KITCHEN APPLIANCES
Kitchen appliances are a vitally important part of your kitchen and should be given considerable thought. Our experienced designers will help you narrow down your choices, explain clearly the pros and cons of all makes and models, leaving you feeling confident with your final choice.
APPLIANCES
Appliances are the working engine of your kitchen. They influence how you cook, how you entertain and how efficiently your space performs every day.
When designing bespoke kitchens in Exeter and across Devon, we carefully consider appliance specification alongside cabinetry and layout. From ovens and hobs to refrigeration and extraction, the right choices enhance both performance and visual flow. Below is an overview of the key kitchen appliances we help our clients select and integrate seamlessly into their design.
VERSATILE OVENS FOR YOUR KITCHEN
Single ovens offer refined simplicity and are ideal for streamlined layouts, while double ovens provide the flexibility to host, bake and roast simultaneously without compromise. For those who love theatre in the kitchen, a range cooker creates a striking centrepiece while delivering generous capacity and precise control.
Modern ovens now go far beyond conventional fan cooking. Steam functions help retain flavour, texture and nutrients, ideal for everything from sourdough to delicate fish. Intelligent food recognition programmes can automatically identify dishes, adjusting time and temperature for consistent results. Self-cleaning systems, including pyrolytic technology, reduce maintenance and keep performance at its peak.
Combination microwave ovens and micro combi models add speed and versatility, while integrated eye level installation improves ergonomics and enhances the flow of your kitchen.
START YOUR KITCHEN TRANSFORMATION
Whether you are preparing a midweek supper or hosting a full dining experience at home, the right oven specification ensures your kitchen performs at a professional level, without ever losing its sense of considered design.
If you are considering a new kitchen in Exeter or across Devon, we would be delighted to guide you through the options. Book a design appointment to speak with one of our expert designers, or download our brochure to explore our curated appliance and cabinetry collections in more detail.
MODERN HOBS DELIVER PRECISION
Induction hobs are now the preferred choice in most modern kitchens, offering rapid heat response, precise control and impressive energy efficiency. Zoned and flex zone models allow you to combine cooking areas for larger pans or multiple dishes, giving you greater flexibility when cooking for family or entertaining.
Many contemporary hobs also offer temperature controlled cooking rather than simple power levels. By setting an exact temperature, the hob automatically maintains consistent heat within the pan. Features such as the NEFF Frying Sensor monitor and regulate temperature for you, preventing food from burning or fats from overheating. With pre set temperature ranges typically between 70°C and 220°C, you can sear, fry or simmer with accuracy, without constant manual adjustment.
The result is professional level control, integrated seamlessly into a beautifully considered kitchen design.
KITCHEN EXCELLENCE, TAILORED TO YOU
If you are planning a new kitchen in Exeter or across Devon, our designers can help you choose the right hob technology for the way you cook and live. Book a design appointment to discuss your project in detail, or download our brochure to explore our full appliance and cabinetry collections.
SELECTING THE RIGHT EXTRACTION
Chimney and canopy extractors create a defined feature above the hob, particularly suited to classic or statement kitchens. Ceiling mounted extractors offer a more discreet solution, preserving uninterrupted views across the space and maintaining clean architectural lines.
Downdraft extractors rise smoothly from the worktop only when required, disappearing once cooking is complete. Integrated venting hobs, such as those pioneered by brands like BORA, provide powerful extraction directly within the cooking surface itself, combining performance with a minimalist aesthetic.
When thoughtfully specified, extraction works quietly in the background, supporting both the longevity of your cabinetry and the comfort of your home.

FRIDGE & FREEZER
Refrigeration should feel considered, not imposed. It ought to complement the way you shop, prepare meals, and entertain guests, enhancing your daily routines. At the same time, it should sit seamlessly within your cabinetry, blending beautifully with your kitchen’s overall design aesthetic.
STYLISH COOLING FOR MODERN HOMES
American style fridge freezers offer generous storage, ice and water dispensers, and a strong visual presence suited to larger homes. For a more streamlined aesthetic, full height integrated fridge and freezer columns sit neatly behind cabinetry doors, maintaining uninterrupted lines.
Many models from brands such as Siemens, Miele and NEFF now include features such as Super Cooling, which rapidly lowers the internal temperature when new groceries are added. This helps preserve freshness, protect existing items and maintain consistent performance throughout the fridge.
Cool drawers can be incorporated within base cabinets, placing chilled or frozen storage exactly where you prep and serve. Wine fridges and drinks coolers are increasingly popular for those who love to entertain, keeping bottles perfectly stored and always within reach.
CONNECT WITH OUR EXPERTS
When refrigeration is thoughtfully planned, it becomes a seamless part of the architecture of your kitchen, supporting everyday living without dominating the design. If you would like to explore the right configuration for your home, our designers are always happy to talk through the options.
DISHWASHER
A dishwasher should work quietly and efficiently, without ever distracting from the design. Fully integrated dishwashers sit discreetly behind cabinetry doors, preserving clean lines and a cohesive finish. Slimline models offer flexibility in smaller kitchens or utility spaces where width is limited but performance remains essential.
INTEGRATED DISHWASHER SOLUTIONS
Modern dishwashers from brands such as Bosch, Siemens and Miele feature flexible loading systems, adjustable baskets and intelligent wash programmes, ensuring everything from delicate glassware to heavily used cookware is cleaned thoroughly and efficiently. Careful positioning within the sink and preparation zones maintains a smooth workflow, particularly important in open plan kitchens where movement and visibility matter. The result is a space that feels effortless to use, even after entertaining.
If you are refining the details of your kitchen design, our team can help you consider the most practical positioning and specification for your dishwasher. You are welcome to book a design appointment to discuss your plans, or download our brochure to explore how every element is thoughtfully integrated.
COFFEE MACHINES
Integrated coffee machines bring that ritual into the fabric of your kitchen. Built into tall cabinetry at eye level, they deliver barista quality coffee while keeping worktops clear and uncluttered. From morning espresso to post dinner cappuccino, these appliances combine convenience with performance, aligning beautifully with contemporary bespoke kitchens.
SMART COFFEE MACHINES FOR MODERN LIVING
Models from brands such as Siemens, NEFF and Miele now include intelligent features such as party functions, which reduce the frequency of cleaning prompts during periods of heavier use. This allows the machine to serve multiple coffees while you are hosting, without repeatedly requesting maintenance, so your focus remains on conversation rather than upkeep.
When carefully integrated, a coffee machine becomes part of the architectural rhythm of the room, supporting both everyday rituals and special occasions.
