What color applicances would budge other wiith light/med oak kitchen cabinet?
Black hides dirt, if you hold childern do not get stainless steal everything shows finger prints smugges everything. and i in a minute have to spend an extra 10 mins while cleaning to polish my appilances however if you are going for a more modern look be in motion for the stainless steal , you can always return with black and stainless steal appliances... they also have paint for appliances that you can be in motion to pink or orange if thats your entity, My next set will be the investigational ones whirlpool simply released thats a dry erase finish. so you can wright directly on them. and still use magnets.
I would match it to your countertops instead of your cabinet. That color goes near pretty much anything. It's your counter I would concentrate on.
My neighbor and I have like peas in a pod kitchen layout and same granite countertops...he upgraded to stainless steel and I stayed with my black ones, i suggest black looks classier and better overall. He even wished he have gotten black.
Answers: I have duplicate color cabinets and I hold black appliances, but I plan on switching to stainless steel.
