Coloured Appliances: Are You Ready to Say "So Long" to Stainless?

Bertazzoni Professional Series

Not for the faint of heart, coloured appliances are slowly making their way into an increasing number of kitchen designs.

For those homeowners who lived through the harvest-gold and avocado-green appliance trend in the 70s, it's understandable why committing to colour would require some courage. It also explains why stainless steel appliances are all the rage. After all, what doesn't go with stainless steel?

But if you're ready to add some warmth and character to your kitchen design -- and you're tired of constantly wiping fingerprint smudges off your stainless steel appliances -- there are many options to choose from.

"Coloured appliances can be a fun and unexpected way to personalize your kitchen," says Monarch designer Jackie Schagen. 

"In a contemporary kitchen, a Professional Series Bertazzoni range can pack a punch while their Heritage Series range selection is better suited to a tradtional style with a nod to the past. 

"If 50s retro is more your speed, why not try a coloured refrigerator from Smeg? They even have cute small appliances to match, like toasters and kettles!"  

Call Monarch today to learn more about incorporating coloured appliances in your new kitchen design.
