Ovens, dishwashers and washing machines – manufacturers may try and make them look as ‘attractive’ as possible, but dials, drawers, displays, windows and all that essential operational ugliness detract from a kitchen’s design almost as badly as leaving an unattended toddler in there with a fresh box of permanent markers.
