First up, my all-time favourite. Smeg is an Italian brand that pioneered the fun-look, serious-performance fridge. With different lines to choose from, you can go for a sleek and modern locker-style number or the trademark 50′s-look model. I’m a fan of the latter, in white or cream.

An industrial-style fridge is always going to be a classic, and with good reason. Stainless steel works with many different interior styles, and adds a professional touch to a kitchen. I like the styles offered by German brand Miele, particularly the Grand Froid style, which would work for a large family.

Futuristic styles can be fun, too. The new Samsung by Gro fridge can be used horizontally or vertically, and the space-age styling would complement a super-modern, minimalist kitchen.

Probably the gold standard for designer refrigerators, Italian brand Meneghini makes unique models inspired by vintage iceboxes. Nigella Lawson has the cream one shown below, though I’ve got a soft spot for the tall, slim red model. Available to purchase at Robeys, the price (over 36K for the deluxe model) may make you think twice.

First up, Danny Seo’s chalkboard fridge, via Apartment Therapy. So pretty, not to mention useful:

Decals have been hot for a while now, but are still new for the kitchen. Etsy shop Small Time Art will custom-make a fridge accent in the colour of your choice: 

French designer Fabien Barral did a great paint-and-decal job on his fridge, based on the vintage packaging of bouillion cubes: 

I like this fridge from Design*Sponge because it’s so simple. Same old fridge, fab new magnets:

Possibly my favourite option of all, wallpaper is a great idea for a vintage-inspired kitchen. This one, also from Design*Sponge, makes me swoon:
