Another Tuesday, another retail opportunity!
Lots of soon-to-be-weds choose to shirk the traditional gift list, instead opting for money or ‘experience’ gifts like honeymoon registries, but here at Brides Up North we reckon that they might be missing a trick. We’re (almost) as big fans of interior styling as we are of bridal styling, and we’d kill for another chance to make a lifestyle wishlist. Ladies, use it wisely.
Kitchen appliances have come a long way over the years. Initially practicality reined over style but today most people wouldn’t pick a toaster because it can fit four slices of bread in it instead of two, but because it fits in with, or even enhances, their home interior.
Essentially worktops double up as display tops. So there’s no more hiding the blender and weighing scales in the kitchen cupboards – they must be picked to impress and showcased for all to see. But with gorgeous gadgets often comes a large price tag making them ideal luxury items to pop on the wedding gift list.
I recommend looking-up online retailer Amara if you decide to request
classy kitchenware
from your guests. Established in 2005 the flourishing business now houses over 200 of the world’s most luxurious home fashion brands including the likes of Ralph Lauren Home, Missoni Home and Calvin Klein.
Here a toaster is not just a toaster – it’s a style statement. Its electrical ranges include firm favourites that have the ability to keep up with current trends, such as Kenwood, Bosch and Delonghi, as well as cool under- the-radar brands like Bugatti.
The Italian homeware designer prides itself on producing kitchen accessories and appliances that are highly innovative and have an original and sophisticated design. Its collections can kit couples out with sleek kettles, toasters, weighing scales, blenders, juicers and coffee machines.
Striking in both style and structure, these eye-catching appliances are worthy of a glass display case, never mind a worktop. Just one or two Bugatti items would instantly inject excitement and character into culinary spaces.
Couples could request colours to contrast with their kitchen décor, or instead pick options to match existing accents. Bold brights include lilac, lime green, orange and red, while softer hue offerings come in the form of classic cream, black and white.
All the products are made from super shiny materials that could catch more than a magpie’s attention, including chrome and stainless steel, complete with flawless lacquered surfaces for a highly polished finish.
For me the most attention grabbing designs within the collection have to be the Volvo Toaster and Diva Coffee Machine – breakfast has never been so stylish!
