Ivory Appliances

5 years ago

In our new build I’m thinking of going with a khaki/mushroom color cabinet, soapstone counters, and a zellige backsplash in sandstone. The backsplash will go up to the height of open shelving (a wood tone to go with European white oak floors), and above that will be painted a mossy green color. I’ve put pictures below of the combo I’m considering. i think i like that all together, but I keep getting stuck on the appliances! i am not a fan of stainless, and want everything in the kitchen to have a warm feel, so I was looking at nice looking ivory appliances. the problem with those are they are insanely expensive. I like the Hallman ranges, but then there is no fridge in the same color. Aga is lovely, but i dont think I can justify spending 13k or more on appliances. My dream set would be from Elmira, but again would run close to 15k. Should I give up and go for stainless? Would white work? i will likely have a white farmhouse sink, so would that plus white grout in the backsplash be enough to make white appliances like GE cafe work? I dont want to ruin the whole look by getting appliances that don’t seem to fit in with my other choices. I’d also love feedback on whether or not you think my choices would be cohesive, as well as if a lighter beige might be a better cabinet color.

    13K would be really low for the level of kitchen you’re planning. That’s a refrigerator. Not a whole set of appliances, including cooking, ventilation, and make up air. Thats more like 30-40K.

    Verbo- i understand brands like le cornue or lacanche would be that high, but I am seeing Aga at 13k and the Elmira fridge I like priced around 8k. With the other components that should end up around 16-20k. Still too much.


    i guess I’m wondering if I can make the design work with white appliances or if it will look out of place. or if there is another option that would still have the warmth that ivory would bring to the space.

    Why not do a paneled fridge? Imagine how hard it will be to replace an ivory appliance in a few years if it breaks. ps. Love my Hallman :)

    Lucky- I’m not sure about paneled only because I have young kids and I’m worried that itll be constant finger marks all over the lighter paint. I’m also worried that the paint wouldn’t hold up to the use under the handles. Do you have experience with paneled fridges? I’ll have to do more research on the longevity of the finish on paneled appliances.

    I have a paneled dishwasher and 4 kids. Way less finger prints than with stainless. Zero wear in 13 months of daily use.
