The right appliances have a huge effect on your quality of life. If you’ve ever lived in a home with broken, poorly-designed, or just rundown appliances, and then upgraded, you know what I mean. You go from annoyed every time you grab a beverage from your refrigerator, to really looking forward to opening the door. Since your fridge gets get used many times a day, those interactions really add up.

Key Takeaways:

• The type of refrigerator that you use can make or break the look of your kitchen
• The finish and design of your counter tops are important enough to focus on when it comes to designing a kitchen
• The use of light fixtures and different accessories and spruce up a boring kitchen design.

“The height and width are obvious, but don’t forget the depth. Refrigerators are generally 30 to 35 inches deep (including the doors), but counter-depth and cabinet-depth models, at 23 to 27 inches deep, offer a more built-in look, and are an especially good option for smaller kitchens.”
