Creating a custom-looking kitchen is as simple as making a pie

(NC)—Every household is different, with varying lifestyles and needs for space. But almost always, the kitchen is the most action-packed room in the house – especially given the ongoing popularity of the open-concept design. A room that naturally encourages people to gather around, the kitchen is the stage for everything from homework sessions to weekend entertaining. Whatever the activity, creating a kitchen with a custom-made feel is easier than you may think thanks to the wide variety of premium appliance offerings available today.

Avid entertainers know the challenge of enjoying the party while keeping the food coming. Rather than stashing a couple of extra toaster ovens in the pantry, take care of cocktail hors d'oeuvres preparation with a double oven. Simply microwaving a side dish while the roast takes over the oven is a compromise of the past. Two separate oven cavities, one above the other, cook at different temperatures and take up no more space than your standard oven. If you find yourself preparing multiple dishes and struggling to serve them all while they're still hot, a double oven is an option worth considering – and particularly handy if you can't get the kids (or spouse!) to agree on the same meal. The GE Monogram 30” built-in double wall oven, for example, gives the immediate impression of a custom-designed space fit for an upscale home.

Are little hands wreaking havoc on stainless steel surfaces moments after you've polished them to a shine? Fully-integrated appliances with custom panels can be matched with your kitchen cabinetry, eliminating the need for constant wiping of fingerprints and giving the space a seamlessly unified and flowing look. In particular, a paneled fridge that perfectly matches the rest of the kitchen paneling and décor, gives an instant customized, high-end look.

Households with young families are undoubtedly among the busiest. Built-in side by side refrigerators provide more than enough storage space for a week's worth of school snacks, dinner leftovers and all the healthy foods you'd like to have on-hand to keep the bunch happy and full of energy. Adding custom door panels makes for a clean and seamless addition to the already bustling heart of your home.

If a wannabe iron chef lives in your kitchen, odds are the old stove you've got now is being blamed for every dish gone wrong. Just like a carefully-crafted recipe, a chef's dream kitchen is all about the details. With two separate flames under each burner, professional-looking range tops built into the counter provide the ultimate in detailed temperature control. Whether simmering a delicate sauce or using the grill to sear salmon, the cook in your kitchen will delight in the range top that seems custom made to perfect their favourite recipes.
