Remember when stainless steel was the go-to for a "modern" kitchen? It seemed like every home renovation show ended with a metallic kitchen reveal. While that look remains a classic, a vibrant new trend is taking over kitchen design. Colored kitchen appliances are bringing personality, expression, and joy into the mix.
Let’s explore some popular kitchen designs and how color brings them to life. We’ll look at dramatic, clean, eclectic, or coordinated styles, plus share 2025 design predictions for kitchen color trends.

Shop In-Stock AppliancesThe Dramatic Kitchen
Say goodbye to safe and subtle—the dramatic kitchen is all about bold statements ideal for homeowners who want a space that feels unique, luxurious, and full of personality. This trend moves beyond popular farmhouse or minimalist styles into something with more depth and impact. Think gourmet kitchens with the most popular color for kitchen appliances and bold designs that demand attention.
Dark, moody tones are key. Black kitchen appliances are trending as the sleek, sophisticated alternative to stainless steel. Black stainless steel provides a similar look with a softer, smudge-resistant finish. But drama isn’t just about black. Exciting colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, and burgundy can also make a striking impact in the kitchen.
Focus on one hero appliance. Choose a bold range or refrigerator as the focal point, with cabinets, countertops, and other appliances playing supporting roles. The result? A high-end, personalized space that’s unapologetically you.

⭐Featured Samsung RM80F23VMR Review:
“This Samsung RM80F23VMRAA is amazing so far. It has a ton of space for food in the fridge and in the freezer, items are able to be stacked and organized easily. The water pitcher on the inside refills itself and the water tastes super good, no weird flavor like with other filtered water. The ice is also tasty and a good size. The fun part is the ice maker also makes "whiskey ball" ice which is so cool…This refrigerator is already fun to use and it's exciting to open it every time.”

Creating Clean Kitchen Presentations
Clean and tidy doesn't have to mean boring. In smaller kitchens, a clean aesthetic can make the space feel larger, brighter, and more organized. While white is a classic choice, today’s options go beyond the glossy white appliances of the ‘90s.
Modern white kitchens focus on texture and nuance, creating a serene, welcoming space with the latest trend in appliance colors.
Appliance color trends for a clean look include matte white, with a soft, velvety finish that resists fingerprints, and glossy white, which reflects light for a sleek feel. Off-white or cream tones add a slightly warmer touch.
For the best result, stick to one shade of white across appliances, and pair white appliances with white cabinets for a seamless, spacious look. To avoid a sterile feel, add texture with a tiled backsplash or wood countertops, and introduce pops of color with plants, towels, or rugs. Designing a kitchen color scheme is all about balance.

⭐Featured Cafe CGE29DP4TW2 Review:
“Once I saw this fridge, I fell in head over heels with it, the look is very luxurious & storage is designed to hold more than most fridges. The slide out drawer with its features is a great option as you can change it to suit your needs. It took a bit for the ice maker (3-5 days) to get it full capacity but it hasn’t disappointed since. So glad we were able to purchase this to replace our out dated fridge.”

Putting Together an Eclectic Kitchen
For free spirits and creative souls, an eclectic kitchen is the ultimate form of self-expression. This style ignores rules and focuses on a curated mix of pieces you love. However, for best results, we recommend creating balance.
The key is to avoid chaos or clutter. Treat it like a conversation between styles, colors, and textures. Pair a vintage-inspired, brightly colored range with sleek modern cabinets, or mix appliance finishes. Designers are also going bold with larger appliances to anchor the space, together with smaller units, decor, and personal touches to pull it all together.
Red, blue, green, yellow, pink—any color works, and this is where colored kitchen appliances shine. Here are a few examples of how to create an eclectic kitchen.

A coordinated kitchen creates a polished and cohesive look that feels intentional and timeless. But coordinated doesn’t mean boring. The modern approach uses textures and hardware to add personality and prevent the space from feeling flat.
This is where the latest appliance finish trends shine. Brands like Café, Monogram, and Dacor offer customizable hardware and finishes, letting you pick a primary appliance color and pair it with different hardware finishes. This small detail can make a big impact on your kitchen’s overall style.
Try these modern pairings for a sophisticated look:

Trend Forecast: Appliance Colors Our Experts Predict
What’s next for kitchens? Our 2025 interior design predictions point to more color and personalization. The era of playing it safe is fading, with spaces embracing individual style. Appliance color trends are shifting toward earthy, nature-inspired tones and soft pastels.
If you're wondering what’s new in appliances, these bold and customizable options are leading the way. Our designers’ 2025 kitchen trend predictions call for a move away from cool grays to warmer, comforting hues like terracotta, sage green, dusty rose, and warm beige. These colors bring calm and a connection to nature. Expect kitchen color schemes to become even more colorful and expressive.
- Colored Refrigerators: Refrigerators will remain a focal point for color. Custom panels, like Samsung's BESPOKE line, will grow in popularity, allowing endless creativity. Expect deep greens and warm earthy reds to lead the way. A sophisticated, nature-inspired hue could become the top appliance color.
- Colored Dishwashers: Panel-ready dishwashers will stay popular for a seamless look, but more models will feature finishes matching their brand’s colored suites. Picture a dishwasher in matte black or rich navy blue, perfectly tying a kitchen color scheme together.
- Colored Ranges: While refrigerators occupy the most space, ranges continue to be the centerpiece for luxury kitchens. Shades like burnt orange and deep teal are trending. Brands like BlueStar and La Cornue, known for extensive palettes, remain favorites among designers.
- Colored Wall Ovens: Wall ovens will expand beyond stainless steel. Matte white and matte black are already in demand, and brands like Café are likely to offer more customizable colors to coordinate with hardware. When considering how to design a kitchen color scheme, don’t overlook the potential of wall ovens to tie everything together seamlessly.
