Steel the Show
Turn down the temperature inside by crafting a new kitchen! There’s no doubt that this room cooks up a lot of heat, but there are a number of ways to keep it cool. Start by making the switch to stainless steel appliances–their metal exteriors make the space look mod and feel even cooler. To drop a few more degrees, keep your kitchen’s design consistent: add brushed silver knobs to the cabinets or swap in a stainless steel countertop. Things may be heating up outside, but with these metal mods your kitchen will be as cool as a cucumber.
Pro Tip: Don’t let the heat deplete you this July. Stay refreshed with a carbonated water dispenser that can be built right into your refrigerator. With just the touch of a button you can take your water from still to sparkling, keeping yourself hydrated and bubbly all summer long.
