For the best look in the kitchen you will need to consider integrated appliances, which are now as popular as their freestanding counterparts. Designed to integrate seamlessly into your chosen style, they keep the less attractive appliances hidden away from sight.

So which integrated appliances are available? Fridge freezers and dishwashers are the most common. Integrated dishwashers are now commonplace in UK kitchens, and have been for years. They are available as 60cm fully integrated or 45cm slimline integrated versions.

Integrated refrigeration appliances are also very prominent in the UK market, replacing the old white lump that used to stick out in the corner of the room. There is a number of size options, the best seller being the integrated in-column fridge freezer. Choose from under counter integrated fridge freezers, tall in-column fridge or freezer, eye level integrated fridges and freezers and now there are even Integrated American Style Fridge Freezers.

For laundry there are plenty of options for integrated appliances. Integrated washing machines can be up to 8kg in load capacity now, such is the technology that is on offer. Integrade washer dryers are known for the fact they save a lot of space in the kitchen yet still integrate away from view. These are very popular in new build apartments.

Integrated tumble dryers are available too, but there are not very many on the market. The best ones that have been around a while are the Baumatic and CDA variants. Miele offer some high end models at a price.
