Has your kitchen been looking a little cluttered or blah? Are you still holding on to that collection of mismatched cups and plates from college? Have you been scrolling on IG/Pinterest and saving kitchen inspo with no idea what to do with your own? If you said yes to any of those questions, no worries, I made this post just for you. I too was feeling underwhelmed with my kitchen, which happens to be one of my favorite places in my apartment. So after shopping online and making a couple of trips to Target, I can finally say that I am in love with my kitchen.

Stemware, Dinnerware, and Silverware…Oh My!!!

I’ll be the first to say it, it’s time to clean out the cabinets full of plates and cups you’ve collected over the years and make room for new intentional purchases. This is an easy subtle way to show your personality with unique and colorful tableware. For my wine and cocktail connoisseurs, there are so many new and stylish options on the market, so why settle for boring alternatives? I opted for these ribbed cocktail glasses and statement matte black bowls/plates from Crate and Barrel that give that extra wow factor when posting my meals on IG. Shop my recent purchases below.

Containers & Jars

Storing your pantry staples in jars & containers not only helps eliminate visual clutter but also creates a modern/minimalistic vibe whether you have them behind the cabinets or on display. Food containers prevent unwanted pests & prolong the life of food. For a clean and organized look, you can find labels online that will bring it all together.

A Sleek Cookware Set

There are so many different cookware sets available to choose from and they don’t just come in the standard colors they’ve always been for years. From stainless steel to ceramic, there is a set available for your specific needs.

Drawer Organizers

Organize your utensils in drawer inserts to keep them in place and presentable. They come in different shapes and sizes to accommodate your drawers.

Fruit Bowls, Flowers, & Candles

I love picking up a flower arrangement when I’m at the grocery store and putting them in the center of my island. You can also have your fruit on display with stylish bowls. Candles can help eliminate smells from the previous nights’ dinner and bring a fresh scent to make you feel like you just finished cleaning. It always brings my kitchen to life no matter the time of year.

I hope you enjoyed this round up of kitchen essentials. Comment below what you will be adding to your kitchen.
