Kitchen appliance color New Matt black or stainless steel

6 years ago

We are doing total kitchen renovation and wanted to get feel for what color is more popular for kitchen appliances. I have attached photos of layout. The cabinets are Euepsyle laminate light grey. Counter top will be lighter grey white. Your feedback appreciated.

Not a pro here, but I have heard that this is not a uniform finish among manufacturers, so if you want your appliances to match, you will need to buy them all from the same manufacturer. Also, there are some maintenance issues. Apparently the black finish is placed over a stainless steel base and if your surface is scratched, the silver color shows. From an aesthetic point of view, I think your kitchen cabinets are beautiful and black appliances would distract from them. So, I affirm my “vote” for silver stainless steel! But then....I am just one opinion! Good luck!

I'd go with stainless, myself (unless you're planning on a pro style range, in which case I might go for red, with the rest stainless.)

The black appliance color I am referring to is Black stainless steel except that instead of shining it is matt finish.

The black will scratch in no time. Avoid.

Black would be very wrong in that kitchen. It’s a terrible finish anyway. The coating scratches and you see the stainless under it.

Your kitchen design could be tweaked to improve both function and form. Post a measured layout and you will get concrete suggestions to improve it.
