Has preparing breakfast become a dull and dreary chore? Is your kitchen looking deflated like a badly fried egg? Sometimes, all it takes is a sprinkle of colour and a dash of style to brighten up your morning routine. And the easiest way to introduce colour to your kitchen is with new toasters and kettles.
Whether you prefer the elegant look of a Scandi-inspired kettle, the modern sheen of a metallic coloured toaster, or the muted tone of pastel kitchen appliances, Harvey Norman’s range of stylish toasters and kettles are available in an array of colours so you can style your kitchen to your taste.
Check out a few of our favourite picks and bring the fun and flair back into breakfast time.
1. Trending: Metallics
Metallic painted finishes are trending in the world of small kitchen appliances, so consider a matching kettle and toaster constructed from stainless steel in a retro, classic or modern colour. Choose neutral shades to complement timber cabinetry, or opt for bolder colours to give your kitchen an eye-catching edge.
Breville ‘The Smart’ Collection
Whether you have an all-white ultra-modern kitchen or a classic wooden look, ‘The Smart’ collection by Breville will complement your décor with its soft edges, polished accents and crisp metallic finish. Take home the toaster or kettle in Ice or Charcoal to create a smooth contrast against glossy white cabinetry and marble benchtops, or add a hint of brightness against timber cupboards and polished steel appliances with the Emerald or Coffee model.
‘The Smart’ Kettle features 5 pre-programmed settings – Green Tea, White Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea and Coffee – so you can enjoy the most delicate flavours at their ideal temperature. And if you need to separate from your cuppa for a little while, there’s even a 20-minute keep warm function!
Ever wondered what it would be like to achieve the perfect toast? ‘The Smart’ Toaster offers three settings – ‘Fruit Bread’, ‘Lift & Look’ and ‘A Bit More’ – to take the guesswork out of toasting for a job well done, every time.
Sunbeam ‘Gallerie’ Collection
Fancy a taste of modern English style? Designed in the UK, the Sunbeam ‘Gallerie’ collection flaunts a satin metallic finish in three exquisite shades exclusive to Harvey Norman – Sunset, Brass and Green Forest. You’ll fall in love with the sophisticated design and timeless style of this collection that will take your morning coffee routine and brunch gatherings to a whole other level of luxury and class.
The ‘Gallerie’ Kettle will have your morning coffee ready in no time thanks to a fast-boil 2200W concealed element. Gather the brunch squad for afternoon tea – this kettle can prepare 7 standard cups of tea in one boil. The more, the merrier!
With dual controls, you can toast 2 or 4 slices in the ‘Gallerie’ toaster at different browning levels (there are 9 to choose from!) so you can cater for different tastes and preferences. Don’t worry about burning your bread – the QuickCheck™ lever allows you to check your toasting progress without interrupting the toasting cycle.
Morphy Richards ‘Evoke’ Collection
If your kitchen has lost its aesthetic appeal so you no longer enjoy using that space, consider investing in a collection that will reignite the flame and seduce the senses, like the Morphy Richards ‘Evoke’ collection. This chic collection is designed to impress. Choose your kettle design – the modern jug shape or traditional pyramid kettle – in Blue Steel, Platinum or Bronze with chrome accents – and pair with a matching 2 or 4-slice toaster to instantly revamp your kitchen.
The ‘Evoke’ Kettles feature a 1.5L capacity, cord storage and wide handles for comfortable use, while the ‘Evoke’ Toasters have deep, self-centering slots with variable width, and 7 browning settings to prepare your toast just the way you like it.
Russell Hobbs ‘Lunar Ombre’ Collection
Nothing says luxury like this premium breakfast collection by Russell Hobbs. The ‘Lunar Ombre’ range will bring an ethereal dimension to your kitchen with its unique two-toned design. Choose your metallic gradient – the mesmerising White and Silver colour to give your kitchen a luminous glow, or the beautiful Black and Silver reminiscent of a crescent moon.
The ‘Lunar Ombre’ Kettle is designed for your morning convenience, equipped with a perfect pour spout to prevent water drips, an illuminated blue water window and quiet boil technology. The 4-Slice Toaster features Faster Toasting Technology* and 6 browning settings.

2. Trending: Scandi
S is for sleek Scandinavian style. These collections take their inspiration from the clean and unfussed aesthetic that is at the heart of Scandinavian design to bring elegance to your kitchen.
Morphy Richards ‘Scandi’ Collection
Breathe new life into your tired kitchen with the Scandi-inspired design of the Morphy Richards ‘Scandi’ collection.
