It's your home, do as you wish. I have stainless and black stainless in my kitchen.

It only matters if you plan to sell the home.

Thank you both! I really don't want to be limited in choice just because it have this notion that they should match. I got over that they all had to be the same brand awhile ago thank goodness (I love my Bosch dishwasher)

Hi, Javiwa! Don’t want to hijack this thread but wondering if you ever got a satisfactory resolution on your cabinets and counters. Have you posted about and I missed while I was gone? Post a link to the thread if you don’t mind.

ETA we had stainless and black before remodeling and it never bothered me even a little.

Hey there, townlakecakes! I'll message you separately so we can spare the OP, unless anyone's dying to know. Short answer to both: nope. I mean, settled and moved on with life, but by no means satisfied. I posted an objective, detailed, one-star review about the cabinets, and the company's attorney(s) sent a very threatening letter. No bueno.

Get the appliance that WORKS . In stainless

You should be making the investment to upgrade all of your appliances to stainless. So if the oven is the first one, great. Get stainless and then as the others die or need to be replaced, then replace those with stainless one by one until you get a complete stainless set.

Bosch 800 or Benchmark are two models along with the Friidaire products. Once you use induction you'll be thinking only of the dramatic performance difference. Plus the simple cleanup.

Matching is overrated. Stainless goes with everything.

You will not regret induction. Don't think twice about matching. Change out appliances when their time comes. Bosch does induction very well and is generally a good value.

We had mismatched appliances for the first couple years we lived in this house, and I hate-hate-hated it. I was so glad when the range died, and I could replace it. I would not purposefully enter into a mismatched situation.

If you like the stainless look, get your induction stainless range. It will be perfectly content to keep company with your white appliances. I like how this person not only mixed appliance finishes but added brass cabinet pulls and fixtures into the mix.

GE has their Café induction in white with brass handles. So beautiful, but completely the opposite of our color scheme. I went with the single over stainless instead.

my comfort zone is stainless + 1 other finish. so white and stainless. or black and stainless. but not black and white. definitely not bisque and white.

I have a white fridge and the rest stainless. I think it looks fine.

mona, some day if you can go to a counter depth fridge (with maybe an additional fridge in basement or garage) it would really open up that doorway. nice kitchen.

@ninigret thanks! yup I will get counter depth once this fridge dies. I just wasn't willing to part with it yet. Also there are three other doorways into the kitchen, this one is the least used so it's really not an issue, I'd switch to counter depth for aesthetics only.
