Creating Your Dream Kitchen Around Appliances and Accessories

Watch any home improvement show on television - most designers will include the kitchen in their remodeling plans. Often painting, flooring, and walls are the focus of the renovation. However, many homeowners don't have the time or want to deal with the mess of a total remodel.

Does this apply to you? Can you have the kitchen of your dreams without totally destroying your home? Of course! Here's how you can use appliances and ordinary kitchen accessories to make your culinary dreams come true!

So, what should you look for in new appliances, and what equipment is most important in a kitchen? For most, the cooktop and oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher offer conveniences people can't live without. These machines have also received major upgrades in recent years.

Let's look at how each contributes to your dream kitchen.
When preparing to buy cooking appliances, each homeowner should decide what hardware fits him or her best. Cooktops come individually or as a part of an all-in-one range and oven. Cooktops can be glass, ceramic, or metal. Some might prefer a wall oven to the all-in-one unit. Many times an individual will make purchasing decisions based on personal taste, price, and available space.

You will want to consider convection ovens versus a traditional oven (these appliances are powered by either gas or electricity). Convection ovens are more efficient in that they use twenty-five percent less energy to cook while cooking more quickly than a conventional oven. The convection oven costs slightly more, but you will soon recoup that money in savings on your power bill.

You will need no special kitchen accessories when using a convection oven, but once you've dirtied your pots, pans, and bakeware, you will want a dishwasher so that you won't have to wash everything by hand.

Few people enjoy hand-washing dishes (much less have the time), so a dishwasher is considered a necessary appliance. Dishwashers today are less noisy, use less water, and clean more thoroughly than older models. No pre-rinsing required! Many washers use up to fifteen percent less water than models only two or three years older. Others feature thirty minute washes to save both time and money; still others feature options that allow you to set a timer for washing at a more convenient time.

Perfect if your dream kitchen involves clean dishes with minimal effort! While the oven/range and a dishwasher are two of the most important kitchen appliances, one must include the refrigerator on the list of must-have items.

Not only is the refrigerator most likely the largest appliance in any kitchen, it is also probably the most important appliance you own. Food storage is imperative even for those who don't enjoy cooking. Today's refrigerators come in a variety of sizes and designs and offer a plethora of features. Like your ice cream a little on the soft side? Now certain models offer settings that allow homeowners to set more precise temperatures (no more setting ice cream out to thaw!).

Some refrigerators offer adjustable door compartments and shelving units. No longer will you be forced to sacrifice freezer space for the convenience of an ice maker as many new units feature smaller devices. LED lighting is present in most newer models as well. Whether you prefer an upright fridge/freezer unit or want a smudge-proof stainless steel model with a French door, there is a refrigerator to fit your style!
Finally, no dream kitchen is complete without the perfect set of accessories. Your perfect kitchen gadgets really depend upon you and your personal preferences! Those who enjoy cooking will covet cookware sets.

Health conscious individuals may seek out juicers and blenders for tasty smoothies. Coffee fanatics will demand the perfect pot whether it be a percolator or a coffee pod machine. A dining table and chairs will most likely complete the kitchen of your dreams; be sure not to ignore small items such as place mats to accentuate the colors of your dream kitchen.

Also, you can add inexpensive items such as clocks, decorative soap dispensers, even bulletin boards to brighten up your space!

Creating the kitchen of your dreams doesn't have to involve gutting your space! You can achieve your fantasy cooks'room with the right appliances and kitchen accessories.
