ARE WHITE APPLIANCES COMING BACK IN STYLE?

If you’re shopping for a new appliance or gearing up for a complete remodel, choosing the right appliances to fit your style can be a challenging decision. Trends in home design come and go, and when you’re making a lasting purchase, you should focus on the designs and finishes that speak to your personal taste. Use this guide to learn more about appliance finish styles for 2025 and discover how to work white appliances into your design for the new year.

ARE WHITE APPLIANCES IN STYLE FOR 2025?

While white appliances are not generally considered a new trend, a white appliance can be the perfect neutral option to fit with a range of styles from ultra modern to kitschy vintage. This timeless, clean look easily complements a variety of color schemes and design aesthetics, making these appliances a steadfast choice.

There are also a few updates you can make to a kitchen that already has white appliances to make it feel more on trend. You can use your white appliances to create an unexpected take on modern design, like the monochromatic look of an all white kitchen, a pop of white against dark cabinets and walls, or as an offset for luxe brass and gold hardware. This finish can also help a smaller kitchen feel bigger, as white plays with the light and tricks the eye into seeing more open space.

WHAT COLOR CABINETS GO WITH WHITE APPLIANCES?

When you’re searching for kitchen color ideas to pair with white appliances, the options are nearly limitless. If a crisp, sleek monochromatic look is what speaks to you, you can pair white appliances with white countertops, cabinets and backsplashes.

This finish also works as a neutral backdrop to complement bright color schemes, so you can lean into pastels, jewel tones or warm and subdued colors.

CAN YOU HAVE WHITE KITCHEN CABINETS WITH WHITE APPLIANCES?

Since white is a neutral color that helps make the room look clean and bright, you can create an airy, modern kitchen with white appliances and cabinets. If monochrome isn’t your style, try adding a colorful backsplash or bronze handles, knobs and faucets to your white kitchen with white appliances.

For even more added color in a white kitchen with white major appliances, consider adding some vibrant countertop appliances. KitchenAid brand has a wide selection of colorful stand mixers, blenders, kettles and toasters that can add a pop of color and visual interest to your white kitchen.

CAN YOU MIX STAINLESS STEEL AND WHITE APPLIANCES?

Though it is typical for kitchen appliances to match in finish, this is a design rule you can bend to fit your personal style. Stainless steel and white finishes are both considered neutral, so you can get creative by mixing finish colors to create an eye-catching aesthetic.

If you’re looking to upgrade your white appliances to stainless steel or black stainless steel, KitchenAid brand has a selection of stainless and black stainless steel appliances with PrintShield^® Finish that resists smudges and fingerprints, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time creating.

Alternatives to white appliances

Stainless steel is an appliance color trend that should remain strong in 2025. If you’re looking for an on-trend kitchen refresh, consider updating white or black appliances to stainless steel.  For a softer, warmer alternative to traditional stainless steel, explore black stainless steel appliances from KitchenAid brand.

WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF MODERN WHITE KITCHEN APPLIANCES?

Though white is a traditional finish color, there are several modern white options to help keep your space feeling current. A flush-mount appliance that blends seamlessly with kitchen cabinets can help add a sleek, modern touch to your kitchen. For other modern white kitchen appliances, look for models with contemporary touchpoints and bold design details such as:

• Prominent handles

• Commercial-style control knobs

• Sleek glass touch controls

• Counter-depth and built-in options

KitchenAid brand offers white microwaves, ranges, refrigerators, wall ovens and dishwashers that combine this timeless finish with contemporary designs that look sleek and fresh.
