If you had to remodel just one room to give your home the wow factor, it should be the kitchen. You’re better off putting most of your budget into a modern kitchen design with luxury appliances if you want to win over buyers. If you’re not selling your home, a new kitchen design will always enhance your lifestyle for years to come. If budget allows, it’s always worth investing in quality kitchen appliances for your newly redesigned space as they will take your kitchen style and functionality to the next level. If you’re not sure about whether they’re worth the extra money, then read on to see whether high-end kitchen appliances will fit your lifestyle and kitchen design.

1. Looking Sharp

How often do you cook at home and do you like entertaining? If you spend a lot of time preparing food, then luxury appliances really do make your life easier. In addition to this, you can choose handles, trims and other features to personalize your appliance and make it a focal point of the room. So, not only do high-end appliances work hard for you, they express your unique style and set the tone of your kitchen design, and your entire home.                                                                                                                                   

2. Standing Strong

These days, few appliances have a life expectancy of over 12 years. However, if you invest wisely, your frequently used appliances last longer and break less frequently. An AGA stove, for example, has a timeless style and could go for up to 50 years, creating a kitchen design focal point. Luxury appliances have better quality and more robust parts and materials, which means you can rest easy in the knowledge that you won’t have to replace them for years.

3. The Pay-Off

There’s no doubt that you get what you pay for. While regular appliances cook, clean and cool just fine, high-end appliances go the extra mile. Luxury stoves and refrigerators maintain temperatures more evenly and regulate them perfectly. Good insulating, automatic timers and temperature probes sound like fancy extras, but they reduce the time you spend cooking, leaving you free to do other things. A luxury appliance looks after everything, so you don’t have to.

4. Be Smart

Smart kitchens are for everyone, not just the pages of a high-tech magazine. Incorporating the latest technology into your kitchen design results in upgrading your home and lifestyle. Food preparation can be done with ease and style by investing in an appliance like an induction cooktop. They use magnetic currents instead of electricity or gas and are faster, more accurate and cleaner, also saving you money in the long run. Steam ovens cook better and faster, offering positive financial and health benefits. When you’ve prepared the food, keep it in a warming drawer until you’re ready to serve, while your smart fridge restocks everything you need. The future really is at your fingertips in the modern kitchen design.

5. Think Outside the Box

You need to invest in a decent refrigerator, stove and dishwasher as these appliances are the foundation of every kitchen design.  If your budget allows, go one step further with your luxury appliances. Built-in microwaves, wine coolers, mini fridges and integrated coffee machines are all becoming necessities in busy, high-end kitchen remodels. If your budget is more limited, choose the items you will use the most.  If you like coffee, why not get the best built-in coffee machine you can afford instead of spending money on a warming drawer?

Appliances are a major part of kitchen design and the more expensive you go, the more your appliances will enhance the style and functionality of your home. Think about how you live and what would serve you best, to avoid getting caught up in false economy. A kitchen remodel to sell is always enhanced by touches of luxury, so your house will be snapped up by eager buyers. At the same time, you don’t want to go overboard with luxury appliances if you don’t plan to be around to use them. If you plan to stay in your home, then invest in the best appliances you can afford within your budget.
