Thinking About
Appliances (continued)
One way to supplement the content served up by
commercial publications and websites is to look at
industry research. For instance, sales data from the
Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers
(AHAM) is a good reflection of homeowners’ priorities.
According to the most recent data, the top priorities
for buyers include time, convenience and status. Let’s
look at a few examples.
Time: Today’s consumers can’t get enough of time-sav-
ing appliances. For instance, they have been flocking
to induction cooktops, whose market share doubled
in the six years from 2010 to 2016, jumping from 8% to
16%. AHAM credits that gain to shorter cooking times
and more precise temperature control.
Convenience: Sales trends show that, besides wanting
to save time, people also want appliances that require
less effort to use. With that in mind, it’s no surprise
that the yearly number of refrigerators sold with
bottom-mount freezers doubled from 2009 to 2015.
The fridge gets opened a lot more than the freezer and
most of us don’t want to bend over whenever we’re

looking for a container of milk.
Status: The clearest sign of this priority is the growth of stainless steel appliances. About half of dishwashers and
three-quarters (76%) of bottom-mount refrigerators shipped in 2015 had stainless steel finishes. Five years before,
the percentage for refrigerators was just 44%. This has nothing to do with durability, as today’s factory-applied color
finishes are durable, attractive and able to stand up to anything a home cook can dish out. But stainless steel has
become a status symbol, and as such it appeals to the highest number of future buyers.
By the way, some homeowners don’t understand that
not all stainless is the same--hues can be warmer or
cooler depending on the nickel content. That makes it
smart to take a sample of the cabinet or wall color to
the appliance showroom to see which stainless makes
the best match.
The most effective way to sort through all the available
choices and make the right ones is to work with the
remodeler’s team--usually the interior decorator and
kitchen designer. It’s also wise to start this process as
early as possible, as homeowners who can take their
time in selecting appliances will likely make better
decisions. It’s important to make the final selections
before the cabinets are ordered so the kitchen design-
er can make sure everything fits together correctly.

No Dining Room?
No Problem.
Studio apartments or homes with an open concept design often have one thing in
common: no designated dining room.

Make A Statement With A Touch Of Paint
Racking your brain for ways to freshen up a room? Painting is a quick and inexpensive way
to update every room.
» Brighten up your kitchen design by painting a small breakfast nook or back wall a
bright, vibrant color. Pick a color that speaks to you and go bold!
» Make an impact with blue, red or yellow on a kitchen island. Daring island colors
pair best with other neutral colors, so leave the cabinets alone.
» Easily paint the area behind open cabinets or floating shelves to make it really stand
out. Choose a color that complements the other accents in the room. Showcase
your decor in front of it to make all your items pop against the bold color.
