Design Dilemma Kitchens

matching appliances

8 years ago

We are updating the kitchen with new appliances and countertops. Will get stainless steel refrigerator,stove, and microwave probably by GE. For the dishwasher we will get Bosch. Will it be really noticeable that the stainless finish is not the same? The dishwasher is not next to the other appliances. Thank you

No problem. All of the stainless appliances in our kitchen are different brands with the same finishes.

My fridge, DW, range, and hood are all different brands. Would never buy matchy-matchy appliances.

Also, sometimes the stainless steel doesn't match exactly even within the same brand. The manufacturer will buy different runs of stainless steel from different suppliers and factories at different times. The eye doesn't notice this stuff in a kitchen, so don't worry about it.

Quick, think about your friends' and relatives' kitchens - can you recall if their appliances all match?

Just chiming in to say I’m very glad you’re not getting the GE dishwasher. Mine is just awful and I’m switching to Bosch
