Should You Cover and Hide Your Kitchen Appliances?

Creating a gorgeous kitchen requires a lot of work and some major decisions. Many of the choices you make will greatly affect the look and feel of your kitchen. For example, no matter if you are only replacing the cabinets in your Denver home or you are completing a major kitchen renovation, you must choose if you wish to cover and hide the appliances in this room or leave them exposed and easy to access. 

Exposed Appliances Provide an Industrial Look

Exposed kitchen appliances enhance the industrial trend in the room.

If you choose to leave your kitchen appliances exposed, it is a terrific way to create an industrial feel in the space. As part of this design trend, you can easily see your large appliances and they tend to be a focal point in the kitchen. Additionally, you may consider large hoods as well to take the industrial trend a step further. 

However, if you choose to keep your appliances exposed, strive to make all items match. This creates a more complete look in this area of your Colorado home. 

Covering Your Kitchen Appliances

When covering your kitchen appliances, it creates a more complete and streamlined look in your kitchen. If you are striving for the minimalistic look in your home, this is an excellent way to help you achieve that style. 

There are several solutions for integrating appliances in your kitchen. A few ideas include: 

Integrate with cabinets: Place your appliances behind cabinet doors. For example, install a large cabinet door on the front of your refrigerator so it appears there are many shelves and drawers in its place, rather than a fridge. 

Build a Prep Kitchen: A prep kitchen is a smaller kitchen that is tucked away onto the side of your primary kitchen. This is where you can store all of your appliances so they do not create an eyesore in your main living space.
