David and Victoria Beckham's homes have long served as a source of design inspiration for the celebrity style team here at H&G – but above all, we find ourselves returning to their London townhouse the most.
Designed by luxury Italian manufacturer Officine Gullo, the countertops, cabinets, and island all contribute to a mixed-material aesthetic – but this theme continues through their appliances. Take their toaster, for example. It's one of the best toasters available, but beyond its cooking abilities, it fits their textured kitchen perfectly.
The Dualit Classic NewGen Toaster (available on Amazon) has a chrome metal exterior, complementing the metallic kitchen backsplash and black countertops. The manufacturer, Dualit, has designed appliances since 1945, while their classic toaster has been hand-built in the UK since 1952. Today, it's an international kitchen essential – because if it's good enough for the Beckhams, it's good enough for us.
Enjoy the classic, timeless look of the iconic Dualit brand with up-to-date, energy-efficient technology. It's the perfect alternative for those who love retro style but still want a perfectly cooked bagel in the morning.
This toaster is the perfect fit for Beckham's mixed-material kitchen, but there's also something to say about the science behind the appliance. Dualit’s ProHeat elements have a protective, armor-plated layer, meaning they're (virtually) unbreakable. These toasters are designed to last longer than traditional wire element alternatives, with a superior heat spread and tastier toast, muffins, and teacakes. So, while $380 is an investment, it's one that will look great on your countertops for many years to come.
Toaster aside; however, the couple sport another iconic brand in their kitchen, this time in the form of Le Creuset. We spotted the eye-catching Le Creuset pepper mill that doubles as a great piece of elegant decor. Its beechwood exterior continues to tap into the mixed-material look, but it's also resistant to moisture, grease, and odors – meaning you can store it next to your cooker just as the Beckhams do.
Combining classic form and modern technology with traditonal wood styling, this Beckham-approved ceramic grinder is strong enough to crack peppercorns and corrosion-resistant for grinding salt. It's the most stylish way to store your condiments.
Retailing for $46, this classic pepper mill offers the chance to get Beckham's exact look at an accessible cost. It's so easy to use and strong enough to crack peppercorns without any issues. You can also adjust the grind setting with a turn of the knob by moving it clockwise for a finer ground and counter-clockwise for a coarser alternative.
Le Creuset is an iconic brand for a reason, and its style isn't lost on David and Victoria Beckham – now is the time to see why it continually lives up to its reputation.
