Featured kitchen: Matching refrigerators with bottom-mount freezer drawers handle big-time cold-storage needs.

Make it work at home: Having two of every appliance may be convenient, but may not be in your budget. If you want the sleek look of stainless steel, one way to save is to have only one of each appliance. “You don’t really need two dishwashers and refrigerators, but it’s something nice to have,” Caden says. Stainless steel is typically the most expensive finish available, but you’ll find a range of prices based on cooking capabilities; distinguish between options you’d like and those you’d actually use. If you want a cooktop on your countertop instead of a traditional range, Caden suggests you avoid commercial-grade appliances and chose a cooktop that drops in; let your other appliances enjoy the spotlight.
