What’s Trending in Kitchen Appliances
Thanks to smart homes and the Internet of Things, kitchen appliances can do more than ever before. They can make the time spent in the kitchen more efficient, and can make kitchens look fabulous and modern. If you’re planning to sell your property, smart appliances may also make your home more appealing to potential buyers. Here are some of the latest trends in appliances to consider when shopping for new products.
From Cool to Warm
Stainless steel has dominated kitchen appliances for the last several years. While this style is in vogue, new options are also available. Ranging from copper to brass and even rose-gold, these three finishes add warmth to your space. You’ll see them on everything from pots and pans to fixtures and large appliances.
Refrigerators to Manage Your Food
Smart refrigerators do more than just keep your food cold. They’ll let you know when food is about to go bad or even provide images of what’s inside so you’ll know when you’re running low on certain items. Typically, they also feature an interactive touchscreen which allows you to find recipes or even order food online.
Two Ovens in One
Cooking holiday meals can be complicated when you need the oven for multiple dishes that all require different temperatures. Modern ovens resolve that problem with a dual convection system that enables two dishes to be cooked simultaneously at two separate settings. The single oven works as two, cutting cooking time in half.
Innovative Dishwashers
Contemporary dishwashers are designed to clean dishes both faster and more effectively. Some models have separate settings for various zones in your dishwasher to provide higher heat and water pressure for pans and dishes that are hard to clean. Others use a faster clean cycle for smaller or lighter loads to help save energy and water.
Built-ins
Another popular trend in appliances is the built-in look. This design allows your appliances to be integrated into the space without being overwhelming. The result is a clean look for your kitchen.
From microwaves that work like convection ovens to washers and dryers that clean your clothes in a smart way, modern technology has enhanced most of today’s appliance options. Find the technology that improves your life and makes your kitchen more streamlined and efficient.
