Kitchen appliance trend: What should I do?

June 28th, 2010 | by admin |
Kilroy Roboto asked:


I am remodeling my kitchen. The cabinets will not be changed but the counter top, the floor and the walls are being redone. I will be using either granite or quartz for the counter. Tile floor and back splash. Painted walls.

My dilemma: my appliances are fairly new….but bisque in color. EVERY new kitchen I see in magazines, etc has stainless appliances, which I was not originally crazy about but I’ve grown to like (somewhat) perhaps because I’m now used to seeing them. I’ll be spending around $20 thousand (maybe more) for the redo, which is more than I originally wanted to spend. I am agonizing over the appliances. Will I regret not replacing the appliances if I keep the bisque? I don’t know. Will a remodel without replacing the appliances look cheap? (There is nothing wrong with what I have). Or is it money wasted if I buy new?

I realize I can keep them and buy new later if I change my mind. However, the color choices I make NOW are, in part, influenced by the appliances. My other fear is that I could buy the stainless now only for the trend to change AGAIN. I’ve noticed an increasing amount of black out there, too.

If you were me…what would YOU do? (I’m not rich…but I have some money to play with—but there are ALWAYS other places that money could go—other projects or better yet….in my savings account).

Advice?

    If you’re upgrading to sell the house go for the stainless steel appliances. If it’s for your own use and pleasure you could keep the bisque and change it later if you want to. I know a few people who have gotten the black appliances and I don’t like the look of it. I have white because I like that nice clean look. The appliances should be easy to replace, unlike counters, walls, and floors.

    The appliance color and floor colors to tie the cabinets you have now then would keep the appliance color and floor colors to tie the counter toptile and cabinet color together.
