Fashion in the kitchen? Yes, this Meyer Prestige Mary Quant Deco kettle is just that – featuring a design from the hand of the sixties icon.

Sadly, it’s not in black and white or indeed covered in daisies, this particular design, as the name suggests, is more in the "Deco" style. It’s still a smart addition to your kitchen, as well as a very modern one, with its 1.5 litre capacity, 360 degree swivel base, automatic boil-dry cut out and over-heat protector, illuminated on/off switch and non-slip base.

You can pick one up online for £46.99.

Fancy a Smeg-like fridge, but don’t fancy paying a Smeg price? You should check out the Gorenje retro-style fridge range.

This European company is making a push into the UK – and this fridge is one of its fastest-moving items. No surprise really, it’s available in a range of interesting colours, including vanilla, silver and the burgundy pictured here, it’s eco-friendly (A+ rated) and it comes with a five years parts and labour deal.

Check out the full size and specification here. And if it matches up to your requirements, here’s the good news – they’re priced between £550 and £650. That’s considerably cheaper than the lowest-priced Smeg. Is the label worth the extra few hundred quid? We don’t think so.
