Distinctive Style at Distinctive Appliances

As the cooler weather sets in, it’s time to gear up for the season of dinner parties. This year’s models of appliances feature next generation technology, with programmable functions for ultimate convenience, letting home chefs spend more time with guests. Appliances with designer styles and pops of colour that get the conversation started are the newest trend in home interiors.

Distinctive Appliances Kitchen Lifestyle Centre located in SOFA (Source of Furniture and Design) at the International Centre is the one-stop-shop for the most advanced in designer kitchen appliances from around the world. A state-of-the-art showroom and culinary playground – the largest of its kind in Canada – Distinctive Appliances is the place to go for seeing your kitchen’s full potential.

We raided their showroom to bring you some inspired ideas for entertaining:

Convertible fridge doubles as a party-hosts best friend

Impress guests with Fhiaba fridges’ sleek design, flanked by floor-to-ceiling wine-coolers. Experience the most customizable line on the market, featuring a versatile bottom freezer that changes modes at the touch of a button: convert it to a Fresco cold zone for additional beverage and hors d’oeuvre storage when entertaining, or expand your fridge space when guests come to stay.

New to the market, Fhiaba recently introduced white aluminum interiors, a more affordable option than standard stainless steel. While most home fridges have a plastic interior which is a porous material, aluminum is better at holding temperature, anti-bacterial, and overall much sturdier.

Don't let a fan drown out your kitchen party

Every home chef has experienced the frustration of trying to entertain guests in the kitchen with a fan roaring in the background. Zephyr's innovative line of high-design range hoods are the quietest on the market. High-definition LED lighting remains cool to the touch and provides elegant ambient light. Best yet, the high-tech features significantly reduce Zephyr’s energy consumption meaning that homeowners can save money each month with the most stylish hood on the market.

Orange is the new stainless. Punchy colours move into appliances this year. 

Bertazonni's rainbow of colourful appliances, add a playful touch to any kitchen. Designed in Italy, Bertazonni’s newest colour is arancio orange, available with four or six gas burner formats. This multifunction oven is guaranteed to add some zesty flavour to home-cooked cuisine.

Favourite desserts bake to perfection at the touch of a button

Left-handed in the kitchen? Surprised by those happenstance occasions you cook dinner just right? Now you can bank up those breakthroughs and convince guests you’re an old pro. Bertazonni’s infallible The Assistant features a ‘save cook setting’ that cleverly remembers the time your soufflé came out and with the touch of a button so you can make it perfect every time.
