Hiding Home Appliances with Style
Hiding home appliances is a problem that every homeowner must deal with at some point in their lives. We all want modern conveniences in our properties, but we would prefer it if they weren’t on display all the time. AC units and dishwashers aren’t exactly attractive, are they?
Fortunately, you have some options when it comes to hiding home appliances in stylish ways. You don’t have to leave your yard, kitchen, or utility room “raw.” It is very much a case of out of sight, out of mind.
So what can you do to hide home appliances in stylish ways?
Hide Your Kitchen Appliances In Your Cabinets
The kitchen is ground zero when it comes to appliances and aesthetics. You have to somehow figure out a way to hide the dishwasher and a bunch of other machines while leaving the room feeling practical.
The best way to keep appliances hidden is to place them in cabinets. Mostly, this process is straightforward. Manufacturers make dishwashers with flat front doors, allowing contractors to fix cabinet fascias to them, hiding them in the process.
Create A Stylish Barrier Around Your AC
Air conditioning systems require large, outdoor units to release excess heat into the atmosphere. Mostly, these are big, fan-assisted radiators that chill the coolant and allow the whole thing to work.
While they’re essential for keeping your home fresh, they’re also a bit of an eyesore. Manufacturers try to make them as discreet as possible, but they are purely functional devices, and there’s not much you can do about the way that they look.
Next time you get AC repair, you might also want to install fencing around the unit. You can’t cover them or attach attractive panels, but you can have a utility area you block from view. What’s more, you can use this space for all the other things you might not want to look at, like wheelie bins.
Hide Your Washing Machine And Dryer Behind
Utility rooms are traditionally ugly spaces, but there is no reason why it has to be this way for you. Modern options allow you to radically transform the area into a place you will actually want to wash and iron.
The best solution is to line up all your appliances along a wall and then get building contractors to find sliding doors in front of them, creating a kind of walk-in wardrobe. You can order doors in a variety of styles, including bamboo, to match your existing decor. Keeping all the clutter behind a screen helps to make the room feel more relaxing and complete. Add tiles to the floor and some attractive paint on the walls, and you have the makings of a very attractive room indeed.
Kitchen Island Appliances
Finally, you can install a kitchen island with built-in appliances. Your options here are extensive. Refrigerated drawers, pop-out coffee machines, ice cream makers, and wine chillers are all distinct possibilities.
So, what are you waiting for? Start hiding your appliances stylishly today.
Cheers!
