Need help deciding which Kitchenaid mixer color!

13 years ago
I'm looking at the Artisan model. There's so many colors, but I think I've narrowed it down to these 3. I included a picture of my kitchen. Any suggestions?
Blue Willow
Liquid Graphite
Metallic Chrome
another color

    Don't go with the cobalt blue. I did. It looks black and regret it.

    I have one in liquid graphite and i Love it. Looks fantastic and can take with me wherever I go!!

    I would use a different colour. Perhaps cherry red.

    I voted metallic, but graphite would blend in (no pun intended) nicely too. If you want to go for a funky colour: the apple green one. Good idea to do a poll here, we've been considering buying one too and can't choose a colour. So... perhaps somewhere in the near future I'm going to follow your example :-)

    Thanks for the votes and comments! @carolins I'll look out for your poll. =) There are so many colors its hard to choose. I was also wondering if a funkier color would work, but was leaning toward of playing it safe. The funky color could look nice though. Especially if I could get a tea kettle or other accessory that's also in the funky color. Or I guess in the case of apple green, some green apples.

    Do you want punches of color in the room or are you more of a neutrals person? If you are more into neutrals, go that way on the mixer. If you want a touch of color without having the color be too front and center, mix it up a bit. You can add some glass or decorative pieces in your glass fronted cabinets, in a kettle, in fresh flowers...

    Not yet, but hopefully this weekend. I sense some extra lbs in my future.

    David, the mixer is perfect and your kitchen is even more so ;-) Any chance of you sharing more details on any of your idea books? Maybe one big ideabook with the details you have? It would keep ya busy while the cake is in the oven!

    hi onthefence, thanks! Yes, I would love to share more details. I have been planning on taking some more pictures of the whole kitchen and putting them on houzz, complete with tags of the products/materials we used. I keep telling myself I'd take some nice pictures after cleaning up the kitchen, but ever since we finished the remodel we've just been enjoying using it. I'll update this thread once I get the details on Houzz. I'll see if I can make some progress this weekend.

    Excellent David. I'm really looking forward to it!

    Enjoy the baking ;-)

    Your kitchen looks great! I just voted, but it looks like your design dilemma is already solved.

    My daughter and I are having the same discussion. She wants me to go with an apple green for "punch". Being an artist, I listen to her.

    Have you thought of painting or papering the backs of the cabinets?

    Dear Houzz, Why do these old posts keep popping up?
