Whether you're designing your dream house with custom home builders or just remodeling, the kitchen will be an important hub where friends and family gather. Many families invest extra in their kitchen appliances to keep up with their household's demands and make the room more comfortable. Here are some of the best places to splurge when you're choosing new kitchen appliances for your home.

Top 3 Appliances to Consider Adding to Your Kitchen

1. Farmhouse Sinks

A recent trend in remodels and new home construction plans, farmhouse sinks are deep, wide, and made of attractive materials like ceramic. They typically have an “apron front,” which displays the sink’s materials above the cabinetry, and it creates a unique statement compared to traditional drop-in stainless steel sinks. Farmhouse sink fronts can be patterned with wainscoting, lattice, and other interesting patterns, which perfectly complement a gourmet kitchen. 

2. Convection Ovens

Custom home builders rarely install electric ranges and ovens when gas is a possibility, and a convection oven is a step above gas. Offering the most even possible heating via constantly circulating heated air, convection ovens work quicker and more accurately than traditional gas ovens. Since convection ovens are not ideal for baked goods, however, many luxury home builders will install one stacked or side-by-side with a regular oven, so homeowners can cook every meal perfectly. 

3. Range Hoods

The perfect range hood can complete the kitchen with a custom home. A stainless range hood works well, but a high-performing hood can be adapted or covered to match the kitchen’s custom cabinetry, so it makes a beautiful artistic statement or simply blends in perfectly with the rest of the room. Range goods don’t have to be an unattractive necessity; they can be a gorgeous accent to the kitchen that draws the eye up and displays luxury wood or tile work.
