With air fryers and electric tea kettles cluttering our counters, it’s easy for our kitchens to look messy. While there are a few ways to streamline this space — like investing in organizers and magnetic knife strips — one of the easiest solutions is to grab chic products that look great on display. Some easy swaps include replacing plastic soap bottles with this gorgeous dispenser, cycling out your mismatched food storage containers for glass jars, and buying a colorful spoon rest to add a pop of color to your kitchen counter. The best part? These elevated essentials start at just $7 on Amazon.
Elevated Kitchen Essentials at Amazon
Cork & Mill White Marble Salt Cellar
Amazon
A salt cellar this beautiful pulls double duty as a convenient way to store sea salt and a conversation piece. Like flies to honey, its marble body and acacia wood lid are bound to attract compliments from curious guests eager to grab such a prize for their kitchens. It’s available in white and black, but we suggest buying both for salt and pepper.
Yaukph Small Soap Dispenser
Amazon
A quick and easy hack for elevating your kitchen aesthetic is to replace the disposable plastic soap bottles next to your sink with chic, refillable models. This $7 soap dispenser is the perfect choice with its timeless design.
Razborci Stone Drying Tray
Amazon
Of course, you’ll want to grab a matching tray to show off your new soap dispenser. This super-absorbent stone drying tray not only keeps the area around your sink free from unsightly puddles and scum, but it also looks great doing it. Choose from a few colors, all of which are on sale for $10 for a limited time.
Beast Mini Blender Plus
Amazon
Unlike many kitchen appliances, the Beast Mini Blender Plus was designed with looks and power in mind. The brand paired its fluted glass containers with striking colors crafted for the spotlight. Outside of its appearance, we were impressed with its performance during testing, writing that it’s “wildly convenient for smaller jobs, like a quick pesto or a morning smoothie.”
Leaves and Trees Large Glass Food Storage Jars, Set of 2
Amazon
The first thing you should do when you get home from the grocery store is decant dry ingredients from their paper bags into uniform, airtight storage containers. Your flour and sugar will stay fresh for longer, and your pantry will look infinitely more organized. With its 3,100-plus five-star ratings at Amazon, this duo is clearly worth purchasing and can hold up to 5.7 pounds of rice or 5 pounds of flour, according to the brand. The jars are made of glass to reduce your microplastic exposure, the lids are airtight, and the price is right at less than $18 apiece.
Musifan Acacia Wood Cutting Board
Amazon
Plastic cutting boards shed microplastic particles into your food with every swipe of your chef’s knife, which is why we switched to wooden cutting boards years ago. Beyond the health component, a wooden board is also gorgeous enough to display on a kitchen counter. This one’s checkered pattern is particularly striking, with alternating brown and white squares of acacia wood.
Cormomu Spoon Rest
Amazon
Stop splattering your counter with splotches of soup or sauce, and grab this $13 spoon rest instead. It’s large enough to hold ladles and silicone spatulas alike. Plus, it’s dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning after cooking.
Great Jones Little Sheet
Amazon
You can even elevate your cookie sheets by grabbing the blueberry Little Sheet from Great Jones. It’s our favorite pick for gifting because of its bold color, but we’re just as likely to buy it for ourselves. It’s oven-safe up to 450°F, sturdy to prevent warping, and an excellent size when cooking for one or two people.
