01KITCHEN REMODELING
Appliances are often chosen last, but they should be chosen first. Their sizes set cabinet dimensions, and their power, water and ventilation needs set what the electrician and plumber install behind the walls.

Freestanding appliances are cheaper and easier to replace but break the line of the cabinets. Many kitchens mix the two — an integrated dishwasher and fridge with a freestanding range cooker as a feature.
An induction hob and an electric oven each need dedicated circuits, and several large appliances together may exceed what an older home's circuit or supply was designed for. Fridges with ice makers need a water supply, dishwashers need a waste connection, and extractors need a duct route to the outside if they are to work properly. All of this belongs to first fix.
Many Dubai apartments are electric-only, making induction the default. In villas with gas, some households keep a gas hob for wok cooking. Induction is faster and cooler in a hot climate, which matters in an open-plan kitchen where the air conditioning is working hard.
