The Brothers Recommend “Appliance Garages”
They Open Up Counter Space
Drew and Jonathan are creating custom kitchen cabinetry that features plenty of space for small appliances. To see an example of the type of work they’re doing, check out the “appliance garage” byStudio Dearborn, as shown above on Instagram.

Some cabinets are too small for these sometimes-bulky appliances, so adding spaces big enough to hold them can free up tons of clutter on countertops, making kitchens more attractive and functional spaces.
While talking about this design trick onCelebrity IOUseason 10, Drew and Jonathan talked about freeing up countertop space, feeling that doing this in a kitchen should be a top priority for homeowners. They said:
“Nothing is worse than seeing a counter that is full of—in fact, you’re able to’t even see the countertop because there’s so many appliances on it.”
While the kitchen garages may appear to be regular cabinets at a glance, they’re big and high enough to hold larger things than some cabinets can. They’re roomy enough for an array of items, from blenders to crockpots and beyond.
Homeowners who are tired of having minimal countertop space, and want to make changes, can add appliance garages, rather than trying quick fixes that interrupt the flow of space, such as putting in portable or permanent kitchen islands.
They may already have big enough cabinets to fit a cluster of appliances. Simply storing them there, so they can be used when needed, can make a big difference.
The idea that appliances need to be at a person’s fingertips is a bit outdated. Many people don’t use bigger kitchen appliances like Kitchen-Aid mixers daily, so they could benefit from storing them instead of having them on display. Yes, those mixers are status symbols in a sense, but they take up so much space, and really, it may not be worth showing them off all the time.
