It is a question that many homeowners embarking on a kitchen remodel ask themselves, "Which do I prefer, built-in or integrated kitchen appliances?"
To answer that question, you need to know what aesthetic you are going for in your kitchen, as well as your budget. We are here to help you decide.
The category of built-in appliances can cover a wide range of appliance types and styles. Generally speaking, built-in appliances are designed to have a cohesive look with your cabinetry and are typically flush with your kitchen's cabinets.
When built-in models are installed, they are still noticeable when entering the kitchen, even if they are installed with custom paneling to match your cabinets. Oftentimes, venting handles, or other parts of the appliance are still visible.
Integrated appliances are designed to all but disappear into the cabinetry of a kitchen. Much like built-in appliances, they are flush with the cabinetry. However, integrated appliances are installed with paneling and hardware to match the cabinetry and often have every vent disguised.
Because of the customization that comes along with integrated appliances, they are more costly. However, if you want that utterly seamless look of cabinetry in the kitchen, this is the way to go.
If you are looking for an integrated look in your kitchen, it is easiest to apply this design to dishwashers and built-in refrigerators or freezers. By adding custom paneling and hardware to these appliances, they can easily be completely disguised into a kitchen.
Other appliances like cooktops, wall ovens, or built-in microwaves are more difficult to "integrate" because of their design and functionality. These appliances are often installed alongside other integrated appliances with trim kits and as built-in models to give the entire kitchen a sleek, modern look.
