The Dramatic Shade That’s Shaking Up Home Appliances

January 21, 2025-3 min read

Looking to add a pop of colour into your home? It’s simple. Choosing a vibrant shade like red is an easy-to-switch-in colour for small kitchen appliances such as KitchenAid’s Artisan Stand Mixer Empire Red and Empire Red Blender – just the thing to brighten your benchtop.

You can also embrace this trend with your personal tech – think colour-rich smartphones, smartwatches or headphones – and don’t forget your cleaning and grooming essentials too!

Ready to welcome red at your place? Here’s a selection of boldly coloured buys, perfect for every area of the home, plus expert advice on how to style with this daring shade.

Colour In The Kitchen

Red-based shades make an ideal accent colour in kitchens and in your dining area. “Red stimulates appetite, which is why we often use it in kitchens and restaurants,” says Vicki Murnane, interior designer and founder of Lusheri Design

Introducing a pop of colour is a brilliant way to tap into the trend. Bring your benchtop to life with a zingy toaster and kettle combo or zero in on a high-impact stand mixer.

Cue the KitchenAid Artisian Stand Mixer Empire Red– a baker’s best friend. With 10 speeds plus a raft of versatile attachments, you can make bread or pastry dough, whip cream, and even shred chicken for family taco night.

If a powerful blender is on your wish list, the new KitchenAid Empire Red Blender is the on-trend product for you. Quickly blend even your toughest ingredients with ease, thanks to the powerful 3-part blending system, and clean-up has never been quicker thanks to its simple-to-use self-cleaning cycle.

“Red-based shades make an ideal accent colour in kitchens and in your dining area.”

Colour In The Home Office

Go bold with your tech for more productive (and stylish) days in the home office. “Red is an excellent colour for the office; it's stimulating and helps increase concentration and awareness,” says Vicki Murnane.

It’s all about the accessories – rev up your office kit with a Microsoft Surface and Microsoft Surface Pro 8/X Signature Keyboard (Poppy Red) and Microsoft Surface Pro 8/X (Poppy Red). Then, complete the set with a phone and smart watch to match.

Colour In The Living Room

Less is more in this high-traffic zone, says Vicki Murnane. “Choose one or two elements to bring the room to life.” Keen to make your TV part of the decor? Choose a coloured frame for your frameable smart TV. Prefer to project your screen? A projector in a bright hue can turn your lounge-room wall into a screen of up to 100 inches. Or, erect a sheet in the backyard to watch movies in the moonlight!

Colour In Your Cleaning Army

The latest stick vacuums make for fast and efficient cleaning – and a slick model in a hot shade might just give you the kickstart you need to whiz through those jobs.“Stick vacs require absolutely no set-up. Simply remove your stick vac from its charging station, turn it on and start vacuuming,” says Nick Trajkovski, The Good Guys Buyer – Microwaves and Floorcare.

For quick crumb removal, stick vacs are best stored in a cupboard near common living areas. But with a sleek vacuum in an on-trend shade, why not keep it out in the open?

Time to buy a new vacuum cleaner? You might be wondering … how do I choose? Updating an appliance in your home, especially one as important as your vacuum cleaner, can be a difficult task.
