Kitchen Appliances Guide: Types, Features and Finishes

Ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers and hoods compared, with gas versus induction and finish choices.

Appliances shape both the budget and the layout of a kitchen. A freestanding range is simple and affordable. A cooktop with wall ovens gives flexibility and ergonomic height. Refrigerators range from standard to counter-depth to fully integrated. Dishwashers differ in noise, capacity and rack design. Gas, electric and induction cooking each have devoted fans. In Nashville, where cooks of every kind live and entertain, there is no single right set.

Think about how you cook and what you need to fit. Gas offers visual control, induction offers speed and efficiency with a cool surface and radiant electric is simple. Finishes include stainless, black stainless, panel-ready and colored enamel. Ventilation must match the range. Dimensions matter enormously, so we get exact specs before cabinets are built, and we plan power, gas and water at the same time so everything arrives ready for installation.
