External design details include features like over 500 brilliant colors, [lacquered wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-x-ovo), portholes and clawfoot legs. The Meneghini refrigerator is a favorite of British celebrity cook Nigella Lawson. Before rushing out to get one, you'd better check the bank account: Frugal designs run about $3,000 and the more elaborate are well over $30,000. That’s more than an entire kitchen for most people. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro-modern Appliances:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating modern appliances with retro styling, combining the best of both worlds. - **Luxury Kitchen Design:** The demand for luxury kitchen appliances and furnishings presents an opportunity to create innovative and unique products that cater to high-end consumers. - **Customizable Home Appliances:** The trend of customizable appliances allows for disruptive innovation by offering personalized design options to consumers, adding a unique touch to their homes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Appliance Manufacturing:** Appliance manufacturers can seize the opportunity to create retro-modern appliances that appeal to consumers looking for a blend of nostalgia and modern functionality. - **Luxury Interior Design:** Luxury interior designers can tap into the demand for upscale kitchen designs by incorporating high-end appliances like the Meneghini refrigerator into their projects. - **Customization Services:** Companies specializing in customization services can cater to the growing market of consumers who want personalized home appliances, offering unique design options for their kitchens. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brightly Colored Luxe Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fab28.md) - [Celebratory Champagne-Branded Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-veuve-clicquot.md) - [Bespoke Multi-Section Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arte-mini-refrigerator.md) - [Convertible Under-Counter Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-kitchen-suite-mantle.md) - [Sleek Double-Door Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-door-refrigerator.md) - [Bespoke Refrigerator Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4door-french-door-refrigerator.md) - [Queen-Commemorating Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-bespoke-jubilee-fridge.md) - [Sleek Contemporary Smart Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-smart-fridge.md) - [Sleek Food Display Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kollect-smart.md)
