Today’s busy families are looking for kitchens that are functional. With this in mind, designers have added drawers to appliances from refrigerators to microwaves and more to make your kitchen more functional for all family members. Traditionally kitchens have used a triangle set up to increase efficiency. Kitchen ranges, refrigerators, and sinks were placed in close proximity to eliminate extra steps while preparing meals. Today’s appliance drawers have allowed designers to redesign this triangle arrangement. Appliance drawers allow you to keep the foods to prep close at hand and the capability to heat food without cluttering the prep area. This allows larger appliances to be placed out of the modern triangle.
Accessibility
Drawers increase accessibility for aging adults, people with disabilities, and kids. Drawers allow people with mobility issues to access appliances that they may not otherwise be able to use. In addition to accessibility, appliance drawers can increase kitchen safety.
Appliance drawers allow kids to help more in the kitchen by making areas more accessible. Drawers can make getting after school easier and increase a child’s ability to help with kitchen chores.
Entertaining
With kitchens becoming the social hub of many homes, appliance drawers provide extra work stations to allow you to socialize with guests. Another helpful feature for entertaining are warming drawers which are useful for warming plates and keeping food warm.
Customized Design
A customized design will add to the budget of your kitchen plan but it will also allow you to blend your appliance drawers seamlessly with your cabinetry giving you the look you dream of. Because of the added price tag, choose appliance drawers that you will use, you won’t want to use an expensive drawer for storage no matter how clever it may seem.
