Camouflage your Kitchen Appliances

Canyon Creek Cabinet’s “matched’ panels blend appliances and cabinets.

As our homes have evolved into open floor plans with no true boundaries between rooms, the look of the kitchen continues to become more "un-kitchen" like. Beautiful finishes; deeper, richer colors, and fewer wall cabinets are elements of this trend, as is the desire to hide or camouflage appliances.

Canyon Creek offers more standard combinations of door styles, wood species and colors than most other cabinet companies, and their custom options give you unmatched flexibility. 

While stainless steel remains incredibly popular, a wall of reflective metal isn't to everyone's liking. Simply putting "matched" panels on your refrigerator and dishwasher can blend those large appliances into your cabinets.

In this spacious design, a row of appliance garages are used to hide all of the small appliances, canisters, cookbooks and other items that typically clutter a countertop. Deep drawers are becoming popular as another alternative to storing small appliances, pots, pans and even dishes.

We're seeing a lot of requests for bold paint colors on cabinets, such as the deep red above. Often used as an accent to a more traditional wood tone, the strong color sets the tone for the entire space. In this case, both colors are echoed in the adjoining family room to seamlessly blend the two areas.

Another way to dress up the kitchen is to create an island that looks like a piece of furniture. A raised countertop on the "open" side helps to hide clutter, and acts as a visual barrier. The decorative legs and curvy stools echo the look of other pieces in the room, as does the bead board used on the back of the island.
