Space Step

Whether you suffer from #shortpeople problems or you just want to maximize storage and have a built in step solution, this product is a game changer when designing a new kitchen.

The max weight listed is 330 pounds. I stood on it with the man in the photo after filming this video you saw on Instagram or TikTok. I have to think we were close to the limit.

The toekick ends up being an inch or two taller than the average 4” toekick, but you get a lot of storage and the built in step is a game changer. You can even make it extra tall, up to about 9”. Because of the minimum height requirement, this isn’t a retrofit for most kitchens.

You can also install it so it is flush to the face of the cabinet above.

It isn’t just for kitchens, this could go in laundry rooms, walk in closets, even custom vanities.

The people who love this dishwasher, REALLY love it. You can do separate loads, run a half load. It holds more than it seems, is very quiet, and looks good to boot.

Drawer dishwashers come in single or double drawers, and they have a panel-ready model to match cabinets.

I was skeptical at first, but this glass rinser could come in handy in a number of ways - baby bottles, delicate champagne glasses, beer glasses, anything that needs a hand wash and is narrow. An easy upgrade to any kitchen, it comes in a variety of colors to match your fixtures.

Invisible cooktop

Absolute seamless mess or guaranteed confusion? Invisible cooktops are a rare thing, using induction technology makes it safe enough to consider. Invisacook is one brand I’ve found.

Compatible cookware: stainless steel, stainless steel with a magnetic bottom, proprietary pans

Incompatible cookware: copper, cast iron, glass, aluminum. In other words, you’ll likely need a dedicated new cookware set.

Price: Expect a 4 burner setup to start at $2,400.

Where to buy: You’ll have to go through a dealer, and it would make sense for your builder or cabinet maker to work on it and order directly. Here is the invisacook website
