ANYWHERE USA - ITS COLOR TIME IN APPLIANCE LAND
More Zip In The Kitchen. It is time for color appliances, and especially in the kitchen, color is most certainly king. Aside from electronic gadgets that will make appliances do everything from cook you food to whistle Dixie this year’s big thing in appliances is color, color and more color. While kitchens have long been a place for the family and friends to gather in a home, they are now becoming a place to make a fashion statement. Interchangeable colored panels, metalic colors and oiled bronze are just some the glitz you can view everywhere from appliance showrooms to East Nowhere USA. Over the long haul they probably won’t replace stainless steel as the over-all look of choice but they certainly make strong inroads into it. Yes, there have been some kitchen appliances of strong colors before but not with the many shades and hues that are available now.
Bertazzoni’s professional ranges come in yellow, blue, red, green and burgundy. Dacor can give you microwaves, dishwashers and refrigerators with floating glass front panels of Blue Water, Anthracite Gray, Black, Titanium Silver, Sterling Gray and Slate Green. Viking, the name most people associate with what you buy when you “care enough to buy the very best” lets it all hang out with their wide selection of colors. Want Mint Julep ya’ll? They have it. Want lemonade? They have it. How about Butter Creme? They have it AND they have 21 other color as well!
Fridges are available that will display digital pictures, let you operate the oven from your cell phone and, believe it or not, even keep your food refrigerated. No! Yes!!
Cars aren’t the only things that come as hybrids. The Paragon range as a gas cooktop and an electric oven as well. Of the two ovens one is convection while the second provides seven modes. The cooktop has six burners and a device that cuts the gas automatically if the heat goes out.
Despite all the technical “gee whizzers” color is still the center of attention. While we are on this “Color Me Wild” kick, GE Monogram offers range hood inserts that can be trimmed with several decorative types of finishes including wood and tile. So, if you want to go wild with color and get away with it start in the kitchen.
Hues to you!
