Hilary Duff has this five-star toaster in her kitchen – and it complements her countertops perfectly
The actress turned to a classic Italian brand for this kitchen must-have – it's a timeless choice that will suit every space
Hilary Duff may be an award-winning actress and singer, but like everybody, she uses ordinary kitchen appliances every day.
The figure, who is best known for playing the title character of the television series Lizzie McGuire and The Lizzie McGuire Movie, shared a rare glimpse into her kitchen habits by responding to her husband, Matthew Koma, on her Instagram. In the story (pictured below), the actress reacts to Matthew, who shared that Hilary left a single hotdog on the counter to marinate overnight.
While we are inevitably interested in the couple's countertop (and beautiful gold door handles), we admit that Hilary's choice of toaster steals the show.
The appliance in question is a cream Smeg – one of the best toasters on the market – and one that will look as good in your kitchen as it does in hers.
The cream Smeg toaster, as seen in Hilary Duff's kitchen, is a retro-style appliance suitable for two slices. The actress's choice of color is fitting alongside her white marble kitchen countertop ideas and black and white tiled wall, seen behind the appliance.
With its versatile good looks, it's easy to see why Hilary Duff uses this appliance in her home, but if you're thinking of investing, you will agree that its functionality is just as important.
In our Smeg 4 slice toaster review, we put an almost-identical appliance to the test, and sure enough, it did not disappoint. Gaining 4 out of 5 stars, our reviewer loved the toaster's high-quality design that is created to stand the test of time. Plus, you can choose from a wide selection of different tones if Hilary's color ideas would not work in your kitchen.

Reese Witherspoon's Smeg kettle is yet another timeless appliance from the Italian powerhouse – boasting the same retro aesthetic as the toaster – and the same A-lister approval.
