Cool Kitchen Design Ideas for Added Comfort and Convenience

Today’s kitchens are more functional and elegant than ever, with smart storage solutions and innovative appliances and accessories that offer greater convenience, luxury, and style.
So if you’re thinking of giving the hub of your home a little or even a major facelift, check out these 6 state-of-the-art “must haves” that are sure to spark your own creativity.

1. Radiant floor heating. Considered by many to be the ideal home heating system, radiant floor heating serves up warmth from below, evenly heating everyone in the room. And, unlike forced air heat, it does not send dust and allergens through the air. Best of all, radiant heating can be added to a single room, like your kitchen, without having to redo or replace your existing heat source.

2. Hidden drawers. Add a dishwasher drawer to wash smaller loads, a refrigerator drawer for ready and convenient access to healthy snacks and beverages, or a warming drawer to keep food warm while freeing up counter and oven space. Plus, each hidden drawer can be custom paneled to blend in seamlessly with your cabinets.

3. Discreet appliances. While the notion of a panel covered refrigerator isn’t new, this stylish add-on has expanded to other hard working appliances, including the dishwasher. Want a cooktop in your island but don’t want a large vent hood hanging overhead? A hidden vent hood is a sleek, discreet solution. Now you can let your personal style outshine your appliances.

4. Touchless or one-touch faucet. When you’re up to your elbows in pasta sauce, there’s no need to perform acrobatics to turn the water on.
   With these thoroughly modern faucets, just a touch of the elbow or the wave of a hand turns the water on while keeping the faucet clean.

5. Pot filler faucet. Once you have one, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Because all of a sudden, you’ll never have to carry a large, heavy pot of water from sink to cooktop again.

6. Instant hot water dispenser. Installed into your existing kitchen sink and working off the same water line, an instant hot water dispenser delivers piping hot water for your tea, oatmeal, or hot chocolate.
