Kitchens aren’t always the easiest spaces to decorate. There’s a delicate balance between adding decor that makes the space feel chic and welcoming – without overcrowding your countertops with unnecessary clutter.
Let’s be honest – there are so many kitchen decor pieces out there, and not all of them add style or function to your kitchen.
But focusing on decor that instantly makes your space feel more inviting, while keeping with your color palette and overall kitchen aesthetic, will instantly give your kitchen a makeover and turn it into your dream space.
Of course, a well-decorated kitchen is nice to look at, but it’s also a more enjoyable space to live and cook in. Your kitchen is easily one of the focal points of your home, so it’s important to give it a little more attention when it comes to decorating.
In this post, you’ll discover the best kitchen decor from kitchen decorating ideas, kitchen decor inspiration, kitchen decor items, and more.
You don’t have to be a pro designer to elevate the look and feel of your kitchen… and these decor pieces prove it.
For a full breakdown of kitchen styling (and every other room), my room-by-room home decor guide is worth a look.
This post is all about the best kitchen decor finds that will instantly make you want to do a kitchen makeover.
The Best Kitchen Decor:
1. Marble Spoon Rest
A spoon rest is something you’re going to want by your stove in the kitchen – to make sure your counters don’t become a mess while you’re cooking. But since it’s something that’s going to stay on your counter, you also want to make sure it’s something that adds to the decor in your kitchen as well.
Marble is always a chic option that will elevate your space! This marble in particular adds a nice warmth to your kitchen, which looks nice against a white countertop and a bright kitchen.
2. Mini Electric Kettle
An electric kettle is something every tea lover needs in their kitchen, so why not make it cute? This electric kettle won’t take up a ton of counter space, but it’s definitely one of those appliances you want to leave out for decorative purposes.
The retro feel will give your kitchen a warm and inviting feel – to balance out your space.
3. Coffee Table Books
This coffee table book is one that you’ll love not just for its cover, but the content inside as well. Don’t be afraid to mix in some coffee table books into your kitchen setup. For decorative purposes, they’re going to be your best friend!
There’s a reason why all of the photos you see on Pinterest and in professionally designed places use coffee table books – they’re elegant and effortless.
Another coffee table book that will give your kitchen that elevated feel. You can even display it on a cookbook stand if you don’t have a recipe book that’s cute enough to keep front and center.
And a neutral coffee table book is always super easy to work in with the rest of the decor in the kitchen (it doesn’t take any styling skills to make this piece look good).
4. Marble Paper Towel Holder
A paper towel holder is something a lot of people wouldn’t think could be a decorative piece in their kitchen. But spoiler alert – it can!
Adding decorative pieces to your kitchen can be as simple as making a few easy swaps to your practical essentials. And if your kitchen has accents of gold and marble, this paper towel holder will be the perfect fit!
5. Marble Pinch Pot
Pinch pots like this one are great for multiple reasons: 1) they’re great for holding seasonings you want easy access to and 2) they look stunning sitting on your counter.
You can either leave one or two of these by your stove on the counter as is, or make them part of a display that involves a marble tray or maybe some cutting boards (get creative!).
6. Kitchen Towels Set
Kitchen towels are non-negotiable, so get ones that match with the aesthetic of your kitchen. They don’t have to be anything crazy (they could be super simple like this set) but as long as they go with your color scheme, they’ll help tie in with the rest of the details in your kitchen!
They’re also great for displaying on the handle of your oven to make sure they’re actually visible and easy to grab when you need them.
7. Brass Kitchen Rail
A kitchen rail is the perfect accessory for giving your kitchen a quaint feel while also upgrading your storage. You can really do a lot with an accessory like this – using it for both storage and decorative purposes.
This would look especially good in a coffee corner so you’re not using up valuable counter space to show off your adorable collection of mugs.
8. Marble Dessert Stand
A dessert stand is one of those things that can easily make your kitchen feel cozy (almost like your very own bakery).
And no matter what kind of dessert or baked goods you’re whipping up, a dessert stand display is timeless and looks great on any kitchen counter!
9. Wood Pedestal
Using a pedestal of some kind is a great way to create a decorative display to give your counters some life.
You can never go wrong with coffee table books, vases with greenery, and salt and pepper shakers – it’s the holy trinity that makes your kitchen look intentional and put-together!
10. Stainless Steel Spoon Rest
If you have gold accents in your kitchen (e.g. gold hardware) these spoon rests will tie in nicely with the rest of your kitchen and offer you a space to put your spoon or spatula so you don’t have to make a mess of your counters every time you use the stove.
These spoon rests also come in a two pack – one for each side of your stove.
11. Decorative Ruffle Bowl
Decorative bowls are one of the easiest pieces to put to use in a kitchen – we all need them for something. You can, of course, use a bowl like this one purely for decorative purposes (maybe add a string of wooden beads), or, you can make this into your fruit and veggie, or citrus bowl.
You really can’t go wrong, because whatever you decide to use this one for, it’s also doubling as extra storage space.
12. Beachwood Salt and Pepper Grinders
These salt and pepper grinders are stunning to say the least! Electric salt and pepper grinders may be efficient, but you can’t beat the chic design of a set like this one.
I always love working in warm wood accents to compliment white countertops – it’s the key to making sure your kitchen doesn’t feel stale or cold.
13. Marble Wood Decorative Stand
Another beautiful stand perfect for making a stunning display in your kitchen! You can turn this stand into your very own coffee corner or use it to combine essentials like salt and pepper grinders with some cookbooks and maybe a decorative vase with some flowers or greenery to sprinkle in a little bit of color.
It’s super easy to combine practical items you use on the daily with decorative pieces on a stand like this one – it’s the best of both worlds!
14. Bubble Vase
This one is technically a vase, but it also work really well as a holder for your cooking utensils.
You might not want to keep all of your cooking utensils in here (even though it’s big enough to probably fit them all), keeping your most used ones in here will make it a whole lot easier when you’re cooking by keeping the necessities within reach – while keeping your counters cute!
15. Marble Countertop Tray
A countertop tray is something you should not pass up on. They make your countertops look well-decorated, but the right ones won’t take up too much counter real-estate either.
I’ve also found that when you use a tray like this one to hold your essentials, it looks a lot more put-together compared to just having a bunch of items spread across your countertops.
16. Marble Butter Keeper
Storing your butter doesn’t get more stylish than this! If you’re incorporating marble with the rest of your kitchen accessories and decor, this butter keeper will fit in perfectly – making sure all aspects of your kitchen, even your butter, fits right in!
17. Cookbooks
Using one or two of your favorite cookbooks to decorate your kitchen with (ideally ones with pretty covers ;)) is an easy way to incorporate everyday necessities (that you might already own) to add some character to your kitchen.
You can either stack them on top of one another or side by side (like you would with coffee table books) or prop one up on a cookbook stand. Either way, this kitchen decor idea never fails to look good and is super easy to execute.
18. Brass Salt and Pepper Grinder Set
These salt and pepper grinders are a work of art! When it comes to decor with character, working in some antique pieces like these ones is a great way to make sure your kitchen isn’t too modern and lacking personality.
19. Paddle Cutting Board Set
Cutting boards might just be the easiest ways to decorate in your kitchen. Propping a couple of them up against your backsplash or behind your stovetop keeps it simple, while also adding some warmth and detail to your kitchen.
20. Marble Mortar and Pestle Set
This is one of those items that might not be considered an essential, but if you’re someone who loves to cook, this just might be the perfect practical decor piece to spice up your kitchen.
Remember how we were talking about kitchen displays and using decorative trays earlier? Well this would be the perfect addition for a hint of sophistication.
21. Matte Toaster
Toasters are easily one of the least attractive kitchen appliances out there (yes, I said it). Now, if you’re trying to find a toaster that brings character to your kitchen while not taking up a ridiculous amount of space (and one that’s practical too), this toaster might just take first place.
It gets the job done, but it’s also not an eye soar sitting on your counter. And even though the champagne color is one of their most stunning options, they also have a bunch of other colors to fit your kitchen palette.
22. Honey Pot With Silicone Dipper
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m a big honey person! I put it in my matcha and teas constantly, so I’m definitely someone who wants to keep it on my counter for easy access.
But like with a lot of other items, the plastic container that honey comes in is not really something that compliments the rest of your kitchen.
I highly recommend if you’re someone who like to keep you honey on your countertops (either in your coffee station or tea corner) that you get a cute honey pot to keep things classy.
23. Mini Ceramic Lamp
If you’ve ever been scrolling on Pinterest for countertop styling ideas, you’ve probably seen a lot of people incorporate small lamps like this one into their setup.
It’s a great way to add some warm light to your space and make it feel more homey and inviting. This is definitely a kitchen decor trick that doesn’t disappoint!
24. Marble Napkin Holder
If you’re someone who keeps their napkins handy on the kitchen counter, or likes to bring them out when hosting, a marble napkin holder is the way to go. It’s the perfect place to store your napkins without sacrificing style.
25. Glass and Wood Butter Dish
For all of my butter-loving people out there who like to keep a stick on the counters at all times, a cute butter dish is the way to do it. It’s still super easy to get to, but you also don’t have to worry about it taking away from the aesthetic of your kitchen.
26. Terracotta Vase
If you’re at a loss for how to decorate your kitchen counters and what to decorate them with, a large vase like this one is going to be your go-to.
They’re simple enough to where they don’t make your kitchen feel cluttered or claustrophobic, but they’re perfect for drawing attention to any bouquet of flowers or greenery.
This is especially a good idea if you’re someone who loves decorating with neutrals (like myself) to keep things super natural, while also making sure there is some kind of color giving your space life.
27. Bronze Cabinet Knobs
A lot of people forget about switching out the knobs and handles of their cabinets. It’s a lot easier than you would think, and it easily makes for the biggest kitchen upgrade!
It’s also a great way to change up the feel of your kitchen. For example, if you have black knobs and handles and you’re going for a warmer kitchen feel, switching to a brushed gold will do the trick.
Same goes for the shape of the knobs and handles… they can change the entire feel of your kitchen.
28. Marble Tray Set
This tray set is definitely on the smaller side, but that does not mean you cannot make a cute display out of it. The bowl would be the perfect place to store your salt, and you can easily use the rest of the tray to hold your cooking oils (olive oil, white vinegar, etc.).
29. Small Marble Bowl With Brass Spoon
Talk about the perfect salt bowl! It’s the right size to hold a good amount of coarse or regular sea salt, and it has the mini spoon for seasoning purposes so you don’t have to stick your fingers in there while you’re cooking.
Finding cute and clever ways like this to store your non-negotiable items is cute, but it also just makes cooking more fun!
30. Matte Gold Outlet Cover
Outlets easily take away from the beautiful aesthetic of your kitchen… and there tends to be a lot of them (and for good reason) along your backsplash.
So depending on the finishes, you might want to consider switching out the outlet cover for something that blends in better with the rest in your kitchen.
You can also do something like a marble outlet cover – it might be more of a statement piece, but then again, it’s more attractive and fun than your regular boring white cover.
31. Marble Sponge Stand
Finding a good place for your sponge that looks cute is pretty tricky. Don’t get me wrong, the caddies that stick to the side of your kitchen sink are super helpful, but they’re not exactly stylish.
But if you’re looking to keep things simple and chic, a sponge stand like this one looks great on your counter, and is fast-absorbing so you don’t have to worry about a pile of water forming by your kitchen sink.
32. Candle Warmer Lamp
Candles are great to have in the kitchen, especially when you need an easy way to freshen things up after cooking.
And a candle warmer lamp will give you the best of both worlds – it gives your kitchen cozy lighting and an elegant feel, while also filling your space with a fresh scent to get rid of any lingering fish or meat smell after dinner.
33. Waffle Tea Towel
Leaving a kitchen towel on the counter is a decorative choice that doesn’t get enough credit! It’s like leaving a throw blanket draped on your couch (only for your kitchen).
Of course having a towel nearby is helpful in case of emergencies, but it also looks so cozy draped over the side of your decorative tray or hanging on the handle of your oven. It’s also a great way to bring in new textures to your kitchen to spice things up.
34. Ceramic Oil Vinegar Dispenser
If you’re still keeping your olive oil and vinegar in its original packaging, you might want to consider switching them out for some more stylish containers that you don’t mind keeping displayed on your kitchen counter.
Anything that you plan on keeping within view in your kitchen (or really anywhere in your home) should be a little more elevated.
35. Marble Tumbler
Tumblers are great pieces to have in your kitchen for holding your cooking utensils. They’ll keep your countertops nice and organized without sparing any style!
36. Whistling Tea Pot
There is something about keeping a cute teapot like this on your stove that’s so homey! And with a tea pot like this, you’ll definitely want to keep it displayed in your kitchen, it’s just too cute to keep hidden in a cabinet.
37. Stone Tray
You can use a stone tray like this one anywhere in your kitchen to hold a couple of your kitchen essentials.
This one is the perfect size to hold your hand and dish soap by the sink. But wherever you end up putting it, trays like this one, even if they’re small, will make it look like you put a lot of thought into styling your countertops (even if you didn’t).
This post was all about the best kitchen decor finds that will instantly make you want to do a kitchen makeover.
