Top 10 - Best Designer Phones of 2022

Looking for the best designer phone? Discover our Top 10 recommendations of the year.

Last updated by Craig McInally 8 days ago

Add some design flair to your home with this great selection of designer phones.


There are all kinds of great phones on the market today, but if you’re looking for something a little more stylish, you’ll want a designer telephone. Not only are these models functional objects in themselves, but they can also add a touch of style to any room.

Many of the top brands now offer compelling designer options, including Panasonic, Jacob Jensen, and Gigaset, among others.

But it's not enough or a phone to just look great. Many so-called designer phones actually offer poor functionality and sub-standard sound quality- a case of style over substance. For that reason, our team of cordless phone experts put every model through its paces to find out how it really stacks up. What's more, we also carry out extensive surveys of real customers throughout the year, to ensure that they perform well in practise, too.

Below are our Best Designer Phones, tested and rated:

What we look for in a cordless phone:


  • Sound Quality
    Every phone on our Top 10 has undergone extensive checks for excellent call quality.
  • Range
    We know that this is an important feature for many of our customers so if a phone drops out a few metres from the base it won't make the cut.
  • Usability
    We have a panel of experts and focus groups who test every phone to find out how easy they are to use.
  • Build & Reliability
    Our extensive consumer survey conducted throughout the year helps us to determine which phones and brands are the most reliable.
