No lamp by the bunk bed, no light in the closet, nothing. Granted, this was a state college, but still! It was dark in there!

Dream Kitchen Appliances

Wouldn’t it be nice to have one? (Photo Credits)

When you spend a good couple of hours in the kitchen preparing food, and tidying up, you will most likely dream of having kitchen appliances that will make your life easier.

Association of Edison Illuiminating Companies Well, most will not actually fall under the category of “need,” rather it will fall under the category of “nice to have.”

Amazing Interior Design for instance featured more than a dozen kitchen appliances that most mothers or cooking hobbyists would dream of having.

“A kitchen is incomplete without some cool appliances and if you are fond of cooking in a kitchen then appliances must be really important for you. So, take a look at some really cool kitchen appliances.”

Check out the appliances here.

Nice to Have

Oola.com meantime featured 25 kitchen appliances that most homeowners may want to have. Electrical Contractors

“From appliances that separate the yolk from the whites to bags allowing you to make grilled cheese in the toaster, there are many kitchen tools that make cooking way too simple. These appliances are definitely items you can live without, but what’s the fun in that?”

The Kitchn.com meantime shared photos of modern kitchens with cubbyholes where you could place your state-of-the-art kitchen appliances.

“So many of our small appliances are indispensable. I love my stick blender, mini food processor, and juicer, but they are hard to store in my apartment kitchen. Some of them are in the pantry cabinet, others are stashed away in a storage box with other lesser-used kitchen tools, and a few sit out on our open shelving unit — meaning they have to be washed each time before they are used. If you’re in the process of making some upgrades to your kitchen, consider including a built-in appliance cubby. An appliance cubby lets you basically keep your appliances on the counter, but without it seeming like they are on the counter. Plus you can add an outlet inside the cubby to make all those electrics easier to use.”

Check out the kitchen design idea here.
