Tips for Purchasing New Appliances for Your Kitchen Remodel

A new kitchen remodeling project is the perfect time to expand the capability and functionality of your space. And one of the best ways to do it is by outfitting it with the latest in kitchen appliance technology. These days, there are so many choices out there for new kitchen appliances that it may seem daunting. How do you know which features you’ll actually need, and which ones you’ll barely use? Here are some tips to help you make sure you get the best new appliances for your new kitchen design!

Consider Size and Spacing

Size and spacing plays a big role in determining what kind of appliances to bring into your kitchen. If you have a larger family, for example, it makes sense to look at larger refrigerators. But don’t just buy larger appliances just because you have the space for it. All of this can and should be deliberated during the design stage. You’ll be able to determine just how large of a range you’ll want and need, and this will help narrow down your options when at the appliance showroom.

Style

Every kitchen will have a specific design style that it is trying to achieve. It’s important to ensure that you are happy with the overall aesthetics of the space, and appliance design can play a big role in unifying the design concepts of the rest of the space. Ensure that the design of the appliances complements the design of the other elements like the cabinetry and countertops.

Energy Usage

Kitchens tend to be one of the biggest energy consumers in the entire home, so looking into energy efficient options is one of the best ways to save money on utility expenses. Look for Energy Star ratings on the appliances at the showroom – this will give you valuable information about the expected energy usage of that particular appliance every month.

Day to Day Usage

Many appliances today are outfitted with features that are designed to make day to day usage much easier. Some connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi and can be controlled with a smartphone app. Others have more robust features designed for the amateur chef to create new masterpieces. Knowing how you use your kitchen every day (and how you want that to evolve over time) will clarify the decision making process if the sheer volume of options starts making your head spin!
