What color kitchen appliances should I get?

RE: What color kitchen appliances should I get? Post By Leah (Guest Post) (03/31/2008) NO white. Actually, if you don't like the stainless look, they are now making a bronze kind of look that is Fabulous!!! It goes well with white cabinets and black accents, and it VERY in.

With your neutral color scheme you can use any vibrant or soft color and even change colors with seasons as you wish. Look to the adjoining rooms to see what colors are used in them for your accent color in the kitchen for the first time around. If you are the person with the oak cupboards, I suggest you stain (or paint) them a different shade. I saw a tv show over the weekend where the designer said oak is out of style.. which is a shame because it is a better quality wood. I wouldnt replace the cupboards since yours should last a lifetime, but the designer I saw stained the ones she was working with a different shade. Also, she tried to disguise the oak wood grain with her paintbrush. You can search for this tv show by going to HGTV.com. I believe it was Designed to Sell. good luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: What color kitchen appliances should I get?

Black is easy to overdo and if for some reason you want to sell the appliances later white is a lot easier to sell. Black tends to show smudges and stainless steel from everything I've heard is really high maintenance. And I'm like you, I don't like steel. I think they make a home kitchen look too institutionalized. Report Spam or Abuse RE: What color kitchen appliances should I get? Post By Linda (Guest Post) (03/22/2008) Having been married a long time and having had to replace appliances a few times in those years, I can tell you to stick with white. I've had almond, and those are even hard to match one to another. And those great colors they have now for washers and dryers are neat, but I can guarantee you that one or the other will die and then you'll never be able to match them. The other problem is that colors date your appliances -- remember harvest gold and olive green in the 60's anyone? Unless money is no object and you can replace appliances on whim because they are dated, stick with basics like white, black or stainless. They are timeless.

Black is great as an accent color, but unless you plan to go "Ultra Modern" I'd not buy black appliances. They're a bit dated & you may tire of them. Since you want to incorporate black into your decorating scheme, the trick is to SPREAD it around the kitchen in 4 or more places. For example, across from the black table, you could hang several pictures with black frames, a vase or planter of black in another area, maybe a set of black canisters or a utensil holder in black? Just spread the black around. Now, if you DO want an ultra modern look, black would be okay, but instead, I'd go with stainless, as that add resale to your home & goes with everything. But, with a "country table" white would be fine, as long as black is spread evenly throughout the room in the way of smaller accent pieces.

Post by Laurel_admin (299) | (03/20/2008) Contact The kitchen we are updating is the standard oak cabinets with cream/neutral counter tops. The floor is neutral tan ceramic tile. We would like to replace the counter tops and appliances. The kitchen is painted a soft light green and opens to the living room which doesn't have a color yet. Any suggestions on colors for counter tops and appliances? It is just so bland with all the neutral in the kitchen. Kelly from Pittsburgh, PA Answers: RE: What color kitchen appliances should I get? The kitchen table set looks like it's blue or gray. Perhaps appliances could be stainless steel to compliment your table set and paint the walls in a bright cheerful color of blue. Looks like you have plenty of lighting and I'd add a touch of chrome or silver in darker areas like the frame of a clock or picture. Curtains could have a splash of the floor coloring along with the blue to help pull it together if you're planning on keeping the same tile. Also, peach or apricot colors are warm and pleasant and would look nice with the floor and oak cabinets and on counter top. You could stay with white appliances and use some gold or brass highlights in the room. Have you considered a tile mural back splash for a dramatic touch? They vary in sizes and may not cost you very much. (01/22/2008) By Lorelei RE: What color kitchen appliances should I get? Well I re-did my kitchen and bought stainless steel fridge, microwave,glass top stove and dish washer. I will never buy stainless steel appliances again. They scratch very easily and you have to clean them all the time as they show smudges and dirt more so than regular appliances. (01/23/2008) By dean Report Spam or Abuse
