With the abundance of delicious native foods, the kitchen is one of the most used spaces in every Hawaiian home. From fresh fish to poke bowls, the cuisine is as much a part of the culture as the relaxed and optimistic outlook on life is, so it's important your kitchen is designed to meet your family's needs.

The household appliance specialists at Pacific Appliance Group believe your kitchen should be both useful and aesthetically pleasing. To help you accomplish this, these Oahu-based designers and contractors have outlined the three most popular kitchen appliance trends their Hawaiian customers are loving.

3 Kitchen Appliance Trends You Need to Check Out Today

1. Functionality Meets Design

The household appliances of the 20th century never quite established a balance between usefulness and aesthetic appeal. Luckily, manufacturers are now offering kitchen appliances that provide the perfect combination of both functionality and design. With clean, smooth edges and convenient designs, your kitchen will now work for you instead of the other way around.

2. Smart Appliances

Technology is invading kitchens, and smart appliances are one of the top kitchen appliance trends this season. Fusing technology with units like refrigerators and ovens help homeowners have better control when preparing and cooking food. The appliances are also designed with efficiency in mind, so you can expect reduced energy bills.  

3. Brushed Finishes

While metal finishes have been a popular choice in years past, brushed finishes are starting to come onto the scene. These smooth, matte appliances don't show fingerprints as easily, which makes for an easier cleanup, and they also pair well with distressed cabinets, marble countertops and hardwood floors.
