3 of Our Favorite Appliance Design Accents

White cordless earbuds. Dress shoes with red outsoles. A robin-egg blue box with a white satin bow. When a brand has a signature design accent, people recognize it the moment they see it. What some people don't know is that these types of signature motifs aren't limited to wearable items; many kitchen appliances have unique design accents, too. Whether you're looking to bring a small decorative highlight to your kitchen, or you're seeking a starting point for the room's entire design scheme, here are three stylish signature accents from today's most trusted appliance brands that are worth knowing!

Thermador Star Burner

If you're seeking a unique feature in a gas range or gas cooktop, we suggest looking into Thermador's patented star-shaped burners. This brand's five-point burners offer a great look and an even better cooking experience. The five points of the star create a perimeter 56% longer than a round burner of the same size, with space for up to 50 gas ports as opposed to roughly 28. The Thermador star shape allows heat to be directed from the center to the outer edges of the pan, plus the "cold spot" in the burner's center is smaller than it would be on a round burner. This results in better heat contact, greater efficiency, and quicker cooking. You'll get an appealing design embellishment as well as a standout functional advantage.

Red KitchenAid Handle Medallions

KitchenAid is a brand name that's been a culinary mainstay for generations, and their design accent for major appliances is a red medallion on handles. This splash of red can be seen at the end of handles on KitchenAid dishwashers, wall ovens, and ranges. Seize on that glint of color as a catalyst for a decorative theme by adding other red accents throughout your kitchen - many KitchenAid small appliances are available in red, including food processors, hand blenders, and of course the classic KitchenAid mixer.

Samsung Bespoke Collection

Of course appliances in finishes like stainless steel and classic white are trusty standbys, but what if you're searching for a fresher look? Samsung Bespoke appliances come in a variety of vibrant colors to brighten up your space, but a Samsung Bespoke fridge is especially unique because it can be customized with individual color panels that can be mixed and matched to create your own preferred look. You can even special-order panels from Samsung that feature your own artwork or photography to bring a truly personal touch.

Whether you want to bring a small decorative highlight to your kitchen, or you're seeking a starting point for the room's entire design scheme, these fantastic options are worth a look!
