    Although a personal preference, lighter appliances keep it more neutral, which offers endless redecorating opportunity. For more kitchen renovation ideas, visit our web page: T&K Kitchen Renovations

      I like the black stainless because of it's contrast to the white cabinets.

      White.

      If a kitchen is just a series of cabinets with appliances, then any color of the rainbow works. Stainless gets more votes because we have been inundated with these pictures. If a kitchen is an architectural space, then it must be treated as a 3-dimensional sculpture. If a full height pantry was on the end, this would be an end point of the sculpture. A refrigerator on the end should be treated similarly - the cabinet above it should be the same material in order to create the end of the sculpture. Not a stainless box with a with "bonnet" above it with side panels that look like the ribbons of the bonnet. Refrigerators are strong 3-dimensional objects - treat them with the respect they deserve.

      For me, dark appliances can really become the main focal point in kitchens with a lot of white. Works well if that's the desired outcome. Stainless seems to work with almost everything when it comes to balance.

      Black and white is a classic combination.
