.co.uk/dishwashers/fullsize-dishwashers/semi-integrated.html
Most kitchen appliances can be integrated, so you can ensure that the appearance of the kitchen is uniform and you can design it how you want it – for example, some people choose to have some appliances fully integrated and some semi integrated, so it gives you the freedom to design your kitchen how you want it.
