Kitchens don’t have to be boring. There’s no way to know if that’s really the Falcon company’s motto, but if it’s not, it should be: One look at their line of Falcon kitchens and the beholder falls deeply and sweetly in love. Brilliant colours, intriguingly chunky shapes and beautifully rounded contours make every Falcon kitchen emblematic of William Morris’s two criteria for things to have in the home: they are both useful and beautiful.

To fully appreciate the splendor of a Falcon range kitchen, one must first consider the alternatives. As Henry Ford apparently never said (the famous quote was in fact a misappropriation or mere myth), “you can have any color you want, as long as it’s black.” Gold Silver. That’s the rule that applies to most quality kitchen appliances these days. According to the design powers that be, it’s black, brushed steel that people want. Going by the new look of Falcon range kitchens, people might be really interested in something bright and wonderful, and if people’s response is anything to go by, the smart people who design Falcon kitchens are right.

Instead of the dour blacks and repressive industrial silvers of modern kitchens, kitchens in the Falcon range are available in a glorious color palette: cherry red; electric blue; cream; the kind of black you normally only see on a bird’s wing; and a stunning purple low-rider. These new kitchens from the Falcon range have color combinations that wouldn’t look out of place in a range of custom hot rods, yet they manage to work perfectly with most kitchen décor.

Why? Mainly because the decor of most kitchens is designed to fit in with the black and silver of all the other boring kitchens mentioned above. Falcon kitchens have simply flipped the script on the idea of ​​centerpieces for fairly monochromatic settings: instead of embellishing the black and silver already present on work surfaces, utensils, toasters and pots, the kitchens in the Falcon range offer a touch of color that attracts everything. Like a jewel in a crown. As a result, a kitchen decked out with a Falcon cooker suddenly finds itself open to all sorts of little frills: spoons and ladles no longer have to be aluminum, and saucepans no longer need to be silver.

So cooking is fun again, with sparks of color added to one of the most used rooms in any house: but is it still functional? Okay, yes. Cookers in the Falcon range are as good, if not better, than any of their similarly priced counterparts. Like most, Falcon ranges have a dual fuel on some models; Unlike many, Falcon kitchens also have a solid reputation for durability. The Falcon name has become an integral part of longevity, a fact on its own that makes Falcon kitchens stand out from the crowd. Now they’ve been given a paint job to go with the name: a beautiful coat that says “look at me.”
