Thoughts on Mixing White/Brass La Cornue with Stainless Steel Fridge

Hi all,

What are your thoughts on mixing a white/brass La Cornue range with a stainless steel fridge?

We’re looking at Thermador fridges and the price difference between panel ready and stainless in pretty significant.

I like the look of panel ready, my husband likes the industrial look of stainless.

I wanted the La Cornue to be the visual focus of the kitchen and I think it competes with a big stainless steel fridge. However since I got the range I wanted I also want to be reasonable with the other appliances 🙂

We’d also have a stainless steel speed oven in the island, and a panel ready Bosch 800 dishwasher. Cabinets will be white oak lower, white painted upper. Taj Mahal countertops, island will be cristallo quartzite with some gray and pink.

Is it worth it to invest in panel ready for a totally seamless look, or could stainless harmonize with the white and gold range?

Thanks so much!
