Purple kettle and toaster

Purple kettle and toaster

If you love purple, you’ll love some of the autumn 2010 interiors products available. We’re seeing gorgeous plums and deep berry shades in all sorts of products, from cushions and soft furnishings to crockery and kitchen appliances.

Interiror influences and fashion off go hand-in-hand, so it’s not surprising that some of the high street shops are full of fashion in coordinating purple and berry colours.

This fab deep purple toaster and kettle set is from Next, where it’s priced at £40.  If you can’t get enough of purple in your home, then Next have a fab range of other funky purple items, including a microwave, a purple bin, purple canister set and a plum bread bin.

Avalon five burner barbecue kitchen sale item

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Barbecue in style

Barbecue in style

This has got to be one of the most comprehensive barbecues we’ve seen for a while. If you’re looking to barbecue in style, then this Landmann five burner BBQ kitchen can ensure you do just that.

This comprehensive piece of cooking equipment comes with five stainless steel burners, a side burner, an infrared back burner, four chrome enamalled cooking grids and an electronic rotisserie. There’s a handy warming rack to keep food warm once its cooked and there are useful cabinets to store all your barbecue cooking equipment.

The barbecue kitchen is on castors, so it can be easily moved around outside on your patio or deck, but they have a locking feature, so it can be securely positioned for cooking.

As you’d expect, a barbecue of this size does come at a price, but that price is wonderfully reduced in the Debenhams sale. The Landmann Avalon BBQ kitchen was £2,289, but is now down to £1,439.10. It could be a great investment for die hard barbecue and outdoor dining fans.

Hotpoint larder fridge with rapid delivery from Co-op

Hotpoint tall larder fridge

Hotpoint tall larder fridge

Essential kitchen electrical appliances have a tendency to conk out and fail when you least expect it. If you’ve ever found yourself having to buy a new cooker, fridge, freezer or washing machine at short notice, you’ll know only too well what a pain it can be to get a new appliance delivered quickly.

Having been through this very scenario, we were pleased to discover that the Co-op’s electrical store runs a very good, free rapid delivery service on many of its kitchen appliances. They guarantee that 98% of all orders are delivered in only two days – quicker than some of the other major electrical retailers. You can pick your own delivery date and they send you a text or email the day before to let you know which three hour delivery slot your item will arrive in, which means you don’t have to have a whole day off work to hang around and wait for it to arrive. They can take away old appliances too and dispose of them in an eco-friendly manner.

The Co-op online electrical store provides full details about which appliances are included in the rapid delivery scheme, so you know from the outset whether it’s likely to be available at short notice. Many items, such as this tall white larder Hotpoint fridge, have good discount savings on the usual prices (the fridge has £145.95 off at the moment) and their online comparison tool allows you to easily weigh up the pros and cons of each option.

It’s a useful online service to keep in mind for those times when you suddenly need a new electrical appliance and can’t wait for ages for other companies to get the product out to you.

Prestige art deco toaster

Art deco hoops design

Art deco hoops design

Meyer Prestige have gone for the art deco look with their new range of kitchen electrical gadgets.

The two slice toaster, with its variable size slots for different bread items (e.g. toast, bagels or crumpets), has the attractive art deco inspired hoops design on the side. It’s subtle enough not to be too art deco like, but does help jazz up an item that could otherwise be a bit boring!

Find the toaster at Amazon for £44.99.

To help celebrate the 300th anniversary of casting iron at its Coalbrookedale foundry in Shropshire, and as part of the AGA-Rangemaster Group’s Great British Cooker Campaign, four celebrity designers were asked to create their own unique cooker designs. Together, they certainly liven up the look of these cooking appliances.

Emma Bridgewater stamped her mark on an AGA in her typical style, with a cream background and multicoloured polka dots.

Eco designer, Oliver Heath, created a patchwork design on a Rayburn.

Celebrity chef, Nick Nairn, unleashed his Scottish roots on Falcon cooker, creating a tartan materpiece.

And Natasha Hamilton, of Atomic Kitten, adorned a Rangemaster cooker with a contemporary bold cupcake design.

You can find out more about why each celebrity designer chose their particular designs, and get information about each model, over at Great British Cookers.

Which is your favourite?
