Many of us have a special love for black: women are crazy about the legendary “little black dress”, and men, perhaps, will not refuse a daring black SUV. If you equip housing in black style, then you need appropriate household appliances, and in addition to a refrigerator or a shower stall, there is also a black washing machine on the wish list of many users. What are the features of such an SMA, what brand and model to choose and other details – in the review.
In what interior is such a machine appropriate?
Household appliances in dark shades will look perfect in almost any interior, given some features:
- Minimalism – An excellent choice for such a technique. Usually this style involves contrasts, the most popular of which is black and white. The color of the raven body will perfectly fit into a kitchen or bathroom with snow-white walls. The main condition is conciseness in the design of the machine.
- Classic – here you are free to choose solutions, but remember that there should be few dark accents. No need to force the entire room with appliances of the same shade.
- High tech – in this direction, special emphasis is placed on materials and conciseness of the situation. An ultra-modern washing machine or dishwasher will perfectly complement a room decorated in this style. For a successful tandem, along with appliances, choose a sink or countertop in the same color scheme.
- Modern — modern interiors are characterized by the absence of stamps and standard techniques. It is ideal to complement black electrical appliances with a glossy white stretch ceiling or sparkling tiles.
Remember that combinations of black with bright shades should be avoided, but the choice in favor of metal will be very advantageous: chrome facades, a sink or a faucet will look spectacular.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of such household appliances are many, namely:
- The first, main and indisputable advantage – elegance. The white cases of cars and refrigerators cannot bring this subtle feature into the interior. The black machine will enrich the bath or kitchen, do not hesitate.
- Originality – basically all SMAs are white, silver cases are more common, less often – red, orange or black. And what is rare is always valuable and exclusive.
- Not small selection. Finding a turquoise or raspberry typewriter is almost impossible, while almost every respected brand has a Black line. Some firms offer entire sets of equipment in one color and style. It will be difficult to find only a vertical SMA, there are already few of them on sale – vertical loading, despite all its advantages, is now out of fashion.
Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages (and where are they not?), but they are few:
- Question cleanliness and care. Such surfaces require special attention of the user. Fingerprints, dust, drops – all this instantly makes itself felt. Therefore, if you do not want to scrub the car from splashes and brush off dust all day long, look at the matte model – it is easier to keep it clean, unlike glossy options.
On a note! Many brands today offer appliances with a special coating that resists the smudgeiness of even glossy panels, so check this point when buying.
- Visual reduction of space. This technique, like black clothes, “slims”. If you have at your disposal a small kitchen up to 10 square meters or a modest bathroom, you will have to do your best so that the black does not “eat” half of the space.
- Dark elements require more lighting. A light kitchen set, for example, does not need such lighting, both dark and with appliances – in order for them to look bright and clear, additional light is needed.
Best offers from manufacturers
Let’s go through the most successful and popular models from well-known brands and only gaining popularity. Unfortunately, the review did not include models with drying, because there are no brands on the market today, although this remains a mystery – why?
