Kitchen focal point – American Fridge Freezer?

With Spring drawing ever closer, I find myself thinking about clean and clear spaces. Our kitchen is one of several areas in our home which has been a work in progress for longer than I care to admit. I’ve decided it’s a bit now or never and so we are planning to get it up to scratch before Easter . I’ve been sketching and writing down lots of ideas, and I think I’ve finally worked out what we (I!) really want!

I think every kitchen needsĀ  a focal point, and I’ve been looking at Panasonic American fridge freezers as I think they look really stylish and are practical for our family too! As a family of 5 we need lots of space in our fridge freezer, and as the Panasonic has an A++ energy rating it would be economical to run too, probably more so than our current fridge freezer!

Our current appliances are all either black or silver, and I really like the modern feel they all have so everything new needs to be in keeping with them. The first thing I need to do is have a really good declutter of all the bits we don’t use or don’t need, I keep things just in case, and in reality do I really need to keep that hand blender which has been in the box for the last two years? Our kitchen is well lit, so by changing the wall colour to a grey goose colour, re-tiling with fresh white tiles and ripping out the dated cupboards I think we could easily create a fabulous functional kitchen. I intend to replace the kitchen cupboards with shelving, this might seem crazy as it will expose the contents of our kitchen, but I am hoping it my help cure my hoarding tendencies! At some point I’d love to add a white marble work surface and a bell sink, but at the moment I think that might be stretching the budget a little too far!

So, that’s our plan for our kitchen.. what do you think? Is it too ambitious? How would you recreate your kitchen?
