The Future of Kitchen Design Starts on the Inside

While exterior finishes and appliance silhouettes often get the spotlight in kitchen design, there’s a rising trend that’s bringing the inside of your refrigerator to center stage. Today’s homeowners are prioritizing not just how their appliances look on the outside, but how they function, feel, and inspire from the inside. 

At ZLINE, we’re proud to lead this evolution in design with two standout interior finishes that bring both beauty and purpose into your kitchen: Graphite Gray and Stainless Steel.

Why Interior Finishes Are Taking the Spotlight

As kitchens evolve into highly curated spaces that blend performance and aesthetics, refrigeration interiors are becoming a design decision in their own right. Homeowners and designers alike are seeking interiors that:
  • Enhance visibility and food presentation
  • Offer a clean, polished backdrop to organize ingredients
  • Reflect light and elevate the overall user experience
  • Match the luxurious feeling of built-in cabinetry and appliances
In short, interior materials matter. Not only do they impact longevity and cleanliness, they also influence how the refrigerator feels to use every day.

Graphite Gray: Sophisticated Contrast

ZLINE’s exclusive Graphite Gray interior offers a bold, unexpected alternative to standard white plastic interiors. This finish adds rich contrast to your kitchen, highlighting your food, beverages, and essentials with a designer-inspired backdrop. It’s sleek, modern, and understated—perfect for those who value elegance with an edge. Available in our built-in and column refrigeration collections.
