  • Evolving Fairfield County Kitchen Appliance & Design Trends

    One of the things we have seen at Country Club Homes, Inc. over the years is that kitchen trends continuously evolve. It is a function of style changes, ongoing product development, and lifestyle preference.  While there are some classic popular trends that will stay with us for a long time, many trends gradually become less popular, making way for new products and styles.

    The following are a few new kitchen appliance and design trends that you will enjoy hearing about, from our experts at Country Club Homes, Inc. As a matter of fact, if you have remodeled or built new recently, you may already have them in your kitchen. One of the popular trends is new refrigerators with built-in hinges like the Subzero 700 series. Other trends include:

    • Full Sized Ovens
    • Refrigerator Drawers
    • Steam Ovens
    • Speed Ovens with Microwave Combination

    Steam ovens are popular nowadays as we seek to find cooking methods that help retain the nutritional value in food. Combination ovens can heat food with steam but can also be used as a convection oven.

    These are just a few of the new trends that have passed the tests for practicality, functionality and aesthetics; and proven popular enough to stay in vogue.
