A colored range adds a pop of visual property to your kitchen. But, we know this trend is not for everyone. It is not as “long lasting" as the traditional beige, black, stainless steel, and neutral hues. Thus, when a homeowner decides new design changes are in order, a colored range limits their possibilities. (Though if you see it from a different perspective, it can enhance design capabilities as well.)

A colored range offers the same features as the conventional oven options. In addition, it adds warmth, texture and depth to any kitchen. For a kitchen centered around the oven range, consider a colored range for a unique touch.
