For many years the standard look of home kitchens remained unchanged. Atop a tile floor and interspersed among the cabinets and counters are the kitchen appliances. Traditional kitchens tend to have easily removable appliances, but the increase in ease of movement often bears with it a decrease in design and features. For example, a standard size removable refrigerator may easily fit into any kitchen, but it’s not likely to perfectly match your decor, nor is it likely to offer features such as extended storage capacity. For a kitchen that goes beyond average, integrated kitchen appliances are crucial.

Built-in kitchen appliances give kitchens a beautiful seamless look that results from their impressive design. Integrated appliances are often lined in stainless steel while others may be a glossy black or white. Built-in appliances also offer the ability to be hidden completely, shrouded behind cleverly placed cabinet doors. Beyond their stylistic qualities, integrated appliances offer more features than available in standard appliances. A standard range may only include four cooking sections with an attached oven below, but many built-in rangetops have five or six cooking sections. Rather than an oven that is confined to the area below the range, a separate built-in single or double wall oven can be installed, extending functionality while elevating the kitchen’s elegance.

Integrated appliances are a welcome addition to any luxury kitchen. For more information on how to integrate new kitchen appliances, contact a sales associate at Florida Builders Appliance,Standards of Excellence or Westar Kitchen and Bath.
