Modular Is In

According to interior designer Nicole Sassaman, modular kitchen units are definitely a must for storage, "There are so many options now for your cabinetry and appliances. People are leaning towards modular cabinets. These pieces are streamlined and can be easily replaced if a cabinet face gets scratched or damaged. Laminate wood with protective coatings also make the finishes on these cabinets more durable." Photo courtesy of Nicole Sassaman

It's All About Integrated Appliances

Fully integrated refrigerators and dishwashers are all part of the new luxury in kitchen storage. "At GE Monogram we have a built-in refrigerator that is truly flush with the surrounding cabinetry. You don't even realize that it's a refrigerator. The top compartment is a fridge, the middle is a freezer and the bottom can be a freezer, fridge or wine drawer depending on your needs that day," says Paula Cecere from GE Monogram.

"Under-the-counter refrigerators include beverage centers to create more space in the kitchen. These items can be custom paneled to blend right in with your cabinetry and are great for storing produce, beverages and snacks for the kids," says Cecere. Photo courtesy of GE Monogram
