Stainless steel dishwasher with white fridge and stove???

I need some perspective here! I just spent a year looking for a dishwasher when my 20 year old dishwasher failed. My other 10 year old appliances are white and I have an all white kitchen. I watch a LOT of HGTV and I felt that stainless was always the key to a home sale...so, my goal eventually is to switch over. So, I bought a stainless dishwasher, now that I have it back at the house, and I look at everything together, I think it might not have been the best choice? Thoughts?

    You could add other stainless-look accents to your kitchen to pull the look together. New cabinet hardware in brushed nickel, a new toaster or canisters that match the finish of the dishwasher.

    Even a light fixture for the ceiling, or a new set of utensils that hang on a stainless rod on the wall.

    not a big deal. I have an all white kitchen too (cabinets, stove, and dishwasher white) and needed a new fridge. I bought one in ss and it doesnt look bad with the white appliances. I do plan on replacing the rest with ss eventually, just dont have the $$ to do them all at once.

    Are you planning on selling your house in the next 1-3 years? If not, I wouldn't worry too much about resale. You don't know what will be popular in 5 years. White might make a comeback.

    I prefer when all the appliances match personally. If you don't see yourself replacing the stove and fridge anytime soon, I would go for white.

    Consumer Reports recommends no major appliance over 5 yrs old is worth fixing, so you may be looking at SS sooner than you think. That said I have found newer SS kitchens for sale on Craigslist.

    I don't think the mix of white and SS is a big deal.

    i do no longer think of you will have the skill to lead them to appear as if chrome steel, yet you've gotten the skill to get some greater matching cabinet doorways and make your home equipment seem "equipped in".
