Confession time: I’ve recently become infatuated with colourful kettles and toasters. And not just because they’re a phenomenal way to pop some colour into your kitchen. Turns out they also abide by my essential three-layer rule to decorating a room. So it’s kinda a win-win.
The other reason I adore coloured appliances is because they can help to connect rooms. Got an an open planing kitchen, living and dining scenario at your place? I do. By including a coloured kettle or toaster in blue, for example, it allows you to then put some blue on your dining table, like in a vase.
Then you can pop some blue cushions on your sofa. And suddenly, you’ve rolled out an entire accent colour story across all three zones. Now they’re connected and the entire space feels resolved and harmonious. And it looks colourful, of course, which is always nice in an otherwise neutral space.

Colourful Kettles and Toasters for all Budgets
One of the other sublime things about colourful kettles and toasters is that there’s one for every budget. I’m going to show you some of my faves a bit further down in a mood board I created for you.
But I do think it’s worth calling out that you don’t have to sell your first-born child to be able to afford a coloured kettle. Or a vibrant toaster. Or both.
Target, for example, stocks coloured kettles starting at $25. That’s a hard price to beat.
On the other end of the scale, you have something like the Alessi Kettle from David Jones for $309. For that price I’d want it to make me a tea, bring it upstairs, pop it on my bedside and read me the newspaper, but that’s a whole other story.
And then there’s a bunch of coloured kettles and toasters that sit somewhere in between those two prices. Everyone wins.
Do you know Morphy Richards?
When it comes to colourful kettles and toasters, I don’t think you can beat Morphy Richards. The range is massive; almost every trending colour you can think of, they stock.
They don’t sell direct to the public, but you can check out their stockists here and find a kettle or toaster in your fave shade. Harvey Norman sells a lot of their pieces.
I’m utterly obsessed with their accent range. There’s a kettle and toaster set available in black or white, but then the trim comes in rose gold. You can see it above. It is everything and I need it in my home immediately.
Outside of colourful kettles and toasters, Morphy Richards also does slow cookers, soup makers, blenders and more. I think they’re my new great love.

Hi Chris,
Would you be able to help me decorate my small family room hampton style. It’s an open space area with a sleek hampton kitchen in thw open area. Its an addition my husband and I built on top of the ranch home we use to live in for 27 years and now my son and his family live downstairs and im 65 now and have lost my confidence in making decisions and styling.
Any help you can give or photos of couches, round coffee table, console , table lamps, end tables, etc would be appreciated.
We lost our daughter a few years ago and since than my focus isnt what it use to be.
Thanking you in advance for your time to even read my email.
Kind regards,
Ellie Marrero
Hi Ellie,
Thanks for reaching out. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’d recommend joining my Facebook decorating gorup. It’s a good place for people to swap and share ideas and it’s easy for me to answer decorating questions there.
