Another way to “build in” your freestanding refrigerator is to actually build it into the wall, rather than cabinets. If your kitchen plan will allow it, this is probably the easiest and most cost-effective way to get the look, because you can make the opening the exact width and depth you require. You also won’t have any cabinet modification costs. contemporary kitchen by Margeaux Interiors Inc. - Margaret Presti Margeaux Interiors Inc. - Margaret PrestiSave to IdeabookEmail Photo This is particularly nicely done. The very linear refrigerator fits neatly into the opening and is trimmed out with house molding. The display shelf above draws the eye up. With a wine refrigerator next to the main refrigerator in a small peninsula cabinet, this is a good area for dispensing drinks.

In this case the refrigerator door sticks out beyon Smith & Vansant Architects PC Wine storage in the soffit?? d the base cabinets. But because there are deep side panels and a deep cabinet overhead, the refrigerator looks incorporated into the cabinetry and built in. A deep cabinet above the refrigerator is a good place for tray storage or even a TV, as shown here.

How does it stay in place underneath the counter and not roll out when you open the drawers” “I may eliminate dishwasher - roll out cabinet - island - butcher block great way to increase” “the built in look of this rolling cart” “I like the white and black. I like the small island.” “Islands on casters are common, but this little stroke of genius goes one better: It slips beneath the countertop when it's not needed. In a small kitchen, such flexibility makes all the difference in function.”

Wine storage. Great for a kitchen or "casual space" wall. Make a wine storage statement. Take a cue from the creative book Living in a Nutshell, by Janet Lee, and install floating shelving in a zigzag shape to hold your favorite bottles of wine. Painting the wall behind the shelving is a nice touch — guests won't be able to resist perusing your collection.

LED under cabinet lighting & power strip cord. Power. You've spent time and money selecting and installing the perfect backsplash tile, so don't mar the beautiful surface with outlets. An undercabinet outlet strip gives you a plethora of plugs — and always one right where you need it — without a line of receptacles all across your lovely backsplash. If, however, you tend to keep your countertop appliances plugged in, you may not enjoy seeing the cords dangle down from underneath your cabinets.

Kitchen with integrated office space. Every family kitchen should be equipped with a mini office. At least it might feel that way to a parent getting bombarded with requests for signed permission slips and help with homework in the middle of fixing dinner. It can be as simple as a drawer organizing system that holds everything from a stash of writing utensils and paper clips to the checkbook for those "I forgot I'm supposed to bring money" moments. If you can afford more space, a sweet setup like this one keeps household affairs in check and gets closed off behind cabinet doors when not in use.

Integrated appliances. To integrate the appliances or not? Integrated appliances significantly increase the cost of a kitchen, not only because of the added cabinetry door fronts, but also because the appliances needed to facilitate this option are more expensive. While this feature may look attractive to some home buyers, especially in a price range where integrated appliances are an expectation rather than an exception, your may not see the return on this high-priced detail in a midrange-price house.

Pull-out desk drawer. This subtle home office looks more like a built-in bureau than a desk area. But when it's time to pay the monthly bills, the false front drawer reveals an entire working surface.

Roll-out desk or eat-in table? Rollout desktop. A rollout desk like this is a great way to provide you more workspace when you need it — and less when you don't. This traditional built-in desk has plenty of knee room for the everyday user, but the far cabinet pulls out as an extra countertop for larger projects — or even office space for two.

Water Filtration/Purifier. Carbon filter: Activated carbon is found in pour-through water filtration pitchers and in many undersink filtration systems. Carbon filters work by trapping contaminants in the pores of the positively charged, highly absorbent filter. Reverse osmosis: A reverse osmosis system reverses the natural flow of water, passing the water through a semipermeable membrane. Be aware that this method does waste water. Distillation: Distillers heat water to the boiling point, then collect the steam as it condenses, leaving contaminants behind. Some contaminants that can convert to gas form will still remain in the water after distillation — you can combine a distiller with a carbon filter for better results.

you'll need to decide if it's 36 or 42 inches high. A 42-inch-high bar stool and bar tend to have a bit more flexibility — the island can be designed in two levels, with the working side set lower for prep work and the dining side higher to accommodate bar stools. The step in between is a handy place for electrical outlets, too.
