When it comes to kitchen design, exceptional and unique is the new norm. Homeowners are opting to blend different materials, finishes and colors to create unique and interesting spaces that are compatible with their personal style – one they would be proud to share with friends and family. As a result, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, microwaves and other appliances are becoming as personalizable as they are functional. Builders, architects and designers must now take into consideration that the appliances in a kitchen must offer more than practical use – they must offer exceptional performance and design possibilities.

Thermador offers a multitude of finely crafted appliances that can enhance the style of any kitchen. For homeowners who enjoy entertaining and sharing their food experiences with guests, the new 60” Pro Grand® Range Collection features a bold stainless steel look that’ll compliment transitional and contemporary kitchens. Want a pop of color without too much commitment? Just add the optional blue knob accessory that Thermador offers. This amazing appliance is also personalizable so the homeowners can choose their preferred features on the cooking surface and for the ovens. Designers will find they have more control over both the look and the utility of the focal point of the kitchen space, and can ultimately enhance the unique culinary story of the homeowner.

A powerful cooking appliance needs powerful ventilation to match, and the stainless steel range hoods by Thermador offer efficient functionality in addition to adding an extra element of beauty to the heart of the home. Available for either island or wall applications, they are designed to eliminate smoke, steam, grease and lingering odors within the kitchen space. The stainless steel composition also allows the range hoods to function as a bold decorative statement together with the range. If the homeowner and designer prefer a custom ventilation configuration to hide it or make it stand out even further, Thermador offers inserts to fit custom hoods of any style.

Because every cook needs the finest ingredients in their kitchen without compromising style, Thermador Culinary Preservation Centers offer complete freedom and personalization. Custom door panels will discreetly blend into the surrounding kitchen cabinetry, or can be designed to feature unique materials that’ll make for an exceptional eye-catching statement. For those who like to mix metals and wood, the stainless steel doors are a wonderful solution.

A smart mix of textures and colors can take any kitchen design to the next level, and it’s a wonderful way of empowering the homeowner, or the designer, to tell their own story through their dream kitchen design. Thermador provides a wide array of powerful appliances that allow culinary enthusiasts to be as artistic and creative with their kitchen design as they are when they create culinary masterpieces to dazzle their guests.
