Paint Chip Kitchens

Pantone Universe Home Appliances Render the Phrase "White Goods" Meaningless

— May 28, 2012 — Art & Design
You might begin your culinary redecoration process with some paint swatches taped up against the walls, but would you expect it to end with the installation of Pantone Universe Home Appliances? Probably not.

There's so much to love about this staged contemporary kitchenette as it suggests to consumers that choosing colors need not be such a difficult game. If you decide to start with a blank white base coat, you can express your style with a fun vibrant range of devices, available in the signature pigments of the beloved paint brand.

A cobalt blue stovetop is complemented by a color block yellow oven. Even the fuchsia range hood and the green gradient refrigerator of the Antonio Lanzillo design are labeled with the Pantone logo and the shade's numerical name. Iconic and captivating.
Trend Themes
1. Colorful Appliances - The trend of incorporating bright, Pantone-inspired colors into home appliances, particularly in the kitchen, presents an opportunity for companies to differentiate their products and offer a unique, personalized experience to consumers.
2. Pantone-inspired Home Decor - The use of Pantone's signature pigments in home decor extends beyond appliances and encourages innovation in furniture design, home textiles, and wall coverings.
3. Color Psychology in Design - The incorporation of specific colors into product design for their psychological effects on consumers is a growing trend that can be seen in the Pantone Universe Home Appliances.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance - The home appliance industry can capitalize on the trend of offering colorful and personalized products to appeal to a younger and design-conscious demographic.
2. Furniture - The furniture industry can incorporate Pantone colors into their designs and offer consumers a coordinated and personalized home decor experience.
3. Interior Design - The interior design industry can use the trend of color psychology to inform their design decisions and offer clients a more intentional and effective design solution.
