The luxury refrigerator is high-performance and aesthetically pleasing

Luxury kitchens, attention to materials and performance

When furnishing a kitchen with a luxury style, attention is paid to every detail, starting with the materials, which must be of the highest quality, with fine finishes and design, produced by prestigious companies, in which made in Italy plays a prominent role: all details have their importance.

Household appliances are also not only high-performance and energy-efficient but also designed to be an extra touch in terms of design, adding valuable functionality and aesthetic beauty. This is the case, for example, with a luxury refrigerator.

The luxury refrigerator combines optimal food preservation and elegant design

The refrigerator is considered to be one of the focal points of the kitchen. It is no coincidence that when one thinks of the organisation of the room one speaks of the magic triangle between it, the sink and the hob, the indispensable elements between which a person must be able to move while safeguarding ergonomics.

But as well as being an important aid in food preservation, essential for ensuring freshness, it can also be an element of refined design and elegant detail.

For almost a hundred years, the refrigerator has been a focal point of kitchens

While ways of keeping food cold have been sought and found since antiquity, it was not until the 1920s and 1930s when the refrigerator became a household staple.

In America, for example, it is considered very important in a kitchen, so much so that models that are larger than their European counterparts are widespread: there are the side-by-side, where the refrigerating area is placed next to the freezer, the French door, organised as we know them, or multidoor. But what features does a luxury refrigerator have?

Customised storage per food and for longer, the merits of the luxury refrigerator

First of all, it is highly energy-efficient, eco-friendly and does not just store and cool food but has additional features. For example, it has customised temperature zones, each suitable for different types of food that need different temperatures, from wine to meat to fresh products such as dairy products.

Thanks to the use of advanced technologies such as vacuum or ionisation, the luxury refrigerator is able to prolong the life of food over time, thus allowing food that has already been cooked to stay good for several days. These are all functions that make life easier for the cook, for example by allowing more food to be cooked at once and preserved: they fit into professional kitchens, which tend to simplify and improve cooking possibilities.

Luxury fridges integrate into home automation and are controlled (also) via apps

If possible, precisely to follow this philosophy, a luxury refrigerator is large in size, but a small appliance can also be considered luxury in terms of technology and design. Most of the time, it can be controlled smartly (also) via app and remotely, integrated in home automation, and has internal checking systems that signal any problems, a further guarantee of food quality.

Materials and finish of a luxury refrigerator

In terms of appearance, they use fine materials such as stainless steel, which is very popular in kitchens that want to be professional, aluminium or others that can give special looks such as glass or copper. The lines are elegant, chosen according to the interior design of the kitchen: minimalist and clean if they are part of a modern and essential environment, more articulate, elaborate and with rounder lines if they are part of a classic ensemble.

If a retro effect is also sought in the lines, the luxury refrigerator must have the best technological innovations, in the pursuit of a balance that makes it of the highest quality. It becomes an element that is not only functional but also beautiful. The finishing touches are careful and not only practical, sometimes opting for customisable panelling or panels. The effect can be glossy or matt, depending on what you have chosen for your kitchen, while if you want to give it a classic look, the panels can be made of wood.
