Avocado Green...oh, my. It boggles the mind when you consider that
someone in the appliance industry actually thought this would be the
penultimate color for appliances. As every renter or first time
homeowner can tell you...it is not! If you are considering buying new
appliances, however, it does raise the issue of what colors should you
go with?
One Appliance
Let's say you are watching
television one night and a hear something that sounds like running
water. You follow the sound to the kitchen and find water coming out
from under your dishwasher! It turns out your 35 year old dishwasher has
rusted through and you need a new one. In this scenario, the color
issue is an easy one. You should go with a color that matches the other
appliances in your kitchen. If everything is white, go with white. If
everything is black, go with black. If everything is Avocado
Green...well, you might want to remodel!
A Big Change
Remodeling
one's kitchen is very popular when it comes to home improvements. If
you are taking such a project on, you are probably going to ditch all of
your old appliances. This is whether color becomes a big issue.
The
first step is to take a deep breath. Appliances come in a variety of
bold patterns and colors these days. Avoid them. You want to go with a
color that is softer and neutral. Yes, these tend to be bland, but the
appliances should be a supporting factor in your new kitchen and not the
focus of the remodel.
More importantly, the use of bold colors
on appliances dates them. I thought I looked pretty suave in my 1999
outfits, but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them today. The same goes
for appliances. Your bold, new appliances are going to look dated in
2015. That may seem a long way off, but holding onto a home for five
years is pretty normal. This is particularly true in this real estate
market which can be described as slightly tepid. The hot appliance color
trend in 2010 will undoubtedly be old news a few years later.
Black
may or may not be your color preference, but it works very well with
appliances. Why? It tends to blend well with just about everything. It
goes well with wood or tile floors. It blends really well with stainless
steel and marble tops. When in doubt, black appliances can always be a
fall back position.
I don't have to tell you that appliances are
expensive. You need to get it right the first time you buy them. All and
all, that usually means going conservative is the best option when it
comes to picking colors.
