12 Eye-Candy Appliances That Enchant With Color
Move over, stainless. These rainbow-colored confections are bringing a delicious, unexpected note to kitchens and laundry rooms
Stainless steel has become the de rigueur finish for kitchen appliances in the past decade. Stainless, stainless, stainless. I have it myself, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's elegant and sleek.
But it's not the only fish in the sea. As a confirmed color lover, I have to admit I have found my eye wandering lately. I love my stainless, but there are all these bright, vivid and shiny new finishes out there: blues and yellows and reds. Some are modern and industrial; some are throwback and vintage. All of them are really, really cute.
I mean, a canary-yellow stove? It's hard to complete with that.

Here's the canary-yellow number from Bertazzoni for which my heart yearns. Shh, don't tell my current stove.
There's nothing new about a white stove. But a white La Cornue French range with vintage-inspired gold knobs and details is worth a second glance. Pretty, isn't it?
A 1947 candy-apple-red stove with an attached oven. Holy moley, what a looker.
Zing! A hot pink fridge by Big Chill was really the only proper choice for this color-loving room.
The same fridge but in orange. Here it looks modern and sleek. Big Chill fridges come in a range of curved or square lines.
A dark, glossy red fridge. Covering built-in refrigerators with custom cabinet paneling is a great way to hide them or make them pop with color.
Light blue ones are nice too.
