The Prettiest Colored Kitchen Appliances for Fall (That You’ll Love All Year)

Colored kitchen appliances are having a very good fall.

Espresso machines in creamy almond. Stand mixers in deep chocolate brown. Waffle makers in a moody fig that sits somewhere between burgundy and plum. Olive green kettles and toasters that make brushed stainless look a little tired.

Instead of adding another ceramic pumpkin to the counter, the prettiest kitchen updates this season are things you’ll actually use.

And unlike most fall kitchen decor, none of them have to disappear into a storage bin in November.

That’s the part I like most. Chocolate, almond, fig and olive feel especially right when the weather cools down, but they aren’t really seasonal colors.

They’re rich, earthy neutrals that can live in your kitchen all year.

And the best part is that each of these colors is a full collection, not a one-off. Pick the color you love, and you can build a matching counter around it: the mixer, the multi-cooker, the espresso machine, the toaster and the kettle, all in the same finish.

You don’t need to replace anything that works. But if a countertop appliance is on its way out, or you’re tired of looking at an ugly one every morning, these are the prettiest colored kitchen appliances for fall, grouped by color so you can pick one palette and stick with it.

Chocolate Brown Kitchen Appliances

Brown is interesting again.

Not the dated brown appliances you might remember from decades ago. The new version is deep, matte and almost espresso-colored, especially when it’s paired with brass or gold-toned details.

It’s also one of the easiest ways to bring fall into a kitchen without making the room look decorated for fall.

Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Chocolate Collection

Beautiful by Drew Barrymore has built its name on making everyday countertop appliances look more expensive than they are, and the Chocolate finish might be its best color yet. Deep brown with gold-toned details looks especially good against warm white, cream, wood and stone.

More importantly, this isn’t one appliance in a novelty color. You can carry the finish across several things you’ll use every week.

The Beautiful 5.3-Quart Stand Mixer in Chocolate has a stainless-steel bowl, 12 speeds and a tilt-head design, and it comes in under $100. It’s the one to get if fall means baking: mini pumpkin bread loaves for gifting, a double batch of cookies, anything you’d rather not mix by hand.

For something you’ll probably use even more often, the Beautiful 10-in-1 6-Quart Multi-Cooker in Chocolate replaces a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer and Dutch oven with one pot. A good multi-cooker is one of the most useful things you can own if you want to eat well without spending your evenings cooking, which is the whole reason an Instant Pot is worth having.

Start with a batch of Instant Pot shredded chicken and you have protein for the week, or let it do the work on slow cooker sesame ginger beef while you do literally anything else.

To round out the set, add the Beautiful 6-Quart Touchscreen Air Fryer in Chocolate, which has room to crisp vegetables and protein for more than one person and is the fastest way to reheat Costco egg bites.

If counter space is tight, the Beautiful 3-Quart Touchscreen Air Fryer in Chocolate gives you the same finish in a smaller footprint.

Why it works for fall: Chocolate gives you the cozy feeling without screaming fall decor. Come January, it’s still a beautiful brown appliance.

Almond And Cream Kitchen Appliances

If chocolate is the moodiest color in this group, almond is the easiest to live with.

Cream colored kitchen appliances work especially well if you like a lighter kitchen but don’t want stark white. They’re warmer, softer and quieter, and they pair beautifully with wood, brass and natural stone.

Breville Almond Nougat

Breville may have created one of the prettiest appliance colors out there with Almond Nougat. The brand describes it as “the creamy shade of nougat with roasted almonds in a dusted icing finish,” which is exactly what it looks like.

It also isn’t limited to one or two products. Almond Nougat runs across Breville’s espresso machines, countertop ovens, toasters, kettles and more, which matters if you want the appliances sitting together on your counter to look like they belong together.

The Breville Barista Touch Impress in Almond Nougat is the one to look at. It’s a splurge, but it’s the kind of appliance that earns a permanent spot on the counter: a built-in grinder, a touchscreen, assisted tamping and automatic milk texturing, so you get a good latte without needing barista skills. In a creamy almond finish, it looks less like equipment and more like part of the kitchen.

If you love the color but not the price tag, there are easier ways into an Almond Nougat coffee station. The Breville Barista Express Impress in Almond Nougat still has a built-in grinder and assisted tamping at a much lower price. The Breville Bambino Plus in Almond Nougat is the compact option that froths milk for you. Pair it with the Smart Grinder Pro in Almond Nougat and the whole setup matches.

Not an espresso person? The Breville Luxe Brewer in Almond Nougat is a glass drip coffee maker that looks far better on the counter than the one you’ve had since college.

And if fresh juice is part of your routine, the Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL in Almond Nougat makes quick work of a beginner green juice or a First Watch morning meditation juice copycat.

For the cooking side of the kitchen, the Breville Paradice 9-Cup Food Processor in Almond Nougat dices, slices and shreds, which takes care of most of the chopping that makes weeknight cooking feel like a chore. And if you drink a lot of sparkling water, the Breville InFizz Fusion in Almond Nougat is a much prettier way to stop buying cans.

You don’t have to buy it all at once. Start with the espresso machine, then add the matching kettle, toaster or juicer as your old ones wear out. Because Almond Nougat runs across so much of Breville’s lineup, the whole counter can end up in one soft, creamy finish over time.

Why it works for fall: It’s the appliance version of an oatmeal sweater. Warm enough for October, neutral enough for February.

Fig, Plum, And Burgundy Kitchen Appliances

Fig is the color that sent me down this rabbit hole.

It’s gorgeous: somewhere between burgundy, plum and brown. Red appliances can be very red. Pink appliances can skew sweet or retro. Fig has some of the personality of both, but it reads richer and more grown-up.

Bella Fig

bella’s Fig collection is an Amazon exclusive, and it’s an affordable way to get a rich, grown-up color on your counter. It covers the appliances most kitchens actually use: a stand mixer, an espresso maker, a multi-cooker, a waffle maker and a coffee maker.

The bella STIR 5.3-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Fig is the statement piece if you bake. It has 12 speeds and a stainless-steel bowl, and it’s exactly what you want on the counter when mini pumpkin bread loaves season starts.

For coffee, the bella JOLT 20-Bar Slim Espresso Maker in Fig has a steam wand and a slim footprint, so it fits even on a crowded counter. Top your latte with homemade cold foam and you’ll skip the drive-thru. If drip is more your speed, the bella BREW 14-Cup Multi-Brew Coffee Maker in Fig releases October 15.

The bella Multi 10-in-1 7-Quart MultiCooker in Fig replaces a slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker and Dutch oven, and its ceramic nonstick coating is made without PFAS, PTFE or PFOA. It’s big enough for a whole chicken or a big pot of fall soup like Panera autumn squash soup.

And the bella waffle maker in fig is the low-commitment way in, and a very good excuse to make low-sugar blueberry waffles on a slow Saturday.

Why it works for fall: Fig gives you the reds and purples of fall without looking like you bought an appliance specifically for September through November.

Olive Green Kitchen Appliances

If one color here is going to outlast every trend on this list, it’s olive.

Earthy green has basically become a neutral in interiors, and kitchen design is leaning into olive, moss and other earthy greens alongside brown, burgundy and warmer neutrals this season. It works with almost everything fall already gives you (wood, cream, rust, brown) and it doesn’t stop working when the season changes.

Breville Olive Tapenade

Breville calls its version Olive Tapenade, “an earthy dark green hue of Mediterranean olives with a lustrous matte finish.” Like Almond Nougat, it’s a full collection. Olive Tapenade shows up on Breville’s toasters, kettles, espresso machines and more, so you can start with one piece and build out a matching olive counter over time.

The Breville Luxe Toast Select in Olive Tapenade is a good example of why this trend works. A toaster lives on the counter no matter what, so it might as well be pretty. This one has Breville’s Lift & Look and A Bit More buttons, so you can check your toast without canceling the cycle and add a few seconds when it’s not quite there. It’s a small, practical way to bring olive into the kitchen, and a very good reason to keep easy avocado toast in your fall breakfast rotation while you’re adjusting your morning routine for fall.

Coffee is covered, too. The Breville Bambino Plus in Olive Tapenade is compact enough to leave out as part of the kitchen, and it froths milk automatically, so a latte at home takes about as long as a pod coffee. On the days you still want iced, top a shot with homemade cold foam.

And the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer in Olive Tapenade finishes the set. It earns the counter space it takes up, with 11 cooking functions, including air frying, in one appliance.

Why it works for fall: Olive pairs with everything the season brings in, and it still looks right in April.

How To Add Colored Appliances Without Making Your Kitchen Look Chaotic

The prettiest way to do colored kitchen appliances is to pick one color and commit to it.

A green toaster beside an almond espresso machine beside a red blender is how a kitchen starts to look chaotic. One color repeated across the counter looks intentional, even calm. It reads like a finish you chose, not a collection of gadgets.

That’s why it matters that each of these colors is a full collection. Beautiful’s Chocolate carries from the stand mixer to the multi-cooker. Breville’s Almond Nougat and Olive Tapenade each run across its espresso machines, toasters, kettles and countertop ovens. Choose the color first, then fill in the appliances.

You also don’t have to replace perfectly good appliances because a prettier version exists. If your toaster works, keep your toaster. Build the set as things wear out.

But when something needs replacing, add one question to “Does it work well?”

Will I still want to look at this every day?

Counter space is valuable. If an appliance is going to permanently take up part of it, it’s fair to want it to contribute something visually, too. And the appliances you like looking at are the ones you actually use, which is half the battle if you’re trying to eat healthy when you hate cooking.

FAQs

Are colored kitchen appliances just a trend?

Some shades will date faster than others. Earthy colors like chocolate, almond, cream and olive behave more like neutrals than trend colors, so they tend to hold up. Brighter or more saturated colors are better saved for smaller, less expensive appliances you won’t mind replacing.

What color kitchen appliances go with wood cabinets?

Almond, cream and olive are the easiest matches for wood cabinets because they share the same warm undertones. Chocolate brown works too, especially with lighter woods, where it has enough contrast to stand out.

What’s the easiest way to try colored kitchen appliances?

Start small. A kettle, toaster or waffle maker gives you the color without a big purchase or a big commitment. If you still love it a few months in, carry the same color onto something larger.

Does Breville make appliances in colors other than stainless steel?

Yes. Breville offers a range of finishes beyond brushed stainless, including Almond Nougat, Olive Tapenade, Damson Blue and Red Velvet Cake, across espresso machines, countertop ovens, toasters, kettles and more. Availability varies by product, so check the specific appliance you want.

Fall Kitchen Decor You Don’t Have To Pack Away

That’s ultimately why I like this trend more than buying a pile of explicitly seasonal kitchen accessories.

I love fall. I do not love finding somewhere to store 14 decorative pumpkins for the other nine months of the year. It’s the same reason I fell for my candle warmer lamp: the pretty thing that also does a job is the one that stays out.

A chocolate stand mixer gives you the warmth. An almond espresso machine gives you the creamy neutral. Fig adds that wine-colored accent, and olive brings in the earthy green.

They’re the same colors we’re drawn to in fall kitchen decor, just attached to things that have an actual job.

And when December rolls around, you don’t have to put a single one of them in a plastic tote.
