Where to buy dishwasher panels?

[bellalaundry]

I have an older Miele dishwasher that I bought 2nd hand. It has a white wooden front on it, but it does not match my cabinets. Where does one find different panels? My golden oak cabinets are from the mid eighties, so I'm not sure I can find an exact match.

Any suggestions?

Think outside the box!

why not create your own.......I have several times for different looks.....Lowes/HomoDepot sells galvanized panels, which can be cut to size.....and either paint, or cover with something like wallpaper, or textured black or chrome contact paper.......

even a diamond plate panel....just a little harder to cut, but can be done.....

they also sell stainless steel.......for a cheaper version, there stainless "look" tile board.....you really can't tell the difference, except its not magnetic!...

for a fancy look.....use wide and thin pin striping for cars....

depending on your door size....get whimsy....a game board....like monopoly!....

chalkboard/whiteboard for the kids to doodle on!.....granted the dishwasher is below the counter.....but works for the DOG to leave you a shopping list!....BUY BONES!.......lol

You're right Martin, to think outside the box.
But another idea would be to take the wood front panel off and sand it, restain it to as close as possible to the cabinet color and put a protective finish on it so it blends seemlessly with the rest of the cabinets. I did it before and only I knew it was not original.
