The new “stainless steel” in kitchen applicances?
After reading an article in the Pioneer Press, I’m intrigued that kitchen appliance makers will be rolling out a new finish to compete with stainless steel.
As with any trend, many taste-makers are predicting that because stainless steel appliances are available at any price point, and they have become ubiquitous in many remodeled kitchens, consumers will tire of this finish.
As a result, manufacturers such as Jenn-Air are rolling out applicances that feature an “oiled bronze” finish. The look is supposed to present a more “warm” look to kitchens, a contrast to what they claim can be a cold look that stainless steel applicances can present.
Stainless does have its shortfalls, fingerprints show up, and many stainless-steel refrigerators are not magnetic, but I personally like the look. Just something to consider.
