This New KitchenAid Design Series Mixer Looks Straight Out of a Winter Fairytale – Meet Luminaire
The new glass bowl makes perfect use of the Artisan Plus integrated light
KitchenAid has never shied away from designing truly beautiful iterations of its famous stand mixers. These stunning Design Series creations combine the hardworking specifications with a new and unique look to turn your countertop workhorse into hardworking kitchen decor.
The new KitchenAid Design Series Luminaire Stand Mixer is the first curated mixer to use the new Artisan Plus mixer as its base, and introduces a stunning fluted glass bowl and Peppercorn Blue finish.
There is no denying that this magical-looking mixer is easily one of the best stand mixers for the winter baking period, adding a touch of whimsy to your countertop ahead of the hosting season.
I tried and fell in love with KitchenAid's new Artisan Plus stand mixer earlier this year. This new take introduces a magical new blue peppercorn finish and a stunning fluted glass bowl, which perfectly catches the light from the mixer head for cozy winter baking at home.
Having personally reviewed and loved the KitchenAid Artisan Plus stand mixer, it's incredibly easy to get excited about this new design. It's almost Cinderella-esque, with a unique textured French-blue finish and a sculptural glass mixing bowl. It brings the magical glamour to your kitchen, without the fear of it turning back into a plain workhorse at the stroke of midnight.
The hardened glass bowl is the true star here. Making the best use of the Artisan Plus' integrated bowl light, the fluted design captures and diffuses the glow, creating a radiant pattern across your countertop. It adds an additional layer to your kitchen lighting ideas that makes a kitchen feel cozier when baking in fall and winter.
The Luminaire launch is the first design series addition in two years, following the wildly successful 2024 Evergreen Stand Mixer, which went viral for its dark walnut wood bowl and deep green body. As the first to use the Artisan Plus as the base, it is also the first in the design series to feature the all-stainless steel attachments, including the double flex-edge beater as standard, as well as the half-fold speed for precision mixing.
It is, in essence, one of the most beautiful kitchen appliances I have seen in recent years, and it makes turning kitchenware into decor a dream. As winter baking and hosting loom on the horizon, there are few other pieces I want as much to help get me through.

The all-in-one bread baking set allows you to easily mix, knead, proof, and bake with the bowl and lid. The durable ceramic mixing bowl resists chipping, cracking, and breaking.
This ice cream mixing bowl creates up to two quarts of ice cream, gelato, or sorbet in under 30 minutes after you have prepped the bowl (freezing it for 24 hours). It fits all KitchenAid Tilt-Head Stand Mixers, except Artisan Mini models, and all KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers, except K5SS, KSM50, KSM500, and KSM450.
These metal attachment holders are ideal if you want a more permanent solution, with a screw mounting option for homeowners who don't need to worry about later removing the hooks or leaving damage behind.
It is unlikely that you use your stand mixer every day, so pushing it to the back of your counter or pantry shelf makes sense. This rolling tray makes your heavy appliance easier to move while limiting the risk of damage to your counters.
Messy appliance cords are one of the most common contributors to visual clutter in a kitchen. These convenient clips help keep them tucked away neatly without the risk of damage.
