Buying new appliances is an exciting part of any remodel, but can be anxiety-inducing too. You’re committing to expensive equipment that you hope to love and use for many years to come! Thankfully, you’re in good hands when you shop at Wiens! Our sales staff are always here to help you pick out the perfect appliances for you and your lifestyle. Along with the help of our knowledgeable staff, we hope this guide is a great reminder of things to consider when buying future appliances.
1. Size
Not everyone has the space to install a huge, beautiful kitchen. Thankfully, small spaces can be just as beautiful, and functional as large ones. Many appliance companies create compact versions of their appliances for smaller kitchens, that give you the same look but don't compromise on functionality.
If you do have a larger kitchen, embrace the space with large scale ranges and vent hoods. You always need a focal point in any room, so why not make a gorgeous La Cornue range the star?
2. Design
Don't ignore style and design when it comes to appliances; it's just as important as picking your back splash or countertops! Luxury appliances like Sub-Zero Wolf and Thermador often give you style options, from contemporary to industrial. If luxury isn't in the budget, each mainstream appliance brand has a certain style as well.
Choosing the right colour can also show which style direction you want to go in. If you love a classic look, consider stainless steel; or matte black is great for modern design. If you love a little more colour, consider a La Cornue range! They come in so many different colour variations.
3. Budget
Budget is one of the main factors in any renovation. Keep an eye out for seasonal rebates and sales on our website!
4. Lifestyle
Before you start shopping, take into consideration what type of lifestyle you have. Does your growing family needs a little more cooking space or room for groceries? Consider a large refrigerator or dishwasher! If you love to entertain, consider a double drawer dishwasher for quick loads in between courses or a double-oven for extra cooking space.
5. Preferences
Consider your priorities as you plan your dream kitchen. That Wolf range you always wanted? Now's the time! Need a wine fridge? Time to incorporate that into your design!
