Dishwasher color with white cabinets & black appliances & ss sink?

11 years ago

Need a new dishwasher. White cabinets, black double wall oven & fridge. Kitchen sink & faucet are stainless. Current dishwasher is white & blends with cabinets so that cabinet 'wall' looks consistent. Should new dishwasher be black to match other appliances, or white to keep that cabinet "wall" consistent? Or stainless to match sink & faucet, which are right next to dishwasher? Thank you for your help!

The "white" dishwasher doesn't truly match the cabinets, so I would say black. I think it would be a great accent in the long stretch of white.

Black...appliances are one thing; cabinets another.

Agree with Nob, especially since you've embraced the black overall, e.g., with lights and chairs...

I like the way the white looks now. Black would really stick out.

We just put a white dishwasher in with white cabinets. Our designer suggest using a cabinet front, which is another option for a perfect white match.

Isn't it possible to go for a totally integrated dw behind a door panel of your cabinets? It would look better with your dark countertop and appliances you can't hide.

1st choice integrated cabinet door panel, 2nd choice stainless steel, 3rd choice white, Black would really stand out in your set up because you have a cooktop not a range. The picture shown above with the black dishwasher panel also has a black range.

This other photo may help give you an idea what the rest of the kitchen looks like with the black appliances. The pendants are being replaced with clear, glass pendants on a brushed nickel cord. An integrated cabinet door isn't an option for us. Thank everyone for all your feedback. It's so helpful!

Try a stainless dishwasher. There is no rule that all appliances must match. Your cabinet hardware looks like brushed nickel which works with stainless. Add other stainless accents like a utensil jar stingless wire fruit basket and other items.
