Whether you have a spacious kitchen or a petite kitchen; some of the smallest tweaks on accessory placements can make a huge difference in how your kitchen can make you feel. This week we combed through Everten’s vast collection of kitchen accessories to find you ten must-haves that can pack some serious style (with a creative eye for the decor of course). There’s plenty here to inspire your next remodel, kitchen organisation or even solutions with practical functions.

If you had to look at your pantry everyday, there is a high chance you will want to always treat it right and most importantly you will want to admire it.

|2. KitchenCraft Industrial Mug Tree

Open and Industrial. Here is another brand that prides itself on kitchen accessories that are driven by a trend that screams sophistication — helping you turn your kitchen into a catwalk of style. Even the smallest detail requires thoughtful consideration. Originally founded in 1850 by Thomas Plant, this brand started off specialising in ironmongery which explains this mug tree. It's made out of iron and the base out of natural mango wood. It has a sturdy built and can hold 8 mugs. With its appealing mix of materials, this peace will surely fit both the modern and traditional kitchen.

Eva Solo Trivet

|3. Eva Solo Magnetic Trivet

Hot stuff coming through! Eva Solo’s trivet has a built-in magnet, allowing your pot to stay with the heat mat while you transfer your pot from the stove top to table. We love that it can separate into two pieces to hold your pot on each end, regardless if your pot is rectangular or oval - and then the two pieces can be used by crossing the two pieces together. And if you are someone who prefers serving your meals in an enameled cast iron pan and worry about damaging your precious wooden table, these trivets would be perfect. As soon as you are done with it, you can store it away neatly without taking up too much space.

Serving Board

|4. Winestains Serving Paddle Board, $41.95

This one right here is All New in our books. When we laid eyes on Winestains serving boards, we couldn’t get our eyes off it. The story behind Winestains started off with a simple idea. From having found scarred and stained timber laying around amongst unwanted old wine barrels, to transforming them into stylish serving pieces with an actual history of their past life. This unique Australian owned brand creates serving pieces that are made from 100% Australian oak wood, plus they are all handcrafted with careful detail. Each one can be a part of your kitchen serving arsenal, or a display of old charm and full of history. Winestains is completely committed to the environment. In an effort to help reduce deforestation and to help communities living in poverty, Winestains join hands with tree.org; they will plant 1 tree for every Winestains design sold.

Chopping Board

|5. Joseph Joseph Nest Chop Chopping Board

Kitchen utensils and accessories can be stylish and functional. We admire product designers who dare to ask themselves, “Is there a better way to make this product?” The founders of Joseph Joseph are consistently looking for ways to redesign or improve kitchen accessories that help enhance our daily living. One of the key features that are very apparent in all Joseph Joseph kitchen line of tools and accessories are their flat designs - keeping in mind the common inconvenience of storing a kitchen accessory that takes up too much space. Their Nest Chop Chopping board is a great example - it’s easy to store because it’s flat and it has a curved design so the board can be stored away upright. In addition to great functionality and simplicity, the chopping board comes with an assortment of quirky colours and hues making them fun and bright. You may not even mind displaying them as a stylish piece in your kitchen.

Joseph Joseph Chopping Boards

|8. Joseph Joseph Chopping Board

We hate to break this to you, but your chopping board is right up there with your sink and sponge when it comes to being one of the dirtiest places in the kitchen. More often than not we tend to use the same chopping board for all kinds of chopping tasks in the kitchen. Yes, we know, having one too many chopping boards is probably going to take up a lot of space (and can look ugly after a while). The good news is Joseph Joseph designed a handy index chopping board that includes 3 types of chopping surface to suit different types of ingredients. In addition to that, it is designed with a handy tab to indicate the type of ingredient you should use them for - cooked food, vegetables, and raw meat. The boards are made of bamboo and the stand is made of stainless steel. With both materials combined into the design, this chopping board easily becomes a chic display piece when not in use.
