Imagine yourself as a home designer forced to incorporate 12 appliances into a kitchen, including a wood-fired pizza oven, with the expectations of keeping optimum functionality and flow. That’s exactly what Hedy Shashaani, kitchen designer, was able to do for a home in Potomac, MD and the result was phenomenal. Wish lists like here can often be very overwhelming and challenging for some designers, however, Hedy was one of the lucky ones who was able to pull it off with style!
Key Takeaways:
- Extensive appliance wish lists can challenge even the most creative kitchen designer. This is even more evident when the designer is tasked not only with integrating the essentials and a few extra indulgences, but also expected to maintain optimum functionality and flow – without sacrificing aesthetics.
- In this Potomac, MD kitchen, Hedy Shashaani faced the mission head-on by incorporating nearly a dozen appliances, including two Bosch dishwashers; a Wolf range, ventilation hood, warming drawer and microwave; a Sub-Zero wine cooler, and a Miele refrigerator and freezer.
- But the most difficult appliance to integrate was the wood-fired pizza oven, which was a steadfast requirement of the husband who loves to cook for his wife and four children.
“Everything had to be planned so appliances are located in different areas of the kitchen, yet still reachable if several people are in the space at the same time.”
