When designing your kitchen, it should be customized from top to bottom. Whether that entails a paint job on your existing cabinetry, or getting brand-new quartzite countertops, the sky is the limit. Our kitchen designers can give you some help for free, by the way!
Once you have decorated your kitchen the way you want, it will be time to add some finishing touches – ones that are functional. Although large appliances (including your microwave, dishwasher, oven, and fridge) are all obvious, you might be curious about small appliances taking up precious space in or on your countertops and cabinets.
Consider the following small appliances every kitchen should have:
Toasters
Toasters are one of the must-haves when it comes to small appliances. This breakfast staple allows you to toast bread within minutes. Toaster ovens can also heat up any leftover pizza or chicken nuggets, as well as make them more crisp.
Blenders
Blenders can emulsify, mix, or purée your food. They can also blend liquids. As such, you can use them as a go-to appliance when making creamy soups or fruit smoothies.
Food Processors
Although they are a lot like blenders, these small appliances come with subtle differences. A food processor can handle thick foods (for instance, shredded cheese and chopped veggies). They are also capable of creating party dips and sauces (including basil and tomato pesto).
Slow Cookers
These small appliances are often used by busy families – particularly in the winter and fall months. Slow cookers are ideal for making a hearty stew and chili. Simply prepare your food when you leave for work, and by the time you come home, you will have a satisfying and hot meal ready and waiting for you.
Stand Mixers
If baking is something you like doing, and stand mixers will be essential. They are ideal for beating batterers and blending dough. Stand mixers happen to be heavier and larger than their handheld counterparts. Consider having one of the heavy-duty variations installed in your base cabinets.
Coffee Makers
If you brew an entire pot or prefer individual cup pods, you’ll need your own coffee maker in the kitchen. Even if coffee is something you don’t drink, your guests might when they stop by. As such, this is a small appliance to keep in the kitchen.
Wine Coolers
Although wine coolers aren’t necessarily essential, they can be convenient when you are entertaining guests – particularly if there is a bar in your home. Wine coolers are much smaller in comparison to a mini-fridge and can chill dozens of wine bottles without hogging up space.
