Appliance garages are back and better than ever for 2024! As the name suggests, this incoming kitchen trend is essentially a designated storage space for your appliances. Think of a cabinet specially crafted to house your microwave, or a storage spot for your blender. When done well, appliance garages can blend in seamlessly with your cabinetry, effectively hiding clunky kitchen contraptions from view. Overall, you’ll have a sleeker and more unified kitchen.
But, where to start when it comes to hiding those appliances in plain sight? Here are some brilliant ideas for styling an appliance garage in your kitchen that will inspire you to get creative with your storage solutions ASAP.
1. Long Vertical Cabinets
Transform your long cabinetry into a vertical appliance garage that houses your microwave up top and regularly used appliances like a coffee maker or toaster on the bottom. This way, all your gadgets will be together in one place. You can also utilize neighboring storage cabinets or shelves to hold kitchen items that would typically be used with these appliances like coffee beans, sugar, and bread. (Just make sure that there’s an electrical outlet installed at the back of the cabinet to hide any plugs.)
