Streamlined DESIGN

Integrated appliances help create a clutter-free and seamless kitchen space, putting the design of the kitchen first, and maximising space to make way for extra luxuries such as built-in wine coolers and eye-level coffee makers.

THE PROS

With the kitchen becoming the social epicentre of almost every modern-plan home, the demand for integrated or hidden appliances is increasing. blu_line’s Philip Richards says, “They are definitely becoming more popular. As our modern homes are open-plan, the kitchen forms the architectural anchor to the home and therefore the need for a seamless furniture-look space is becoming more important.”
