LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Every 10 to 20 years, kitchen trends evolve. Whether it is bold motifs of the 1950s, avocado and gold in the 1970s, or stainless steel in the 2000s, the American kitchen is ever-changing. Whirlpool brand is excited to introduce its newest suite collection, sure to be the next trailblazer in the industry.

Debuting at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the Whirlpool® Sunset Bronze Kitchen Suite brings to market a breakthrough, warm-tone, painted stainless steel suite. The new line pushes design standards, giving a nod to the ever popular rose gold trend, achieving a timeless and approachable finish that fits any kitchen aesthetic – new or existing. Inspired by Millennial trends, the new suite from Whirlpool brand delivers a versatile shade that fits with any existing cabinetry, providing an easy upgrade for kitchens without a full remodel.

"The kitchen is fast becoming a new canvas when it comes to home design and decor. More and more, consumers seek ways to customize their spaces with new paint colors, different countertops and backsplashes, mixing and matching cabinetry, and colored small appliances," said Jon Hall, senior brand manager, Whirlpool brand. "Drawing inspiration from these trends, this Whirlpool kitchen suite allows consumers to break conventional norms by customizing their space and expressing creativity in a new and exciting way."

With innovative engineering, this new color is achieved by color blocking painted stainless steel and replicating across the line and categories with extensive testing, complex formulations, and out-of-the-box thinking. The result is a perfect blend of gold, copper and bronze tones painted on stainless steel, ready to withstand the coldest refrigerators and the hottest ranges. The new collection is also fingerprint-resistant, so families can enjoy this new finish that reduces the visibility of pesky smudges.

CES attendees can get a first glimpse of the Sunset Bronze Kitchen Suite and other innovations at Whirlpool brand's booth #73937 in the Family Tech Zone at the Sands Expo Center, January 6-9. The suite will be available to consumers in Fall 2015.
