5 Ways to Hide Kitchen Appliances
Trade professionals often face challenges when it comes to hiding kitchen appliances in a way that combines functionality with the sleek aesthetics in modern kitchen design.
Whether you’re a seasoned kitchen fitter or an innovative interior designer, Häfele experts share 5 tips to hide kitchen appliances. From utilising kitchen cabinets for small appliances to integrated ovens, these tips will help you elevate your project and meet the needs of your clients.
Under Counter Appliances for a Clean Look
Utilising under-counter installations is an effective way to place kitchen appliances out of the way. This method not only saves valuable space but also contributes to a tidy kitchen.
This space is ideal for various appliances that are in frequent use but not necessarily the focus points of the kitchen. For instance, wine coolers can be tucked under counters, providing convenient access while preserving a clean appearance.
For kitchen fitters and designers, the ability to integrate under-counter appliances demonstrates an understanding of modern kitchen design whilst balancing functionality and most importantly how your client will use their kitchen.
Integrating appliances within the existing cabinetry can result in a clean aesthetic. Explore our wide range of cabinet handles to complete the look.
Integrated Fridges for Uncluttered Kitchen Design
When focusing on hiding kitchen appliances, consider the use of integrated fridges. These appliances are designed to seamlessly integrate with kitchen cabinetry, ensuring a smooth and continuous look. By integrating the refrigerator into the surrounding cabinetry, you can create a streamlined look and ensure continuous design of the space.
Whether you are looking for full sized integrated fridges or smaller under-worktop built in models, we have the solution for you.

Cabinets for Small Kitchen Appliances
Dedicated cabinets for small kitchen appliances offer a functional solution. Kitchen cabinets can be utilised to hide the clutter from kitchen worktops.
Small appliances like kettles or blenders can be tucked away in functional cabinets to contribute to a streamlined kitchen design yet remain within arm’s reach.
Integrated Dishwashers: Functional Yet Out the Way
Integrated dishwashers are a smart choice for those seeking to hide large kitchen appliances. These dishwashers can be integrated within the existing cabinetry, maintaining a clean and uninterrupted kitchen design.
For kitchen fitters, integrating dishwashers not only enhances the kitchen’s appearance but demonstrates attention to detail. Learn more about choosing the right dishwasher for your next kitchen project by reading our dishwasher buying guide.
Telescopic Extractor Hoods: A Nearly Hidden Ventilation
Another way to hide somewhat large appliances like an extractor hood is opting for smart solutions like telescopic hoods. These hoods offer a unique combination of functional ventilation and the ability to virtually disappear when not in use. As a kitchen fitter or designer, when focusing on aesthetics of the existing or desired kitchen design, telescopic hoods could be the perfect solution.
