Bring Your Dream Kitchen To Life
January 28, 2025-5 min read
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!
What Is A Dream Kitchen?
The dream kitchen looks different for everyone, but what they all have in common is how hard they work. The heart of the home should be designed to meet your needs, whatever they may be. Feeding a large family every night? The kitchen should have space to accommodate them all and appliances that are up to the task. For people who work late, a smart, multitasking kitchen may be better suited. Ask yourself how you cook, how often you cook and how your appliances could make your life easier – that’s the dream.
How To Make It Happen
Ready to make the dream a reality? It’s all about your appliances. The five key items are the refrigerator, oven, cooktop, dishwasher and microwave. Create a wish list of the features you’ve been dreaming about, stop making excuses and get shopping. Don’t panic, you don’t have to buy them all at once and there are plenty of ways to make sure you’re getting a great deal.
Firstly, keep an eye out for sales and special offers, especially when it comes to premium brands. The Good Guys is currently celebrating reno season with a RealCa$h offer, which means you can get money back when you purchase eligible products. There’s also a range of finance options available through The Good Guys, so you don’t have to wait a minute longer. It’s time to treat yourself.

Dream Refrigerators
The latest fridges don’t just keep food fresher for longer, they can order the groceries, play music and let you see inside without even opening the door. Whether you’re looking for all the bells and whistles or just a simple upgrade to help trim the energy bills, a new fridge has a big role to play.
The Upgrade
With a 4 star energy rating, adjustable shelves and a chic silver finish, it’s hard to go past the Samsung 427L Bottom Mount Refrigerator.
The Futureproof
Large (or growing) households should look to the Hisense 586L French Door Refrigerator. With a generous capacity, wide shelves and flexible storage (like turning part of the freezer section into extra fridge space), it will serve the family well for years to come.
The Splurge
The Samsung 636L AI Family Hub Refrigerator is the fridge that does it all – the full HD home screen can share recipes, order your groceries and even book you an Uber. The smart fridge also connects to your phone, so you can check what’s in there from the supermarket aisle.
Dream Ovens
The oven is one of the most frequently used and hardest working appliances in the kitchen, and updating your old appliance can completely change the way you cook (for the better) and give you new inspiration.
The Upgrade
The chic and sophisticated design of the Technika 60cm Electric Oven Dark Stainless will update your kitchen, but the oven itself also has some pretty great features. Think steam cleaning, air frying and dough proving settings among 12 other functionalities.
The Futureproof
Upsize to a Westinghouse 60cm Pyrolytic Double Oven to cater for multitasking like grilling and baking at the same time, as well as a pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The Splurge
Make a style statement while taking your home chef skills up to a whole new level with the Smeg Portofino Dual Fuel Upright Cooker – you won’t regret it.
Dream Cooktops
Consider yourself a home chef? Or are you just looking for a quick and easy way to reheat that leftover Pad Thai? The cooktop is an essential element in every dream kitchen and with such a wide variety of styles and sizes, it’s easy to find your perfect fit.
The Upgrade
The Smeg 90cm Induction Cooktop is a sleek and simple upgrade, with five cooking zones, 9 power levels and electronic touch controls.
The Splurge
The Bosch Series 6 90cm Induction Cooktop is an award-winner for a reason. Not only is ventilation built-in, this induction cooktop also has 17 power levels for precise temperature control and a power boost setting to get you cooking quicker.
Dream Dishwashers
No dream kitchen is complete without a dishwasher, and new models have become more water and energy-efficient than ever before. If you haven’t got one, now is the time to invest.
The Upgrade
Get the dishes done in half the time with the Bosch Series 6 Freestanding Dishwasher Stainless Steel.
The Futureproof
With a 4 star energy rating and a 5 star water rating, the LG QuadWash Platinum Steel TrueSteam Dishwasher is a quiet and efficient machine that can even connect to your smartphone.
The Splurge
Dishwashers don’t come much more premium than the Miele AutoDos CleanSteel Built-under Dishwasher, which features an automatic dosing system, Wi-Fi connectivity and MobileStart functionality – oh, and 6 star water rating paired with 4.5 star energy efficiency.
Dream Microwaves
Quick, easy and convenient cooking are just some of the reasons we love the humble microwave. The latest models are also capable of much more than just reheating the leftovers, with grilling, roasting and baking functionalities.
The Upgrade
The Samsung 40L 1000W Stainless Steel Microwave is a simple, easy-to-use machine with 10 different power levels and auto-sensor settings to make life even easier.
The Futureproof
One of the most versatile options on the market, the Breville 32L 1200W the Combi Wave 3 in 1 Convection Oven is a microwave, air fryer and mini oven all in one.
The Splurge
Imagine steam cooking, baking and grilling all from the one appliance – now, you can. The Panasonic 31L 4-in-1 Convection Microwave is a microwave like no other.
