In the ever-evolving world of kitchen design, one trend is making a striking impact - black stainless steel appliances. Sleek, bold, and refreshingly versatile, black stainless steel is redefining the modern kitchen, offering a compelling alternative to traditional stainless steel. Fisher & Paykel have introduced a beautiful contemporary range from the statement-making Quad Door Refrigerator to their Wall Ovens and Freestanding Dishwasher, each appliance is crafted to transform your space with effortless elegance.

The Allure of Black Stainless Steel

Black stainless steel appliances offer a sophisticated, modern aesthetic that complements a range of kitchen styles. Whether your space is minimalist, industrial, or warm and rustic, these appliances have an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly or stand out as a focal point - depending on how you style your kitchen.

Unlike traditional stainless steel, which can sometimes feel too clinical or reflective, black stainless steel introduces a richer, softer tone while maintaining that sought-after metallic finish. It’s smudge-resistant, durable, and easy to clean - practical benefits that make it an attractive choice for busy households.

Seamless Integration in Open Plan Kitchens

Open plan kitchens remain a dominant design trend, blurring the lines between cooking, dining, and living areas. Black stainless steel appliances like the Quad Door Refrigerator with its slimline silhouette and recessed handles are ideal for these expansive, integrated spaces, ensuring a practical space-optimising fit for any layout. The matte, low-reflective finish of the black stainless steel doesn’t overpower the room but instead creates a cohesive flow between the kitchen and the surrounding living areas.

A kitchen that works together

Fisher & Paykel’s black stainless steel collection is designed for a cohesive, unified look. Whether upgrading a single appliance or creating a full suite, the consistent finish ensures an effortlessly harmonious aesthetic.

The streamlined look of these appliances pairs beautifully with wooden cabinetry, muted tones, and even bold colour palettes. Imagine a matte black fridge nestled between deep walnut cabinets or a black stainless dishwasher disappearing into a modern grey island - the result is a sophisticated, unified design.

Appliances that adapt to you

The perfect kitchen isn’t complete without appliances that enhance the design while delivering top-notch performance. All too often people choose form over function and whilst an item may look beautiful it is not practical. Fisher & Paykel’s black stainless steel range on the other hand is a standout blend of form and function - these appliances are packed with innovative technology designed to enhance your cooking and cleaning experience.

Keeping your cool

Take for example the Quad Door fridge which offers advanced options like ActiveSmart™ technology, which understands how you use your fridge and adjusts temperature, airflow and humidity inside to help keep food fresher for longer. Or the variable temperature zone which allows you to covert the lower right compartment from a freezer to a fridge at the touch of a button - how cool is that?

Elevate your cooking, intuitively

There are a number of wall ovens to choose from in this black range from combi steam ovens to pyrolytic ovens with multi-function flexibility. All have an intuitive touchscreen interface, with guided cooking capability offering helpful tips as well as full recipes. All this an much more in a sleek stainless black finish and contemporary design.

Designed for modern living

At the heart of this collection is the Series 5 Freestanding dishwasher which showcases perfectly how you can combine sleek aesthetics with practical features and not have to compromise on either. The features and technology are so numerous, we’ve highlighted these below.

Intuitive control at your fingertips
