Today’s appliances are not only about function anymore, they are adding to the aesthetic value of  kitchens. I remember drooling over colored washers and dryers at sears when I first saw them. I am even more excited with the variety of colors available these days. Take a look at this gorgeous washer and dryer from Electrolux …

And these large colored kitchen appliances….

I would love to have colored appliances in my kitchen because I think they look AW_SO_AWSOME!!! Though, I would limit myself to only one colored appliance so it would “pop” out and add interest to my kitchen design.

However, Allow me to drag my feelings aside

If I were in the market for buying a kitchen appliance, I would be really hesitant to buy a colored one! Large appliances are a major long-term investment, and because of that I would be afraid to commit myself to a specific color for years! What if I get tired of it? What if it gets scratched up and there is no exact color match? What if the appliance needed to be replaced, and that color is discontinued ? What then? Knowing how light affects color perception, how would my chosen color look in my kitchen?

This is what I would rather do…..

I would rather have a neutral color that would blend with any color scheme, look modern, and elegant. No, I am not talking stainless steel! I learned that an oiled bronze finish is predicted to take over stainless steel appliances in the future. As a matter of fact, Jenn-Air has already launched their oiled bronze finish appliances in 2008. Take a look….

Or, I would add a jolt of color through small colored appliances…. the ones that don’t have to break the bank! Take a look at some of the choices available…..

These look refreshing, don’t they?

That’s it! I have decided to liven up my kitchen with a small colored appliance. Maybe that pink mini food processor above!

How about you? Would you invest into large colored appliances, or would you rather just buy a small one? Or, you don’t really like the idea of colored appliances? Please share your thoughts.
