Kitchen appliances aren't what they were when our parents were buying and decorating their first home. And they're certainly not what our grandparents had to work with. Not only are there a lot more tools to work with that make our meal prep easier — they're way prettier, too.
Instead of beige ovens and fridges, we have ones that are full of color and a variety of matte vs. metallic. There are bright colors, like yellow and red, that make their way into our kitchens. The benefit of having kitchen appliances that go beyond the typical stainless steel or white is it’s a fun way to add some of our personality into the kitchen — without having to commit to a full kitchen renovation.
Check out these stylish kitchen appliances that have a little something extra — whether that be color or pattern — that we love and can't get enough of.
Buttercup Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor
Food processers are one of those appliances we didn't know we needed until we got one. These make dinner prep a breeze and can be especially helpful for anyone who is making their own baby food for their little ones. This yellow, well buttercup, color will bring happy brightness to the kitchen.
Mini Waffle Maker & Grill
Having the right small kitchen appliances makes dinnertime easier and this two-in-one appliance has so much potential. Also, this beautiful teal color will make mornings happier while the kids change their mind mid-cook on whether they want chocolate chip waffles or blueberry.
Chic Matte White Fridge
We're obsessed with the GE Cafe Appliances series and for good reason — they're gorgeous, subtle, and fit into any modern kitchen. The matte white with brass hardware is especially stunning.
Vintage Floral Blender
Get rid of the boring black or chrome blender and say hello to this beautiful vintage floral one from The Pioneer Woman. There's rarely an opportunity to show some flair with a kitchen appliance, but this is the perfect mix of color and pattern.
Metallic Stand Mixer
For anyone who enjoys baking or making their own pasta, they'll know these KitchenAid stand mixers come highly recommended. We love this metallic pop of copper and think it would be a gorgeous standout — especially in a kitchen that has bright white cabinets.
Retro Toaster Oven
There is something super handy about having a toaster oven in the house — especially for those of us with kids who are old enough to use them. This one will also be pretty enough to leave on the kitchen counters with this stunning blue.
Rose Gold Multi Pressure Cooker
There's a big bonus for appliances that can pull double or triple duty. Added bonuses allotted for this multi-purpose cooker because it does eight different cooking methods, and it's gorgeous. We love the look of white and rose gold and it would look great on any kitchen counter.
A Dusty Rose Coffee Maker
Coffee is an essential part of the day. Being able to make a cup of coffee quickly is a dream for tired parents. This is one of the prettiest coffee makers we've come across with the dusty pink color. The perfect thing to make us smile in those early mornings.
The Most Beautiful Range Ever
Matte black with that brushed copper hardware just has us swooning over here — it almost makes us want to do an entire kitchen remodel based around this stunning item. Almost.

Violet Electric Air Fryer
This electric air fryer really stands out from the crowd. This purple color isn't seen in many appliances, so it will be a gorgeous pop of color. Bonus points for this product that lets us eat fried food without the fat.
Bright Green Juicer Machines
For families that want to add more green to their lives, this green juicer will make it that much better. It's pretty and will remind us to eat more healthy foods. Even if we have to hide the green vegetables in our morning smoothie!
Red Portable Slow Cooker
A bright pop of red is a great way to pump up the kitchen. So many parents can attest to this being an appliance that's worth the money it gives back in time. Plus, for any potlucks where a slow cooker is handy to bring, it won't be an eyesore on the table.
Retro Series Countertop Microwave Oven
The microwave is one of the kitchen appliances that is really handy for parents. This one adds a dollop of color and that retro feel that has really come back into popularity. A mix of modern and retro décor in the busiest room of the house is a good move.
Retro Mini Fridge
This fridge isn't only a pretty color (it also comes in red), but there's something gorgeous about the retro feel of these fridges. Instead of cold looking square chrome shapes, it has a more elegant feel with the rounded corners and fun handle.
Colorful Series Gas Range
There is something exciting about getting a new major appliance like a gas range. Sure, call us boring, but this is what brings joy as an adult. And it's not possible to be "meh" for anyone who is looking at this beautiful blue range.
Colorful Instant Pot
We're in love with the bright floral pattern on The Pioneer Woman-branded Instant Pot. This kitchen appliance is a time-saver for parents who are short on time. With this beautiful design, we won't mind seeing it on the counter night after night.
Colorful Series Integrated Dishwasher
Having to do the chores every night will be made a little easier knowing when the kitchen is clean, the room is going to look amazing. This glossy red dishwasher turns a chore into a positive kitchen focal point. Bonus points for the glossy finish that hides fingerprints a little better.
Purple Toaster With all the Whistles
Who knew we could get excited about a toaster? If we're going to need one to make the breakfast toast our toddler cried to have — only to leave it after one bite — this pretty one makes it so much nicer. We're loving the purple and the toaster has all the bells and whistles we didn't know we needed.
The Most Beautiful Hood Range
The often overlooked and forgotten hood range is rarely a focal point. And it's never something we've come to know as beautiful. But, with this copper hood, it's both at once. It would look like a million dollars in a kitchen that's white.
Metallic Blue Mixer
Now there are times that chrome and stainless steel would be the most beautiful choice for the kitchen. But if that's off the table, but we still want that vibe, this metallic blue finish is classy, timeless, and has a little something extra than stainless steel.
