Of course, if we are talking about a modern style, there can be no question of any classic models of technology. The hob and oven come in three colors: white, black and ivory. Be careful with white, it often comes with a greenish tint. 90% of kitchens are equipped with black appliances. And in a complete set with a sink and mixer. It is practical, because even in an untidy state it looks decent. This color is suitable for any kitchen color scheme. On snow-white – it will become a bright accent, on dark it will complement perfectly. In general, the option is a win-win. The hood is also selected either in the color of the entire technique, or under the color of the upper facades. But as a rule, built-in models are now preferred, and they have only one strip 40-50 mm high visible. And it’s usually chrome-plated.
Retro models are suitable only if you want to bring the style closer to the loft direction. This is where classic ovens and faucets will come in handy. But basically, a modern kitchen is simplicity, conciseness without unnecessary details, clean and shiny.
