Choosing the Right Appliances for Your Dream Kitchen

A Practical Kitchen Appliance Buying Guide by Tommie Kelly Euronics

Choosing appliances is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning a new kitchen. They affect not just how your kitchen looks, but how it works every single day.

With so many options on the market—different brands, sizes, features, and finishes—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why getting expert guidance early can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress.

At Tommie Kelly Euroncis, we help you choose kitchen appliances that suit your layout, your lifestyle, and your budget—without the guesswork.

 

Planning a New Kitchen: What to Expect

When people imagine a new kitchen, they often focus on doors, colours, and worktops first. But appliances should be part of the conversation from the very beginning.

Why? Because appliances directly influence:

  • Cabinet sizes and layouts
  • Electrical and plumbing requirements
  • Ventilation and clearances
  • Everyday comfort and usability

Leaving appliance choices too late can limit your options—or worse, lead to costly changes.

 

Kitchen Appliance Planning: Choose Early, Not Last

Appliances: Plan Their Spots Early

Appliances take up more space than most people realise. Fridges, ovens, dishwashers, and hobs all need:

  • Proper clearances
  • Access to power
  • Sometimes water and ventilation

This means their positions must be planned before cabinetry is finalised.

What to Consider at the Layout Stage

  • Choose your main appliances early
    Decide on fridges, ovens, hobs, and dishwashers during the design phase.
  • Avoid door clashes
    Appliance doors should open fully without blocking walkways or hitting other doors.
  • Think about noise levels
    Dishwashers placed near seating or dining areas should be quiet—especially in open-plan kitchens.
  • Allow landing space
    Always leave worktop space beside:

    • The cooker (for hot pans)
    • The fridge (for groceries)
      These small details make daily kitchen use far more practical.

 

Integrated vs Freestanding Appliances: What You Need to Know

Integrated appliances create a clean, seamless look—but they require careful planning.

Important things to check:

  • Not all integrated appliances are standard sizes
  • Some require extra space behind for plugs, pipes, or ventilation
  • Mixing brands can work—but specifications must be checked carefully

This is where professional advice prevents expensive mistakes.

 

Should All Your Kitchen Appliances Match?

Not necessarily.

While matching brands can look cohesive, many homeowners mix brands to get the best performance for each appliance type.

What matters most:

  • Consistent finishes (e.g. stainless steel, black glass)
  • Compatible dimensions
  • Similar control styles and heights

At Tommie Kelly Euroncis, we help you balance design, performance, and value—not just brand names.

 

Choosing Appliances That Fit Your Lifestyle

The best kitchen appliances aren’t always the most expensive—they’re the ones that suit how you live.

Ask yourself:

  • Do you cook every day or occasionally?
  • Do you need large capacity for family life?
  • Is energy efficiency important to you?
  • Do you prefer simple controls or smart technology?

We give honest advice based on real-life use, not sales pressure.
