Stainless steel appliances may have become more standard in the past years, but the metallic style is still popular. Offering modern kitchens a professional, timeless look, most come in muted gray tones; however, as seen at IFA 2015, new stainless steel hues are all the rage.

Lovers of stainless steel hoping for a new aesthetic can now opt for black from KitchenAid in a range of appliances like fridges, dishwashers, and single and double wall ovens. Both Samsung and LG now also offer the darker color in a variety of appliances.

The darker shade is a sleek upgrade from the classic white appliances found in many kitchens.

For those looking to add a dark shade of stainless steel to their kitchens, it’s important to note that each brand’s take on the popular dark steel varies slightly, so as always it’s best to buy all appliances from the same brand.
