KitchenAid has announced Honey as its 2021 colour of the year, noting that warm and rich hues will dominate homes this year – citing the need for warmth and the need for a sense of unity and positivity the inspiration for the new colourway.

This new colourway has been unveiled on two of the brand’s signature appliances – its iconic Artisan Stand Mixer, as well as the K400 Blender.

Its products are available at stores like Tangs, Takashimaya, Harvey Norman, Best Denki and platforms like Lazada.

Le Creuset’s latest L’Amour Collection, a Valentine’s Day special, has stoneware that come with sweet love-inspired accents, from patterned pots to cocottes with heart-shaped knobs.

Plus, these are so cute, we’d leave them on an open shelf as display pieces, instead of hiding them away in the cupboard.

Exclusively available at Takashimaya.

Local brand Table Matters has a deluge of colourful patterned crockery and tableware, and this baking dish from its Grover Bear collection will bring cheer to any counter or dining table.

Pretty hues aside, this versatile ceramic design comes with three stacked layers, including a bamboo steamer, so you can whip up dinner in double-quick time.

Delonghi’s Icona Vintage kettle comes in a sleek high-gloss body and chrome details, marrying retro design with chic modernity. Available in an assortment of colours, the vintage muted green hue and pastel blue gets our nod of approval for bringing vintage charm to a kitchen.

The cordless kettle also comes with a detachable swivel base and anti-scale filter.

When it comes to adding pops of colour, you can always count on Italian brand Smeg, best known for its retro-style fridges and appliances. And its collab with luxury house Dolce and Gabbana has borne pieces that are certain to grab attention; each is dressed with images by Sicilian artists, from lemons and the Trinacria symbol to cart wheels, medieval knights, and battle scenes.

A silver or black exterior is the default colour for ovens. Not this digital air oven by Mayer, which comes in a cheery red hue.

While small in size, this air oven is big on functionality, too, with 16 preset functions, a touch sensor control panel, rotisserie with a handle, and automatic cut-off switch.

Go matchy-matchy with this bundle set comprising an electric toaster and kettle by Morphy Richard, both in a sleek bronze hue – perfect for lending a contemporary feel.
