Kitchen Trends: Black, White and Cool Metallics Lead the Way

Miele introduces two new Design Worlds into its colour

 

London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/10/2010 -- Homeowners seeking out increasingly sophisticated and stylish design statements in their kitchens can now enjoy the ultimate in kitchen design co-ordination as German premium domestic appliance manufacturer Miele launches two stunning new Design Worlds for appliances -Brilliant White Plus and ICE.

Stainless steel has long reigned as the appliance colour of choice in any modern kitchen, however, those opting for a dramatically chic design statement can now delight in the cool, crisp lines of the new Brilliant White Plus colour option as the minimalist look is taken to the extreme. Appliances in the Brilliant White Plus range are striking in their fully white exteriors, with a sleek white gloss finish and white opaque glass oven door, and bright chrome handles and frames completing the look.

ICE offers an understated design feature in a cool and contemporary metallic hue. The smoked glass oven doors create a clouded and simple effect whilst the beautiful chrome handles and trim ensure the fashion-forward homeowner’s kitchen is perfectly mirrored in functionality, quality and design.

To complement the new appliance colour themes, Miele has also added to its black appliance colour offering as black kitchens continue in their popularity as a contemporary kitchen colour choice. Appliances in the range feature black glass frontage coupled with aluminium trims, and the addition of a coffee machine to the collection now ensures a complete black product suite for a perfectly sophisticated kitchen.

Neil Pooley, Group Product Manager for Miele, says: “Although stainless steel still remains popular, kitchen trends are currently centring on monochrome palettes and consumers are increasingly seeking to blend excellent design with functionality in their kitchens. We’re seeing kitchen design become crisper and cleaner - giving both a modern and unique, contemporary look to any home. The Brilliant White Plus range has been heavily influenced by strong white colour cues in other markets including cars and consumer electronics, and emphasises state-of-the-art technology combined with a true essence of quality and style.”

Available from March 2010, the range of appliances available in Brilliant White Plus, ICE and Black vary according to colour option, but include the H 5461 BP 60cm built-in oven, the CVA 5060 built-in coffee machine, the DG 5061 built-in steam oven and the Alba extractor hood.
