As anyone who has even remotely followed European kitchen design knows, appliances are virtually engineered into the most seamless fit within cabinetry to create as seamless a look as humanly possible.
To me, built in appliances are a special type of beauty to behold. It’s sculptural, often a look of architectural permanance in the home and the design just flows. But, it’s certainly not all about appliances being built in…some of the coolest appliances were freestanding or top mounted. Let’s take a look at some appliance awesomeness.

Gas or Electric?
