PRESERVING NUTRIENTS, HELPING WITH GROCERY LISTS, LOGGING EXPIRY DATES... THE LATEST FRIDGES ARE SUPER SMART
A refrigerator is a purchase you don't need to make very often. If you're working on a kitchen remodel, you might choose to upgrade to a new appliance at that time but otherwise they have surprising longevity. Typically, the technology doesn't go wrong, which means refrigerators can have a shelflife of anywhere between 10 and 20 years.
However, if you are clinging on to a 10-year-old fridge, it might be time for an upgrade. Not only has technology come a long way in a short time, making these appliances much more energy efficient, but you're also missing out on some brilliant new features that can make all the difference in reducing food waste for a truly modern kitchen.

RAISE THE BAR
A custom bar area helps to set the tone and atmosphere when entertaining by allowing guests to congregate in one area and connect with each other. In this project designed by US design studio Alana Marie Interiors, the custom walnut bar also doubles as a privacy screen, helping to zone the space in a practical and elegant way. The slatted panels create beautiful storage nooks for glassware and bar accessories, demonstrating how form and function can be seamlessly integrated.
