Life In Colour
We all love the idea of a stunning range cooker becoming the centrepiece of our kitchen, circulating those delicious aromas around the home.
Whether it be a traditional style or a more modern take, there are so many colour options to choose from. You can match your cooker perfectly to your brand-new kitchen blinds or maybe you want a bold standout colour that will complement the rest of your appliances.
Lacanche have just added two new colours to their extensive collection, Chantilly and Black Gloss. These brand-new finishes increase the choice of colours to 31 standard colours, including Stainless Steel, and alongside their bespoke colour service (more about this later in the blog).
These are just two shades out of the hundreds we offer here at Rangecookers.co.uk. To celebrate their launch, we have taken a look through some of our most recent orders to see just which colours you, our customers, have been adding to your homes…
Very fitting with the launch of Chantilly, Cream has been the most ordered colour recently. We have a range of light, barely there cream shades all the way to some darker, almost custard cream shades so even with the simplest of colours there are plenty to choose from.
This versatile colour is said to symbolise humility, sophistication and elegance, plus reliability and durability (which just happen to be two very important factors when purchasing a range cooker!).

Red may seem a colour that is bold, striking and not quite to everybody’s taste, but it continues to be a consistent purchase here at Rangecookers. We offer shades from a bright, energetic red to a darker, more burgundy option.
Red has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger and courage but recent modern surveys show that red is now more commonly seen as a representation of activity, passion, love and joy.

The Rangemaster Classic collection has brought a much sought-after traditional style to many kitchens around the UK.
This 90cm model is a very popular and enduring style, offering a choice of colour and trim finishes that allow you to achieve exactly the look you want and need.

There are so many different shades of blue, from the deeper navy blue’s to the lighter baby blues you can create a cooker that will suit a variety of kitchen designs.
The colour blue represents both the sea and the sky, but it is often associated with open spaces, freedom, imagination and inspiration. It also represents trust and loyalty, two things which we hope to find for you when purchasing your range cooker.
Mercury range cookers represent the performance and high-quality end of AGA Rangemaster’s product spectrum and the striking Indigo shade fits in perfectly with this image.
Colour has always been a strong part of Mercury’s appeal, and the carefully chosen pigments used in their resilient vitreous enamel contribute much to the overall impression of quality and good taste.
Large, powerful ovens with heavy stainless telescopic shelves and self-clean catalytic linings make up this impressive model. Along with subtle branding details and general attention to detail, these features all mark the Mercury range out as something special.

Stoves Richmond D1000DF in Thunder Blue
Full of features and oozing elegance and desirability, the Stoves Richmond is the perfect choice for both modern and traditional kitchen environments. Its persona borrows enough traditional flavour to give a very warm and homely feel, but Stoves have cleverly balanced this with crisp, contemporary details.
Part of the Stoves Colour Boutique range, Thunder Blue is a timeless shade that can be matched with the lightest of walls to the darkest of worktops.
On top of this cooker is a powerful seven burner hob, providing even heat over a large area and is ideal for high-speed cooking with any large pans. Heavy cast iron pan supports sit on a single piece hotplate to ensure robust, reliable service for years to come.
A handy feature within the ovens of this cooker is Stoves’ exclusive Steam and Infuse Oven accessory. This provides an alternative healthy, flavourful way to cook in either the main or secondary oven.
Green can often represent new beginnings and growth. It can be a very freshening and relaxing colour to have within a kitchen, bringing the feel of nature and the outside, inside.
Green is one of the most popular autumnal colours and can often be matched with more colours than you would expect. A dark green may seem like a bad idea with us already losing the daylight early within winter, but paired with light walls and cabinets brings the colour to life.

The colour white is associated with cleanliness, simplicity and minimalism. It is still a powerful colour and is considered to be the colour of perfection.
