Well-rounded

Whether remodeling an existing kitchen or designing a new one, space is always at a premium. Many elements factor into the total design of the room. Not only must the new kitchen meet culinary needs, it must be appropriate for the home. A balance has to be struck between storage areas, work surfaces and the appliances.

With so many advancements being made on the appliance front, consumers can save time and get the choice right first time by visiting Standards of Excellence Appliances and Decorative Plumbing, says vice president of marketing MaryJo Camp.

"We have the selection and industry know-how to help decide what will work best for your kitchen," she says. "Savvy appliance manufacturers, like KitchenAid, have done part of the hard work for us, studying the work zones necessary in a variety of kitchens and providing the equipment needed to make each zone work for its specified use. For example, dish drawers are convenient partners in the main cleanup area of a kitchen, while the Briva sink, with an in-sink dishwasher, provides a practical addition for an entertainment zone.

"In terms of cooking, if you are combining a cooking and baking area, Kitchen Aid's new professional steam range offers an easily regulated, precision heat source for flavorful, healthy results.

"For larger family kitchens, the Ultima Speed cook oven is an effective addition to a double oven. This halogen-assisted microwave creates easy, delicious meals in minutes. The Ultima offers many functions and is easy to use."

These suggestions are part of the know-how Standards of Excellence Appliances and Decorative Plumbing offers its clients. The company's professional team asks clients questions about kitchen lifestyle and lead them through the selection process. With all major appliances on display in fully detailed vignettes, it is easy to visualize any kitchen space, large or small. The showrooms are complete with fully functioning demonstration kitchens where customers can cook on appliances to determine what works best for them.

"Streamlining the selection for our clients ensures they make the most effective choices without wasting their time and energy," Camp says. "Together with the right countertops and cabinetry, choosing the right appliances plays a pivotal role in achieving a well-balanced, hassle-free work space."
