Black is back and it’s looking sleeker and more sophisticated than ever. Through the years appliances have taken many turns on the most popular looks. They’ve made their way through the colors of white, almond, green, golden yellows, and black. Once stainless steel came out, it took off as the ultimate look for any kitchen decor theme. Stainless steel made a kitchen look rich and sophisticated, and it would blend with just about any style or color scheme. Now, even though stainless steel appliances are still a sought after look for the kitchen, black has earned its way back into the kitchen, and it’s looking smarter than ever. One great thing about black is that it can easily be mixed with stainless steel, so if you don’t want all appliances to stand out in black, throw in a few stainless steel appliances, or get one that is a nice combo of the two looks.
