Tip for Kitchen Design Cheshire with Timeless Design appeal is to focus on good quality appliances which will last. Instead of buying gimmick items, go for appliances which are functional, hard-working, reliable, and durable. Your custom kitchen will, if it's well designed, feature special nooks for your fridge, stove, washing machine, dryer etc. It's a good idea to make allowance for this when you are in the planning stages. That's the advantage of custom kitchens - you can allow for all these considerations, as well as your own design aesthetic.
