How To Choose Your Kitchen Appliance Finishes

Every kitchen has its own aesthetic. When deciding on kitchen appliance finishes, an excellent first step is deciding your color scheme. Experts recommend the new finish aligns with your current appliances, by doing so you can provide your kitchen with a cohesive look that reflects your personal style. In this article we are taking a closer look at some of the kitchen appliance finishes to assist you in finding your perfect fit!

Sleek Stainless Steel Finish

Stainless steel offers a glossy, lustrous look! Homeowners that select this finish might need to clean more often because fingerprints can become more visible compared to other options. It is worth the upkeep if you love the look! This shiny finish creates a clean, sophisticated aesthetic. Perhaps the biggest benefit to stainless steel is its durability and ability to blend with a variety of kitchen styles from traditional to contemporary.

Pro Tip: Experts recommend to keep your stainless steel appliances looking shiny and new, use a microfiber cloth and wipe in the direction of the grain. According to The Maids, you can use pure olive oil or baby oil to protect the shine!

Modern Matte Finish

A strong matte finish is ideal for family homes because the texture conceals minor imperfections such as fingerprints that might come and go. Homeowners love the rich, warm tones matte finishes provide in the kitchen. Matte offers a softness and subtleness that is perfect for those that love a modern, minimalistic kitchen.

Pro Tip: To keep your matte finish appliances looking lovely avoid abrasive cleaners or the scouring-pad side of a sponge because these can cause scratching! Simply use a soft cloth and a little bit of soapy water to keep the matte finish looking smooth. 

Classic Black Finish

A traditional black finish is similar to a matte finish because it can conceal minor imperfections that may occur over time. You can achieve a similar modern look if you combine a glossy matte with a black finish. This option provides additional versatility, because black matches with any accent color you choose!

Pro Tip: This is a low-maintenance option! Unlike their stainless-steel, black appliances do not need a special polish to maintain their condition. Experts recommend wiping down the black appliances with just a soft cloth and warm, soapy water as needed.

Bold Color Finishes

You can also purchase appliances in unique color options such as mint green or teal. This option was made for the kitchen trend setters who are not afraid to try new things! One trending color finish is lavender with or with stainless steel appliances. Experts recommend using traditional colors such as brown, black or white for your countertops or cabinets if you do decide to go bold with color finishes to not overwhelm the room.

Pro Tip: You can paint your appliances! However, if you decide to do so it is important to do your research to ensure it is the correct type of paint that will not chip over time. Experts recommend using appliance epoxy paint.
