How to choose the right blender
Stationary blender - it is considered to be better than an immersion blender because it has more power. Pay attention to the material of the bowl. They are made from plastic and glass. These materials have both pros and cons. Glass does not absorb odors over time, but it is very fragile. Plastic ones are more durable, but they wear out quickly.
An immersion blender is more practical; puree soup can be made directly in the pan. Doesn't take up much space. Minor minus: the blender needs to be controlled manually, this is not very convenient if you need to prepare a large amount of food.
You need to consider what the blender will be used for. Professional models cost a lot of money, they are not needed for home use. Quality does not always correspond to cost. Pay attention to simpler models.
There must be a place for a mixer in the kitchen. With it you can very quickly prepare batter and cake cream.
You can also buy a steamer, bread maker, or multicooker - they will help you prepare healthy dishes while saving time and energy.
TV
TV helps you wake up faster in the morning, makes lunch and dinner more interesting, and makes cooking much more fun for the housewife. Do you need a TV in the kitchen? It all depends on the area and habits of the household. If you decide that you need it, then first you need to choose a place. The TV should not take up a lot of space and should be positioned so that it is comfortable to watch.
Recommendations:
If the area does not exceed 9 sq.m. You should give preference to TVs with a diagonal of no more than 20 inches. With an average square footage of 15 sq.m. It is better to give preference to models up to 25 inches. And in a large area you can place a 36-inch TV.
This is all you need for kitchen appliances.

What you need for a kitchen at home
Shelves, cabinets, drawers.
It is impossible to imagine a kitchen without cabinets and shelves. Mountains of dishes would simply be on the floor. It is important to plan the placement of furniture correctly. Since the housewife often cooks, the set should be planned and arranged in a way that is convenient for her. Be sure to take the height into account. If the owner is short in stature, then it is better to abandon the high placement of the modules.
Roll-out drawers are much more convenient than cabinets. The largest drawers should be placed closer to the floor. Often, pans, pots and other bulky items are stored there.
Which materials are better to choose?
The facade material can be made of laminated chipboard, MDF, glass, wood or plastic. Manufacturers combine them in any variation.
The countertop must be durable because you will be cooking on it every day for several years. You need to approach your choice wisely. The most suitable materials for countertops: wood, marble, granite, chipboard.
Filling drawers and cabinets.
Additional sections can be built into the modules. For example: bottle holder, carousel basket, modern dryers.
