It’s that time again to reflect on some of our favorites in the latest and greatest kitchen design features and appliances for you to include in your next remodel. At Bray & Scarff, we believe the perfect kitchen radiates both form and function. It should beautifully reflect your unique personality while simplifying your life. This month’s favorite features do just that!
Frameless Cabinets
If you haven’t heard the term “framed” or “frameless” when it comes to cabinets, it’s referring to how the cabinet is built. Framed cabinets have a 1 ½ inch wide face frame, similar to a flat picture frame, surrounding the cabinet doors, whereas frameless cabinets have no frame and instead only shows the door and drawer faces. Derived from Europe, frameless cabinets offer a more modern, seamless look because the doors and drawers all sit flush with each other, especially with slab doors - an impossible look to create with framed cabinets.

Built-In Refrigerators With Panels
Completing the seamless look are built-in appliances. These integrated appliances are top-of-the-line in personalized and luxury kitchens, starting with the largest appliance - the refrigerator. One of the most sought-after appliances, built-in refrigerators sit completely flush with surrounding cabinets for a streamlined look. These refrigerators also offer the option to be tailored to your kitchen with a custom panel that perfectly matches your cabinets to achieve the highest look of seamless integration.
Connected Appliances
In this day of smartphones and smart TVs, your appliances should also become smart. By connecting to your Wi-Fi, app-enabled connected appliances allow you to control your appliances’ features all from the comfort of your couch or miles away at the supermarket. Pre-heat your oven, receive a notification when your laundry is done, check on laundry detergent supply, schedule hot water for coffee, get an alert you if the oven is left on, and so much more, with just the touch of a button or even voice command when paired to Google Home or Amazon’s Alexa.
Microwave Drawers
Add a stylish look to our kitchen while also saving counter space with a built-in microwave drawer. These microwaves offer more advanced features, easier access, and larger capacity than the average over-the-range or counter microwaves. Installed flush into your existing cabinetry or kitchen island, microwave drawers add a subtly striking streamlined look to any kitchen.
Preprogrammed Recipes In Wall Ovens
Take the guesswork out of cooking with recipes that are preprogrammed directly into your appliance. Enjoy automatic temperatures adjustments for multi-step recipes and even real-life images to compare doneness. These preprogrammed settings are like having a MasterChef right in the kitchen with you. It’s time to no longer be intimidated by the gourmet dishes you’ve been longing to create and instead cook with confidence.
