Kitchens can be hard to style, especially since so much space is often taken up by naff-looking white goods and uninspiring tools (like that daggy microwave you’ve been carting around since uni). Home decor enthusiasts know that SMEG products – famous for their retro shapes and oh-so-pretty colours – are a fab alternative to traditionally chrome or stark-white appliances. They come in so many delectable hues, too, we reckon they’d look shmick-as in almost any abode. To test our theory, we picked out a SMEG appliance to match some of our fave movie kitchens. 

The spiffy goods mentioned below are all available at Kitchen Warehouse. Clickety-clack here to feast your eyes on their full range of SMEG products. 

Amelie (2001) Parisian manic pixie dream girl Amelie Poulain lives in a small apartment in the bohemian enclave of Montmartre. It’s a tiny space, but charmingly decorated in rich shades of red and green. In keeping with Amelie’s job at a cafe, we reckon she’d love this bright red SMEG espresso machine. Mermaids (1990) Mermaids stars Cher, Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci as a flamboyant mother and two daughters living in small-town Massachusetts in the 1960s. Their kitchen is cute but lived-in – perfect for dance parties around the dinner table – and decorated with mint green and cream accents. The SMEG pastel green toaster would suit nicely.Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) Audrey Hepburn’s Holly Golightly is not a great cook; her pressure cooker explodes when she’s trying to make chicken with saffron rice with chocolate sauce. Maybe she should stick with appliances you can’t get wrong – like a tea kettle. Holly is a bit of a flashy gal, so she might like this unusual rose gold colour from SMEG. It’s Complicated (2009) This Meryl Streep classic doesn’t include a retro kitchen, but we’d be remiss not to mention a movie that’s so famous for its interiors. Director Nancy Meyers loves open-plan kitchens with warm lighting, ginormous benches and plenty of copper pans hanging on the wall. Meryl’s character is a bakery owner and a great cook, so she’d have all kinds of lovely kitchen tools on hand. This SMEG’s cream-coloured hand-mixer would suit the movie’s neutral tones.
