How long have you been daydreaming about that freestanding cooker, a new french-door fridge or a dishwasher that actually works? In recent years, we’ve spent more time than ever inside our homes and our kitchens have been getting a workout. So it’s time to get that reno started, upgrade your kitchen appliances and turn your dream kitchen into a reality. You deserve it!

We all know kitchen renovations can sometimes be a little, well, challenging. With appliances jostling for their spot amid that all-important bench space, there’s a lot for renovators to consider. So what’s the secret to a stress-free kitchen renovation? Getting your measurements correct from the outset! From minimum clearances to recommended dimensions, there’s an art to planning for appliances including fridges, dishwashers and rangehoods – here are some top tips.

Whether you’re jumping into a full kitchen renovation or upgrading your appliances for a mini kitchen makeover, there’s no doubt you’ve pondered the big questions: What are the best kitchen appliances? And, if I pay more for high-end kitchen appliances, do I really get more in terms of features and functionality? 

As a kitchen appliances expert, I’m constantly asked these questions because people want to buy once, and buy well – particularly when it comes to big-ticket items that will keep their household running smoothly.

So, here’s my top tip. When planning your kitchen reno budget, prioritise your dream kitchen appliances. Put them at the top of your list. And keep in mind that your family’s dream appliance doesn’t necessarily have to be a high-end purchase. You might be pleasantly surprised at the price tag.

If there are features you want (cue the jet-drying dishwasher, double wall oven and custom fridge), work them into the budget at the planning stage. Life is too short for regrets. Plus, if you love these appliances, so will future buyers when and if the time comes to put your home on the market.

Short on space? The good news is, the latest appliances come in all shapes and sizes to suit every kitchen, including the pint-sized ones. In fact, slimline appliances can wield just as much cooking, cleaning and cooling power as their bigger counterparts. It all comes down to choosing the right space-saving kitchen appliances for your needs. Create an area that’s big on looks and functionality with these small kitchen appliances designed for compact kitchens.

So you’re flying the coop and getting ready to settle into your first new home, rental or share house. The perfect new place needs the right kitchen appliances, from big hitters like the fridge-freezer to can’t-live-without small kitchen appliances. We’ve rounded up the latest must-have and lust-have appliances to get your kitchen equipped in style.
