Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is where styling has to survive contact with real life. Anything precious gets ruined, anything useless gets moved, and the bench is under permanent negotiation with the toaster. What works here is the stuff that looks good while doing a job.

Leave out what you use daily and hide the rest. A board propped against the splashback, a crock of wooden spoons, a jug that holds water or stems depending on the day. Repeat one material, timber or stone or a single ceramic tone, so the bench reads as composed rather than collected. One thing living, always, even if it is a supermarket bunch.

Our kitchen range covers boards and serving pieces, canisters and storage, jugs and vessels, linen and tea towels, recipe journals, candles and bench styling. Built for kitchens that actually get cooked in.

How do I style a kitchen bench?
Leave out only what you use daily and group it: a board propped against the splashback, a crock of utensils and one stem in a jug. Repeat one material, such as timber or stone, so the bench looks composed.

What tea towels dry best?
Linen tea towels, like the Ned Collections Nest tea towel in 100% linen, dry glassware well and soften with washing. Microfibre tea towels from Barkly Basics are a practical everyday option at 50 x 70cm.

How do I care for wooden kitchen utensils?
Hand wash in warm soapy water, dry straight away and never leave timber soaking. Rub beechwood spoons and boards with a little food-safe oil every few weeks to stop them drying out and cracking.

Which dish rack suits a small kitchen?
Try the compact Umbra UDRY Mini drying mat and rack, or the Dishy German Pine Folding Dish Rack, which folds away between washes. Both keep the bench clear without giving up much space.
