7 Different Design Ideas When Planning Your Kitchen Sink Area

The kitchen sink is a very important functional area in the design of any home. The fact is that there are many different types of sink shapes and the accompanying countertop area on the market today. This article serves to show 7 different designs for the kitchen sink area. One difference regarding the kitchen versus other areas of your home is the way that we use this room. Each one of us cuts up vegetables, cleans dishes, prepares meals, and in general uses the counters in many different ways. I prefer a kitchen sink area where I can keep water in the sink basin and also quickly clean the nearby counter area by pushing debris into the sink. These pictures may give you ideas about which type of sink area may best suit your family's needs.

Kitchen Design Trends - What's Popular Today

In today's modern world, we often find it hard to gather our families around a formal dinner table to discuss the day without various interruptions from technology (i.e. your son's or daughter's addiction to text messaging). We have two choices: fight the information age, or let ourselves be integrated into the high tech universe.

The kitchen now more than ever reflects these changes, and is usually one of the most technologically modern rooms in the home. Our kitchens are more and more becoming the very heart of our homes, where the family meets sometime during the day. What time, or how many times a day depends on the family, but for most it's where the parents cook, kids do homework and/or help with food preparation, pets get fed, lunches are made, and schedules are discussed. Knowing this, most kitchens will seem to be inadequate for all of the activities that take place there. Fortunately for the remodeling and design community, homeowners are recognizing this and are undertaking major remodels of their kitchens to reflect their personal lifestyle.

Some of the newest trends in kitchen design involve the technology wave mentioned above. Appliances are at the forefront of this wave. There are refrigerators by LG and Samsung that have LCD TVs that let you surf the web and keep track of things like knowing when you are low on milk or eggs. There is also an oven by TMIO that can act as a refrigerator until you use the internet or you mobile phone to connect to it and tell it when to turn on. As far-fetched as these appliances may seem, the fact that they exist at all shows a change in what some consumers are asking for in their kitchens.

Siemens AvantGarde Space Saving Coffee Maker

siemens avantgarde built in coffee maker coffee grinder

I personally love two things, coffee and convenience. The AvantGarde built-in coffee maker will integrate perfectly with your kitchen, without taking up a single square inch of counter space. The Siemens AvantGarde coffee maker is a single, self-contained, intelligent unit requiring no plumbing which will allow you to brew, steam and froth like a professional barista. Beans are ground to the perfect consistency and the grounds and filtered water are then swirled in a pressurized chamber, to extract maximum flavor from the coffee. Grind, brew, dispense and clean residual water from the pipes for perfect taste each time, all with the push of a single button. In addition, a fully programmable automatic timer requires you to simply pour the beans in the night before, and you will awake to the wonderful smell of fresh coffee, now that beats an alarm clock!!

Jimmy Buffett Margarita Machine

Jimmy Buffett Margarita Machine

Can their be any better branding than being called a margarita machine from Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville? Have you stepped on a pop-top and blew out your flip-flop? That being said there are lots of blenders and other gadgets on the market. I must say that I was not a believer when I first saw this product. It's not cheap as well, priced at $380. Well I have one of these gadgets so let me tell you more about it.

The first thing is that there is a compartment that holds the ice above the pitcher. In the picture, this is the clear plastic area above the pitcher. The ingredients all go inside the pitcher itself. The dials on the margarita machine are very simple. The settings are for 1 drink, 2 drinks, or 3 drinks. The neat thing about this is that the machine makes the same amount of ice each time based on the selection. Once fired up, the ice is shaved by the motor on the top down into the pitcher. Once enough ice is shaved into the pitcher, the blender itself fires up. It blends the drinks and pauses. Then it blends the drinks a second time. The motor itself is a 550 watt behemoth. It sounds like a large motor when it fires up! This is great since often times blenders don't do a good job of blending ice. Shaving ice requires even more power, so this margarita machine certainly has enough power to get the job done.

The drinks are top notch. I must say that I was very impressed. They are restaurant quality. Now if you think about it, a margarita in a restaurant may cost from $7-$10. So if you make them at home, it would not be long until you came up with the cost of the device. I think a main difference between this and other blenders is the shaving of the ice. I firmly believe this is what makes the texture of the drink restaurant quality. The machine can also make other drinks such as smoothies, sliders, and daiquiris. The margarita machine is attractive itself featured brushed nickel, clear plastic ice container, and a pitcher trimmed in red. It is some what heavy due to its large motor and measures 17 3/4" h x 22" w x 12" d. Available at: Bed Bath & Beyond. Price: $380.
