Breville has released a new range of kitchen appliances built around mixed-metal finishes, produced in collaboration with American interior designer Kelly Wearstler.
What has been announced
The collection brings together a set of countertop appliances finished in combinations of contrasting metals. Rather than a single uniform tone across the range, the products pair different metallic surfaces to create visual contrast within each piece. The collaboration with Wearstler, who is known for layered, material-led interiors, appears to have shaped the aesthetic direction of the line. Specific products in the range include appliances typical of the Breville countertop offer, though the mixed-metal treatment is the defining feature of this launch.

What this means for a kitchen project
For anyone planning a kitchen, the finish of countertop appliances is a detail that often gets resolved late in the process, sometimes as an afterthought. This kind of launch is a reminder that appliances sitting on a worktop do contribute to how a kitchen reads as a whole, particularly in schemes where metallic hardware, taps, or handles are already part of the brief.
Mixed-metal approaches in kitchen design have become more common in recent years, partly because they allow a space to feel considered without being too matched or rigid. If your kitchen already combines, say, brushed brass handles with a stainless steel sink, a countertop appliance that carries more than one metal tone can sit more naturally in that context than one finished in a single flat colour.
That said, countertop appliances are a separate decision from fitted cabinetry and hardware, and the two do not need to match precisely. The more useful question is whether the overall palette holds together, and whether the appliances you use daily are ones you are comfortable leaving out.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Breville mixed-metal collection available in the UK?
The source article does not confirm specific UK availability or pricing for the new range. Breville does operate in the UK market, so it is worth checking directly with the brand or authorised UK retailers for the latest information on availability.
How do I choose appliance finishes that work with my kitchen hardware?
The key is to look at the overall palette rather than trying to match everything exactly. If your kitchen uses a mix of metal tones in its hardware or fittings, a countertop appliance with a complementary finish can sit well without needing to be identical. Your kitchen designer can help you assess how the pieces work together before you commit.
Does it matter what my countertop appliances look like if they are not built in?
It depends on how you use your kitchen and how much of the worktop is visible day to day. Appliances that live out permanently, such as a kettle, toaster, or coffee machine, do form part of the visual impression of the space. In a carefully considered kitchen scheme, it is worth factoring them into the finish decisions early rather than choosing them separately at the end.
