Please, I need opinions as I am totally struck with indecision!!!! (This is not a new state of mind for me😫)
Kitchen units will be a dark navy almost charcoal blue. Worktops will be white quartz with a soft grey marble type look. Tap is brushed bronze. So are handles. White ceramic sink. Stainless fridge freezer. Oak parquet floor.

I need to order appliances now but I am almost paralysed with indecision😣.

I know it's up to me to make a decision but what are your thoughts of wise ones? I just want it to look beautiful!

I've been looking at the smeg ones as hey are within my price range and I like the styling and the fact they have 2 ovens and not the 3. But they come in a light cream shade, stainless steel which looks a bit "mirror-y" on the doors or black.

Please advise which in your opinion would be nicest.
Also if you have a dark navy kitchen - what cooker have you gone for?
I'm so excited by the kitchen but the actual decision making I find so overwhelming j am almost consumed by something which is actually a lovely thing eg having a new kitchen.
Thank you xxxx

One thing to mention about the Rangemaster brand is the quality of the knobs/dials is very poor. I have a 110cm stainless steel oven, I can’t think of the name. I had to get all of the knobs/dials replaced after only a couple of years as they are plastic covered in a tinfoils like coating which peeled off every single one of them. Also where I have cleaned around the knobs the setting markings for the jobs have rubbed off. Minor things I know but I expected better, we also got a dishwasher which has broken down a number of times so I definitely wouldn’t recommend that.

Now graceymac that is the thing inwas wondering about! Choosing between the delonghi and the rangemaster, it's the little details that matter. I've only ever had cheap hotpoint type ovens, nothing fancy, but it's the dial writing/temperatures info rubbing off and poor quality of the bloody knobs that do me every single time! Spending what is for me a small fortune I want it to be better quality! Am I deluding myself?

You are best off to view the models before you make a purchase. I had expected that Rangemaster would have had better quality parts, this may be specific to the model type I chose. I find the brushed steel is not easy to keep clean, it shows up every mark (that might be down to my dds!). Do you think you will ever change the colour of your units? We recently had ours repainted and chose a different colour, if you think you might perhaps chose a colour that can work with other paint colours too.

Not cream or black. Can you take a pic of your kitchen, and of appliances that you are considering. Then cut and paste them into your kitchen pics. That was how I choose my colour for window coverings years ago. I would offer to do it for you, but I did it on my old desktop about 15 years ago, and pc & program are no longer in commission.

Thank you so much to everyone! This thread has been really helpful to me!
I finally made a decision and have ordered the Rangemaster professional 90cm in slate.
Once I've made a no-going-back- decision I feel like I've freed my mind of all the anxiety- thank you to all who contributed xxxxx
