WILD: Color invades the kitchen – Decorator appliances
It’s an exciting new trend in appliances — an idea that’s been growing by leaps and bounds ever since the first tame departure from clinical white to pale pastels and subdued browns.
All of this newly-unleashed color is part of a bigger trend toward more imaginative design in the kitchen. The thinking behind the trend is that since so much of your time is spent in the kitchen, and so much money is invested there, it ought to be at least as colorful and attractive as any other room in the house. And a wildly colorful kitchen might very well inspire you to some wildly creative cooking.
So why not have a red dishwasher, a green refrigerator, a blue range? Then coordinate them with all the exciting new materials available now for floors, work surfaces and walls.
It goes without saying, of course, that this new color excitement is just one more wonderful feature of today’s appliances — a plus factor added to the marvelous performance you expect and deserve from them.
