Building the perfect kitchen can be a fun journey or difficult task depending on how you approach it. Many people see a good looking appliance and buy it, while some seek out the cheapest option and snatch it up. Both of these ways of furnishing your kitchen will lead to headaches and pitfalls, so why not try it another way? Take a walk around the room and imagine the appliances that will be there. Think about what you will be doing most in the kitchen. Then, you can go shopping and base your choices on looks and price.
Probably the most important and vital part of any kitchen is the refrigerator. Every type imaginable is available; you just have to know what you want. Side by side refrigerators are the new standard type replacing the old two door, freezer on top styles. They are convenient because they have a lot of vertical space for taller items like wine or soda, though they can be cramped. French door seeks to remedy the horizontal spatial concerns, by moving the freezer to the bottom and having two wide side by side doors on the top. This combines the vertical advantage while leaving room for longer items like pizzas. Many materials are available, from the standard white to the more showy black, as well as stainless steel and even glass. There are many excellent companies that manufacture all these types, including Maytag, GE, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, Kitchenaid, and Avanti.
Next, think about how you're going to prepare your food. Sure, you'll have your standard oven, stove, and microwave, but what about a toaster? These often overlooked items can be extremely handy, and are inexpensive. As if that weren't enough, there are now convection oven models available that can cook just about anything your standard oven can cook, albeit in much smaller portions. The benefit, of course, is how much faster the process is. Panasonic, Cuisinart, Oster, and Delonghi all make great toaster ovens. They can be mountable, digital, analog, or under cabinet if you so desire.
So take special care to weigh your options and figure out what you will get the most use out of, and then figure out what looks the best and what you can afford. This will help you get the most mileage out of your fancy new kitchen.
