Set Up a Functional Countertop with Stylish Kitchen Essentials

No household is complete without a well-functioning kitchen. As they say, your kitchen is the heart of your home. It is the most important area in the house where you prepare food, that’s why keeping a clean and organized kitchen setup is a must.

Knowing what design or aesthetic you want for your kitchen can be a big help in setting up a stylish cooking space. The countertop is the first thing your eyes will set on when you enter your kitchen, that’s why decluttering and making more space can be a therapeutic project.

We have clever ideas on how you can set up your kitchen counter with the help of kitchen tools and accessories.

Sort and store

Sort all your kitchen gadgets and tools then organize them in one area. Leaving only the essential cooking and mixing utensils such as spatulas, spoons, ladles, and turners stored in a utensil holder on the counter, keeps things tidy so it doesn’t take up too much space.

Our Crate and Barrel Black Silicone Utensil Collection has everything you need for everyday cooking.

Bring in storage solutions

An organized kitchen counter space makes every household’s designated chef happy. Organize your cooking ingredients in aesthetically pleasing kitchen jars and containers. Swap out your old containers with artful essentials designed to bring joy to the modern kitchen.
 
Our Montana Acacia and Glass Jar not only keep its contents fresh but also adds a natural warmth to the classic kitchen canisters. Don’t forget to blend in a tiered basket for additional storage of fruits and small vegetables like the Bendt 2-Tier Iron Fruit Basket.

Keep ingredients fresh

Placing storage equipment in the kitchen is more than just for show. Ceramic canisters, mills, glass jars, wooden trays, and more help in keeping cooking ingredients fresh and preserved. These kitchen storage items are best kept on top of the kitchen counter.

The Tondo Acacia Pepper and Salt Mill bring gorgeously grained acacia wood to your kitchen.

Make it stylish

Keeping your kitchen stylish is not as hard as it seems. With a good sense of design, you can buy unique and stylish kitchen essentials and use them as accent pieces even when not in use. One tip is to place them strategically in bright areas of your kitchen such as open storage shelves or the stovetop.
 
For blank spaces, large pots or colorful mixing bowls for the kitchen make a great eye-catching detail. The multi-color Maeve Dipped Ceramic Mixing Bowls feature bold hues that create color-blocking.

Choose functionality

To keep your kitchen counter free of unnecessary tools and accessories, only purchase those with functional simplicity. Take our Tomos Large Maple Cutting Board for example. Instead of just placing kitchen boards upright against the wall, this square wood cutting board comes with a real leather strap so you can hang it easily from hooks. 

Wooden chopping boards can also double as a serving tray. When not in use for prep, the Madeira Herringbone Acacia Wood Board can hold your favorite cheeses, crackers, and fruits. Made from acacia wood, its premium quality, and style fits every kitchen.

Always remember that the kitchen is a dynamic space that reflects your lifestyle. Keeping a tidy kitchen counter that matches your needs and preferred design will be highly rewarding if you love cooking or baking.
