Black Appliances

Much of your time in the laundry is spent pre-treating stubborn black stains on your snow-white fabrics. Let black have a more positive association in this part of your home with a black washing machine. Choose the finish that suits your surrounds, from Gorenje’s black ceramic glass to Samsung’s black stainless steel. There are both top- and front-load models available, and Gorenje even has a black dryer you can stack on top of their washer.

A black refrigerator may just be the cool change your kitchen needs. From formidable French door models to retro rounded forms, we’ve got a wide variety of solutions to keep your produce fresh and frigid. If you really want to turn heads, you can integrate a black fridge into black cabinetry. A black fridge is also a great way to set off a kitchen that’s been designed with a black island. Key players in this market include Smeg and LG.

There was a time when people shopped for kettles and toasters considering little beyond their functionality. Within the past five years, these humble benchtop heroes have gradually evolved into personality pieces. If a brand introduces a black kettle, they almost always have a black toaster to complement it. Whether you’re partial to curved or straight lines, we have a kettle or toaster—or breakfast pack—for you. De’Longhi and Morphy Richards are renowned for their striking designs in this category.

Not everyone takes their coffee black, but everyone has the potential to appreciate black coffee machines. You’ll find the colour black across all three categories of espresso machine— automatic, manual, and capsule—so it doesn’t matter whether you’re an automatic fanatic or a hands-on hero. Marvel at the matte black of De’Longhi’s semi-automatic Magnifica machine, or revel in the retro with Smeg’s 50s-inspired manual espresso machine, finished in a shiny black. Capture people’s attention by complementing a black coffee machine with a black toaster, kettle, or blender.

While charring food inside your oven is hardly ever a desired result, a black oven exterior will add a touch of sophistication to your kitchen. The colour black has high representation in the oven market, from 60cm fan-forced models, right through to pyrolytic and combi-steam options. Whether you’re looking to install an oven beneath your cooktop, or you’re going for a flush finish with your dark cabinetry, we’ve got ovens to accentuate any space. Fisher & Paykel offers black ovens to meet any requirement, while V-Zug dominates the premium market. 

Black cooktops are no longer the new kids on the block. In fact, we have more cooktops in black than in any other finish colour. Despite this, the clean, minimalist lines of black cooktops render them timeless in any kitchen. From classic electric models in black ceramic, to state-of-the-art induction cooktops, our range will ensure that no one goes hungry. Apart from the obvious pairing of a cooktop and oven, it’s also worth thinking about the way your cooktop complements your benchtop and kitchen walls. If you’re after a black cooktop with highly versatile cooking zones, some brands to consider are Bosch, Smeg, and Fisher & Paykel.

Because a dishwasher generally nestles under a bench, choosing a black one is not going to make or break your kitchen the way a more exposed appliance would. Despite this, there are multiple ways you can get people to take note of your black dishwasher. A matte or shiny black dishwasher can coolly complement a neighbouring underbench oven. It can also slot in nicely if your kitchen island is fully or partially black. Smeg is noted for offering two black dishwashers—one with straight, modern lines, and one that harks back to the 1950s. 

Of all the appliances in your kitchen, your rangehood may stand as the unsung hero. It’s the one cooking appliance that does none of the cooking, but it makes sure your kitchen is a space where you want to cook. An under-mount model will seamlessly blend into black cabinetry but, if you want to get people talking, a black canopy rangehood above a black stove will make it seem like two appliances are “popping” from your wall. There are even black downdraft models that are installed behind your cooktop and only rise when required. If you’re looking for a black rangehood, brands to consider are Smeg, Falcon, and V-Zug. 

Moving beyond your kitchen and laundry, black is beginning to make its presence felt in living rooms. A black split-system air conditioner can sit aloft as a companion piece to your couches, television, or fireplace. Mitsubishi’s MSZ-EF range of split-systems is available in an elegant, shiny black. Economical in shape, Mitsubishi has traded an open front grille for a more streamlined design. Thanks to this model’s Silent Mode, you can opt for bedroom installation and still get a good night’s sleep. 

The colour and construction of your kitchen benchtop becomes highly relevant when shopping for a new sink or tap, but looking for a black sink doesn’t have to be draining. Whether you’re after a traditional lipped look, or you’re going for a barely-there flush mount finish, we’ve got the goods to help your dark dreams materialise. Abey’s Schock sinks are made from a sturdy quartz composite, designed to repel heat and dirt. With no pre-cut tap holes, you have the flexibility of installing your tap on either side. Black taps come in all shapes and sizes, from right-angled to gooseneck. Armando Vicario’s black Tink model (TINKD-B) is a swanky solution for complementing your sink. Made in Italy, its pin lever, pull-out head, and chrome accents will make you keener than ever to wash by hand.
