When designing your dream kitchen, appliances are just as important as cabinetry and countertops. The right features add efficiency, beauty, and long-term value. At Wildwood Cabinets, Inc., we specialize in creating custom cabinetry that integrates seamlessly with today’s must-have appliances. 

Here are 5 appliance features every new kitchen should include:

1. Built-In Refrigeration with Custom Panels 

A panel-ready refrigerator blends seamlessly with your cabinetry, giving your kitchen a clean, high-end look. With custom cabinets, we design tailored panels that integrate your appliances so they truly disappear into the design—perfect for a modern kitchen in Knoxville. Insist on a the designer series from Wolf Subzero or the freedom collection from Thermador.

2. Induction Cooktop 

Induction cooking is faster, safer, and more energy-efficient than traditional gas or electric. Plus, its sleek design pairs beautifully with quartz countertops and fully custom cabinets, creating a smooth, contemporary feel. 

3. Steam + Convection Oven 

Why settle for one mode of cooking when you can have both? A steam-convection oven gives you the flexibility to bake, roast, or steam with professional-level results. Instead of stacking, these units can be also be side by side. It’s healthier, faster, and perfect for the modern home chef.

4. Drawer-Style Dishwasher 

Traditional dishwashers do the job, but drawer dishwashers add convenience. They’re easier to load, let you run smaller loads, and can be hidden behind custom cabinet panels—making them both functional and beautiful.

5. High-Performance Ventilation 

A stunning kitchen deserves air that’s just as fresh. A quiet, powerful ventilation system—whether a hidden insert or a bold statement hood—not only protects your cabinetry finishes but also enhances the overall design.
