Burgundy is taking over interior trends this season — I found the perfect £80 Morphy Richards kettle to get the look

BURGUNDY has spent the past year climbing out of fashion and into the kitchen, and Morphy Richards has a limited-edition colourway built for exactly that moment. It’s called Rhubarb, and the brand describes it as sitting between the depth of burgundy and the vibrancy of plum. Morphy Richards Limited Edition Accents Rhubarb Kettle & Toaster Set, £159.98 Worldwide Google searches for ‘red kitchen appliances’ have risen by 1,370% over the past year, according to Google Trends data, and burgundy has run through most of the 2026 colour forecasts in both fashion and interiors.

The Accents 1.5L Pyramid Kettle in Rhubarb is £79.99 direct from Morphy Richards, and the matching four-slice toaster is the same. Buy them together as the Rhubarb Kettle & Toaster Set, and you’ll pay £159.98, which works out to be identical to buying the two separately. Delivery is free on baskets over £60 to mainland Great Britain. The kettle has a 1.5L capacity and a 3kW rapid-boil element, which, in everyday terms, means enough for four or five mugs and less time standing around waiting for your cuppa to be ready, There’s an easy-view water window so you’re only boiling what you need, and a removable limescale filter – genuinely useful if you’re anywhere in the hard-water belt, which is most of the south-east. The toaster is a four-slice model with variable browning control, a high-lift function to remove crumpets without burning your fingers, and a removable crumb tray. Morphy Richards Limited Edition Accents Rhubarb Kettle & Toaster Set, £159.98 Both have ratings of 5.0 out of 5, though the sample is small – three reviews each on the brand’s own site, with a further four on the set. One buyer wrote that they “love the colour; it looks so stylish in my kitchen”, while another said of the toaster that “the colour is brill” and it “fits perfectly” on their worktop. A verified purchaser who bought the set noted that the toaster browns a whole slice evenly and the kettle boils fast. Not everyone is unreserved, though. One reviewer, while rating it five stars and praising the silk finish for not showing hard-water marks, added that it’s “a bit expensive in comparison to similar kettles”. If you’re midway through a kitchen refresh and you want the trend without repainting anything, you could start with the kettle and see how the colour sits in your light before adding the toaster. Morphy Richards is also running 10% off a first order for new newsletter sign-ups, which would bring a single appliance down to £71.99 – worth doing before you check out, though it’s first-order only and you’ll be handing over your email address.
