Kitchen Makeover: 9 Items To Enhance Aesthetics And Functionality In Your Space

In the heart of every home, the kitchen stands as a hub of culinary creativity and daily nourishment. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a casual cook, we all appreciate a kitchen that not only looks beautiful but functions seamlessly. In this blog, we'll introduce you to our favorite items that will add a new level of functionality to your kitchen. From magnetic shelves to fine kitchen utensils, these 9 carefully selected pieces will transform your cooking space into a culinary haven.

  • 1. Shelving

    Our top way to add space to your kitchen is far and foremost through clever shelving. Not only is it an amazing way to display your favorite pieces that you use daily, but it also adds a touch of style and functionality. Our personal favorites? The PI Wall Shelving System by Ethnicraft or for a more modern look, our Rivet Shelf by Frama.

  • 2. Knife Holder

    You've likely seen magnetic knife holders before, but this Magnetic Shelf from Ekta Living by Wirth is exceptional. It looks like wood and, in addition to holding knives, it doubles as a book holder and a small shelf. This means you can keep your favorite cookbook or recipe within easy reach while you're busy in the kitchen – a practical and clever addition to your cooking space.

  • 3. Fruit Bowl

    A large bowl serves as a stylish and practical storage solution for your fresh fruits and vegetables. It not only adds a touch of visual appeal to your kitchen but also helps you keep track of your available stock, serving as a handy reminder of what you have on hand. We love the Relevé Platter by Colin King, Gaia Bowl by Serax and the Mun Stone Bowl.

  • 4. Kitchen Utensils

    Next, let's talk about the timeless elegance of kitchen basics. We absolutely adore these utensils crafted from carbonized ash wood, designed by Pascale Naessens for Serax. Thanks to their unique material, these utensils maintain their original rich brown color, adding a beautiful and classy touch to your kitchen. Pro-tip: store them on your kitchen counter in our Gaia Vase.

  • 5. Tea Towel

    Another essential item in the basics category is the tea towel. Often, a regular tea towel may not be the most visually pleasing addition to your kitchen, which can detract from the overall aesthetics. However, introducing a crisp linen tea towel, like this one by Timeless Linen, can make all the difference. Don't like off white? We also offer the towel in natural, oat meal and green sage.

  • 6. Paper-towel Holder

    Have you ever come across a truly beautiful paper towel holder? If not, you're in for a pleasant surprise with Ekta Living by Wirth. This brand specializes in crafting stunning and solid kitchen essentials, such as pepper grinders, salt jars, and even a beautiful table frame. Their cleverly designed cutting boards are another standout feature. It's the perfect place to discover both style and functionality in your kitchen accessories.

  • 7. Pepper Grinder & Salt Jar

    One of the most frequently used kitchen items, though not always the most visually appealing, is the salt and pepper duo. We firmly believe that investing in a high-quality set is well worth it. Consider the pepper grinder and salt jar from Ekta Living by Wirth – they will add a touch of elegance to your kitchen for sure.

  • 8. Pitcher

    We absolutely adore a striking sculptural pitcher displayed on a shelf. Whether it's occasionally used to hold a fresh bouquet of flowers or to serve drinks at your next dinner gathering, this handmade ceramic carafe is sure to captivate the eye. If you like a more modern estethic you will absolutely adore the Pleat Pitcher by Audo Copenhagen.

  • 9. Cookie Jar

    Finally, we can't help but highlight this intriguing sculpture by Houtlokaal. This piece holds a special place in our hearts as it beautifully blurs the line between art and functionality. Meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, this cookie jar is a part of the remarkable Repeat Collection. It's a unique addition to your kitchen that adds a touch of artistic flair while serving a practical purpose.
