For many clients, buying kitchen appliances may be their last step of kitchen assembly. But aiming to design your own kitchen, you should know the details of appliances in advance, such as varieties, models, dimensions & specific requests. This will help a lot when planning the kitchen.

In recent years, more and more integrated appliance are launched and become popular trends. In many modern kitchen design, these integrated appliances often appear.

Integrated appliances are fixed in cabinets, or even with the same door material as other cabinets. Thus the cabinets in which appliances fixed, should be designed at the beginning.

On the other hand, sink and some kitchen appliances such as gas stove or induction cook-top are fixed in counter top. And they may occur space of the cabinets underneath. To make sure these cabinets are big enough for those built-in-counter accessories, we should have an idea about their sizes.

Please be patient when designer ask you what kinds of kitchen appliances will be in your kitchen, and consider what appliances are suitable for you.

Now most of the appliances companies will upload the installation guidance or brochure of their integrated products on their own websites. Large on-line appliance shop will also put assembling details on description. You can collect these information when selecting models.

If you don’t have an idea or collect all the details in a short time, designer will help you to reserve enough space for these appliance according to regular size. Then you can select those appliances in the designing stage. But all model or dimensions of appliances should be offered before cabinet production start.
