Make a bold statement with the trend taking over the appliance market – dark stainless steel. With their performance ranking as high as their stunning looks it’s no wonder that brand leaders are finishing their ovens, cooktops, rangehoods and fridges in this striking style. And with it boasting the same scratch and fingerprint resistant qualities as regular stainless steel, why wouldn’t you make the switch? If you’re looking to just dip your toe in the water with this trend, a great way to start is with a new rangehood. For a more subtle look, and integrated rangehood is the way to go as they blend seamlessly with your kitchen cabinetry, but for those wanting to go a bit larger a canopy rangehood is ideal. Continuing on the cooking vein, a dark stainless steel oven that pairs perfectly with your rangehood will make a great centrepiece in your cooking space. An oven that provides a great user experience and multiple functions and still looks great will please any home chef. Create culinary delights with a cooktop. Clean up is made particularly easy on these cooktops, as the dark stainless steel finish makes it super easy to wipe up messes and spills while still maintaining an ultra-modern look. For those with young families, a fridge finished in dark stainless steel not only looks great, but also has the same fingerprint resistant abilities as regular stainless steel. Coming in a range of sizes, like French door for larger household or top and bottom mount, these fridges boast amazing functionality in a striking design. Leading brands Chef, Westinghouse and Electrolux have loved this look, finishing a range of their cooktops, rangehoods, ovens and fridges in this material. Known for making durable, on-trend appliances, these brands offer quality design and functionality across the range and have used dark stainless steel to enhance not only the look of their products, but also their dependability and long-lasting finish. As dark stainless steel is a material, not merely a coating, the durability allows these appliances to last for years to come while still maintaining their sleek looks. Being a darker colour, it also can disguise and hide mess more effectively than lighter colours. Perfect as a contrast with lighter coloured cabinetry or benchtops, or to compliment black cabinets and lighting, dark stainless steel appliances are easy to match with other items in your space while still making a striking statement. Modern and sleek, going to the dark side has never looked so good.
