For those of us who survived avocado green and harvest gold kitchens of 70 s it s no wonder neutral appliances have anchored kitchens for the past few decades.
Mismatched kitchen appliance colors.
Matching appliances in color and brand or the best appliance possible.
Avocado green appliances were once all the rage.
In fact some of those colorful fridges and ovens might still be in service but that avocado green refrigerator is likely considered more retro than energy efficient.
Even with the electrical appliances white or stainless steel is no longer necessarily the color of choice.
If you pick a.
Apparently the only time it seems to add value to your home is if you re buying top.
From bisque and white of the 80 s and 90 s to modern stainless steel homeowners have been wary of new appliance colors for a long time.
Chocolate brown or truffle brown appliances.
Appliance shopping à la carte may require a bit more time and research than purchasing a package deal.
While most appliance manufacturers these days have wonderful products across the board perhaps your favorite dishwasher range and refrigerator come from different companies.
The chocolate brown refrigerator color was once very popular in the 1960s but it lost its charm in the decades that followed.
Instead double down on contrast like white with silver or black or red or blue with white or silver.
Many manufacturers have black models on offer which fit seamlessly into the dark kitchens.
It s yet to be seen if today s appliances will live as long as those decades old models.
When i went appliance shopping for my new white kitchen the rest of the before s and after s are here the salesperson informed me that i could always coordinate my appliances that they did not need to match pantry wall before.
Knowing that my fridge and wall oven would be right beside each other below i did not even consider a coordinating scenario.
Otherwise get appliances you love with similar finishes.
But if you can t stick to two colors that work together.
But with proper planning that added effort can result in a kitchen that s budget friendly.
