Hidden in plain sight: Hidden appliances for the kitchen

Introduction:

The kitchen, considered the heart of a home, has witnessed remarkable advancements in technology over the years. With the rising demand for sleek and minimalist designs, homeowners and designers alike are turning to hidden appliances to achieve a seamless and clutter-free look. These hidden gems not only enhance the aesthetics of the kitchen but also provide practical solutions for maximising space.

When it comes to kitchen design, functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand. One key element in achieving a seamless and stylish interior is with an extractor. Traditionally, kitchen fans were bulky or visually striking. With Faber’s forefront technology leading to the rise of hidden extractors, they have offered homeowners seeking subtle extraction a solution!

In this blog, I will explore the world of hidden extractors and discover how they can help elevate your kitchen design.

Gone are the days of large and obtrusive range hoods dominating the kitchen space. Ceiling extractors provide an elegant and discreet solution to eliminate cooking odors and promote proper air circulation. Faber’s “High-Light” is flush with the ceiling, seamlessly blending into the kitchen’s overall design. This contemporary hood can be matched to a white ceiling, only visable when switching on its iconic perimeter light. With their sleek appearance and hushed operation, the High-light offers a modern and sophisticated look while efficiently removing smoke and steam.

Downdraft extractors offer a unique, space-saving solution for kitchens with an island. The “Fabula” extractor is concealed within the countertop and rises up from the surface when in use. When not needed, they retract back into the counter, creating a seamless and unobtrusive look. Downdraft extractors are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly efficient in capturing cooking fumes and directing them away from the cooking area.

Hidden inside:

For those who prefer a more traditional setup, integrated extractors provide an excellent option. These hidden appliances are installed into the cabinetry above the cooking area unseen from sight at eye level. Faber’s “In-Light” (little sister to the High-Light) uses whisper-quiet technology whilst hiding in your unit. This extractor blends seamlessly with the surrounding cabinetry, allowing for a cohesive and harmonious kitchen design. Switch on the In-Lights LED to beautifully illuminate the hob below.

Hides away:

Island kitchens are known for their open and spacious layouts, a much-loved option for modern homes. To keep the views feeling open, Faber’s “up&down” island extractors are a great fit. These hoods are attached to the ceiling. When you’re finished cooking, they can whiz back up, away from the island. Allowing you to have two dramatically different looks for your kitchen!
