Is it Okay to Mix and Match Appliances?

Deciding to renovate your kitchen is a big commitment to both time and money. You may be ready to update your kitchen; however, buying all new appliances can get pricey very quickly! 

Well, you’re in luck. You may not have to buy all new appliances to create the cohesive design you want in your kitchen. It is now acceptable to mix and match your appliance styles and brands. Let’s take a look at some thoughts on this topic. 

Will People Notice? 

Think about it. Have you ever been in someone’s kitchen and closely inspected the brand of each one of their appliances? Definitely not. If you really look at kitchen appliances, most of the brands follow a similar design and are made with stainless steel. So as long as you choose the same exterior finish for your devices, I guarantee no one will notice if you are mixing a few different brands. 

Benefits of Mixing 

If you love to cook, you may be interested in the features of a specific appliance. The desired function of appliances differs for each individual. If you enjoy baking, invest in an oven with all the bells and whistles. Complete the rest of the kitchen with a more basic brand of appliances that will still get the job done. This allows you to splurge on the more important ones and save money on the rest. 

Mixing Materials

Using more than one appliance material throughout the kitchen can get tricky. You don’t want the kitchen to look messy, so don’t go overboard with different colors and materials. It is a good rule of thumb to stick with no more than two different finishes for your appliances. Make sure to do your research before to determine if they will flow together nicely. 

Conclusion 

It is ultimately your choice on how you want your kitchen to look. Don’t get too stuck on making sure your kitchen is flawless. A little mixing and adding accent pieces can actually make a kitchen more interesting and unique. Make sure to add your own personal style into your renovations!
