Shop JennAir RefrigeratorsRecap: About JennAir Core Appliance Finishes
JennAir’s foundation in refrigeration starts with two enduring finishes: stainless steel and panel ready. Both are available across a wide range of their refrigerator lines, providing timeless appeal with high-end construction. Stainless steel remains a go-to for many due to its resilience and compatibility with various kitchen styles. But for those looking to seamlessly integrate their fridge into cabinetry, panel ready designs offer a more flexible and polished appearance.
JennAir panel ready refrigerator and JennAir custom panel refrigerator are supported by the JennAir RISE and JennAir NOIR collections—two flagship series that represent opposite ends of the design spectrum.
The JennAir RISE series evokes a commercial yet elevated aesthetic with industrial lines and traditional elegance. Features like diamond-etched handles, a bold badge, and brushed brass accents create a sense of power and presence.
In contrast, the JennAir NOIR series is distinctly modern. With sculpted handles, lace textures, and reflective black glass, it whispers luxury through minimalism.

How JennAir Makes Refrigeration an Art Form
In 2018, JennAir transformed refrigeration into high design with the launch of their Cuts Collection, which introduced leather-clad custom refrigerator panels designed exclusively for JennAir column refrigerators. This marked a shift from conventional paneling toward texture-rich finishes that feel more like fine furniture than appliances.
The Cuts Collection includes five handcrafted Italian leather finishes, each tailored to offer a striking tactile experience and a unique visual appeal. Available in 18”, 24”, and 30” panel sizes, these JennAir refrigerator door panels are designed to integrate with JennAir column refrigerator models and pair with both the RISE and NOIR series.
| Collection | Details |
|---|---|
| This opalescent azure green finish was inspired by oceanic depths. The JennAir Mystic panel adds an iridescent glow that pairs beautifully with brass and rich wood cabinetry. |
| A classic black with embossed leather grain, JennAir Carbon refrigerator panels are sleek and powerful. The looks supports both RISE and NOIR handle styles for full integration with your kitchen’s theme. |
| A warm golden leather that glows like its namesake spirit. JennAir Cognac refrigerator panels suit rustic themes just as well as glam styles, especially when paired with gold or silver accents. |
| Inspired by shagreen, this pebbly black texture is inked with pewter to catch the light. A JennAir Caviar refrigerator panel feels luxurious and adds depth to minimalist kitchens. |
| For the wild at heart, the JennAir Croc refrigerator panel mimics crocodile skin in a bold burgundy hue. This statement finish is perfect for anyone interested in a leather fridge as the centerpiece of the kitchen. |
With options like these, JennAir makes it easy to explore leather door panels that challenge the status quo and elevate any kitchen aesthetic.
A Peek into the New JennAir Custom Refrigerator Door Panels
Coming soon is the next evolution of JennAir's artistry and bold refrigeration: the Elements Collection. These custom refrigerator panels are a collaboration with Nature Squared, an artisan design house popular for transforming reclaimed organic materials into functional art. This upcoming line offers a uniquely tactile experience, where each panel is a one-of-a-kind expression of nature and design working in harmony.
These new JennAir refrigerator finishes are hand-inlaid with egg and mussel shells. The end result is not only a luxury refrigerator with an artistic finish, but sustainable waste materials are given new life through master craftsmanship. This partnership signals JennAir's move toward sustainability while staying rooted in luxury.
The newest collaboration features 10 new refrigerator finishes from the JennAir Elements Collection:
- Eggshell Snakeskin (Black & Sapphire): An intricate blend of structure and sheen that mimics snakeskin through delicate shellwork.
- Eggshell Crackle (Taupe & Sepia): These designs have a fractured pattern that adds dynamic texture with subtle impact.
- Capiz in Copper: Shimmering with warm metallic tones, this shell refrigerator panel draws from traditional capiz remains used in art and architecture.
- Dark Pen (Carnelian, Black, or Dark): Deep hues with subtle shell inlay evoke ink-drenched paper and bring an understated boldness.
- Mussel Shell (Burgundy & Blue): These options glimmer with the iridescence of the sea, adding oceanic energy to any kitchen design.
The Elements Collection allows for never-before-seen personalization that pairs with either JennAir NOIR or RISE refrigerator series. This synergy enables homeowners to design a JennAir integrated refrigerator that reflects their personality and pushes the boundaries of traditional kitchen decor.
In a market increasingly interested in new refrigerator trends, the Elements Collection blends sustainability, craftsmanship, and originality. It invites users to turn their refrigerators into curated design statements with custom refrigerator door panels unlike anything else on the market.

“I am more than happy with this refrigerator! When I went shopping to replace my old built-in, there were many refrigerators to choose from, but I eliminated all having the so-called "smart" feature (which is of no use to me), and I was left with just a few choices.
