Matching kettle and toaster - a must, unnecessary or weird?

[soppypreggyloon]

I'm getting a new kettle as old one has a busted filter and leaves teeny bits of limescale in drinks etc. Not a problem for us but might be for dc2 when I start doing FF.
I have a dark grey (almost black) plastic kettle ad toaster than match.
I want a red kettle to match other kitchen things I have. Should I get the matching toaster (about £30) as well?
Is that weird to have them match/ not match?
Or totally irrelevant?
My nesting instinct says buy it but my sensible brain says I don't need it!
:)

i you like it and can afford it, go for it. it is unnecessary, of course, which I think you know!

Unnecessary.

Weird, but harmless. If that's what you want in your kitchen, then get it.

Is it a specific shade of red, ie would be hard to match later?

And how old is your toaster - and can you afford it? If your toaster is likely to last a long time yet, do you think the red range will be discontinued?

It's unnecessary, but it would be the kind of thing that would please me and make me smile first thing in the morning (or when making middle of the night bottle ). If you're the same then why not? :)

Could you buy the toaster now and store it in a cupboard for such time as the current toaster breaks? Or keep the old toaster for a spare. I wouldn't want to waste a perfectly good item that works is the only dilemma.

If you can afford it then do it :)

If it would make you happy and you can afford it, the do it.

Personally I prefer not matching. :)

I used to think everything should match, but now I realise life is too short.

My advice - spend as little time around domestic appliances as humanly possible.

Loiter near the wine rack instead.

not into matching myself.

mine match!

No to matchy matchy stuff here.

mine match!

Mine too!

To go overboard on matchy stuff is a bit twee (although I do have a few things that match!)

I replace each when it breaks, so not matching.

There is no reason they should match.

Im just thinking of years ago when nothing matched. remember fibreglass curtains all flowery that went with nothing else in the house.. the wallpaper was fussy too with odd scatter cushions and a way out jazzy patterned carpet.. enought to cause a seizure..

I couldn't care less about matching kettle and toaster. We do have matching ones, but that is because my in-laws bought them for us when we moved in. We already had perfectly good kettle and toaster that didn't match, so obviously this is something that matters a lot more to them than me.

My toaster is relegated to the utility and my kettle sits on the job so no matching here. I probably would coordinate, but not necessarily match, if I bought them new together.

I find it physically impossible to generate enough enthusiasm about the appearance of domestic appliances to bother making sure that they match.

Thinking again, the "matching" things have been somewhat out of fashion for a while. It's been cool to have non-matching stuff. So I reckon matching appliances are due a comeback :D
