Kitchen Appliance ColorsKitchen appliance colors act as large color accents in kitchen color schemes.
Which appliance colors appeal to you?
STAINLESS STEEL
Today's super-popular color for a contemporary, industrial look, that mixes well with almost every style. There are higher quality and lower quality stainless finishes. Stainless shows fingerprints*, dents, and scratches, and can be difficult to keep clean. *Frigidaire's Easy Care Stainless finish doesn't.
WHITE
Classic, timeless, never goes out of style. Also often less expensive than other colors. Goes with most kitchen color schemes and styles. Bisque or pale beige colors are still available, if you don't care for bright white.
BLACK
Beautiful, sleek and classy! Black can show fingerprints and scratches and needs to be kept spotless. MIX AND MATCHBlack and stainless blend together well, if you're only replacing some of your appliances. You can mix a stainless steel fridge with a black stove and dishwasher, for instance. HIDDENHide your appliances with wood panels that match your cabinetry for a seamless look. Not all cabinet manufacturers make them, not all appliances take them. This takes careful planning and coordination, but the built-in look is well worth it.
In this photo the fridge is hidden by panels, and the other appliances "show" - an attractive mix and match combination. BRIGHT COLORSTurquoise or baby blue, deep red, schoolbus yellow - appliance color trends are getting livelier!
