What color are your small appliances, cookware and your kitchen accent colors?

My stuff doesn't match. I have one mixer in purple and another mixer that is a pale cream yellow. My food processor is steel and my Vitamix is black.

Kitchén is white. I try for red appliances if I can get them. I'm not to picky about having everything match. My fridge is no fingerprint charcoal, the stove and dishwasher are white. When they die they will be replaced with black. Cookware doesn't matter.

I HAVE SO MANY COLORS, I DID GET THE 9 CUP KA FOOD PROCESSOR WHEN IT CAME OUT WITH A WATERMELON COLOR, SO PRETTY BUT THEY DON'T OFFER IT ANYMORE.

My kitchen is decorated in shades of browns , beige & creams. My trim paint and appliances are white. The only small appliances sitting out are my kitchen aide mixer and coffee maker and they are both white.My cabinets are a medium brown shade. Floor white. To add color I have some colorful pictures in the eating area and I use brightly colored placemats & napkins and hang colorful towels. My kitchen table & chairs are white except the table top is wood and the seats I upholstered in turquoise blue to add some color. Little things like the spoon rest , salt & pepper shakers, teapot & breadbox are all Temptations floral lace in the turquoise color, I believe they call it aqua - but it is definitely turquoise to my eye.

Small appliances are stainless or white, cookware is stainless, and accent color is apple green.

My KA mixer is white but lately I've been buying SS for my small appliances, toaster, coffee pot. My cookware is Caphalon HA which is always in drawers.

Nothing is out on my counters because I have limited counter space in a galley kitchen.

My stove and fridge are white. And I keep no small appliances out except for my KA mixer which is an almond color (a gift from my mom for my wedding many years ago). Some day I'd like to change my appliances to almond or beige if I do a kitchen remodel.

Oh, my microwave is white too.

My goal is to have a very neutral kitchen, because I change my dinnerware/bakeware out about 4 times a year and I want a neutral backdrop so I can display those things. I go from Temp-tations Floral Lace blue this time of year, to Temp-tations Old World Fireworkfetti mixed with FL firework mid summer, to OW harvest (some years just OW spice) for the fall, then into Better Homes and Gardens winter dishes mixed with Temp-tations Poinsettia. I have a set of unique snowman dishes and accessories from Kohls a number of years ago that are based in browns, tans and burgundy for winter, with FL brown in the diningroom and kitchen also for winter.

All that changing of displays requires a neutral backdrop. My goal is to be able to use and display any dishes/towels/ serving pieces that catch my fancy, without worring about my kitchen having a 'color' that has to be worked around. So white and ivory and tans/browns do that for me.

I envy you! I miss my big kitchen & hutch I had in there. I have many seasonal pieces but downsized (they are mostly boxed) and no real place to display things -- boo hoo! Used to do the same change out dishes, etc. now I have just plain white and use my pieces to accent them (which is rare as I hardly entertain or cook in the past year😩).

I do know id have a lot more room in my attic/storage room if I donated some of them BUT I can't seem to part with seasonal things just yet.

I have some very nice Springfetti, Fallfetti, Cardinal Christmas & original OW & FL pieces from Temptations, too bad they are being phased out from Q. Although, my pieces bought when she first sold them are so much better quality than pieces of today!

I redid my kitchen & kept everything neutral.

Kitchen walls neutral, large appliances white, counter white, small appliances that are out (KA Mixer, Keurig, etc.) are white except for toaster which is purple. Cookware is purple, chair pads purple, kitchen towels purple. Slow cooker is purple, but only out when in use.

All of my small appliances are Orange! I've bought them through QVC, HSN, Penney's and a few other retailers but my stove and fridge are white.

My kitchen is red & white; my small appliances are white but my air fryer is red and when I buy a food processor, that will be red.

Another orange person here @JaneMarple... My major appliances are white, as is my microwave. Smaller appliances are stainless or stainless with black. Cookware is spice orange, as are the walls. Cabinets are grey and counter is a pebble look with specks of orange... My floor is off white with subtle grey shadings. Ceiling fan with lights is stainless and black...

My kitchen is everything and the kitchen sink. Lots of different colors, which I rearrange according to my mood.

I love color, and I love to "see through" the hue and tie things in, in what is to me an interesting way.

Never could I live with a static scheme. That would be prison to my sensibility!

I don't keep any of my small appliances out on the counter except for the coffee maker.

With the exception of the coffee maker, toaster, crockpot and KitchenAid - I got rid of every other small kitchen appliance I had. They never got used because they were stored away on a shelf or in a cabinet - small kitchen so no real room on the countertop - even with them stored away, they were taking up valuable space.

I have never missed not having any of them.
