Some small appliances have all the luck. Instead of getting shoved in the back of a cupboard or left to gather dust on a bottom shelf, these small appliances get the red carpet treatment, with pull-out shelves and hidden cabinets devoted entirely to storing them in style and comfort. Ah, it’s good to be a small appliance — at least if you’re in one of these kitchens!

new appliance garage — namely, just a smart area (usually a designated cabinet) where small appliances can sit neatly and comfortably within reach.
