Add a splash of color to your Kitchen

In most modern, lofty or classic kitchens you will find some version of a stainless or sleek black appliance. Although these are classic and elegant, it is great to explore new options. Many appliance companies have come out with their own version of a coloured appliance, some have dared to be bold with bright colors, while others have kept to a more mainstream look with bronze and navy blue tones.

When it comes to design, the integration of modern kitchen cabinets with retro appliances if a fun combination that will put a smile on your face at every breakfast and dinner. A mix of two styles is a great way to achieve a unique design and refreshed approach to the ordinary. If you are one that spends a lot of time in the kitchen, cooking and entertaining, this is a sure way to make a statement and liven up the mood for everyone involved.

If a retro appliance is of interest to you, you can choose from various options. One option is to find a reproduction appliance company, like Big Chill, Smeg or Northstar. The second option is to find a true vintage appliance which can be refurbished to meet the current modern safety standards and energy efficiency protocols.

The other popular look for a variation on the modern appliance, is to do antique appliances (from the 30's era) which have a very bold and distinctive presence. If you find an antique appliance you can always take it to a specialty shop and have it powder coated in whatever color you like!

If going bold with your major kitchen appliances is simply not a statement you are willing to make a commitment to, then consider small appliances with a big punch. Look at one of the classic Kitchen Aid vivid coloured mixers or Bodum's colourful toasters!

Give your kitchen a makeover and a bright splash of excitement with a new coloured piece of machinery. You will be sure to be enlightened!
