Must have items for kitchen

The choice below is a great start to making your unique dream kitchen come true.

2. Utensils
There are so many utensils that you will need for your kitchen
Instead of bying them individually from different places why not buy them all together.
Not only it will be cheaper but they will all be aesthetically pleasing and matching.
Below I have gathered some of the best sets I could find that are reasonably priced and have that unique country style that will make your kitchen atmosphere so cosy.

3. Knife set
When you are just moving into a new place and don’t want to spend a lot of money, one knife would do the job for the meantime.
But when you have been living in your new place for a while, you start to need more knifes as you are experimenting with new recipes.
Trust me, the first time I bought sourdough in my new place I only had a regular knife from Ikea.
It’s safe to assume that it wasn’t a pleasant experience cutting it. I struggled so much my arm muscles were hurting the next day.
When I bought a set with a bread knife in it everything was so much easier I felt elated.

4. Chopping boards
After purchasing your knifes you need to have somewhere to chop.
And what’s a better place than multiple chopping boards made specifically for the type of food you will be cutting.
For example, you want to have salmon bites tonight but don’t want to contaminate your vegetables with the fish.
The perfect solution is a chopping board set.
If you want to only have one chopping board, I have another option below for a bamboo wood cutting board with 6 colour coded mats.
Easily cleaned and perfect for tighter spaces.

5. Dinnerware and bowls set
A kitchen is never complete without beautiful plates and bowls.
They are a must have everyone.
From single people to families with kids, these sets are one of the most used items in the kitchen.
Whether you want to just make a sandwich, morning cereal or a huge family dinner having a sturdy, durable and beautiful dinnerware is crucial.
I have added my favourite picks to give your kitchen that countryside cosy vibe.

6. Mugs
My favourite item to buy for my kitchen has always been mugs.
There is so much choice out there with more and more interesting designs coming on the market.
Whether you are a coffee or tea lover, you need to have cute mugs for your daily beverages.
The posibilities are endless for your country style kitchen.
So I have gathered some of the best options on the market that include muted pastel colour perfect for a cozy, homey vibe.

7. Mixing bowls
You will definitely need mixing bowls especially if you want to make your daily salad or a cake for the family.
I don’t know how I lived without them for so long. Now it’s all I use.
I like having different sized ones since they all have a different purpose.
The biggest one is the perfect size for a fresh, hearty salad. I use the smaller ones for all kinds of stuff like making sauces, marinating salmon bites, mashing avocado.
I have chosen a couple options that look durable and have nice colours that would go well in a country kitchen. My favourite option comes with a colander and lids!

8. Pan Set
You want to make your first big meal in your new kitchen but only have one pan?
I know how this feels since I used to only have one pan at the begining and making anything too complicated was impossible.
This is exactly why you need to have a pan set. You don’t want just any pan set, though.
You need it to be non-stick, easy to use and easy to clean.
Finding the right equipment could take years if you don’t know where to look.
I have put together a few sets that have stood the test of time. Some used by me, others recommended by friends. They have all the features needed in a pan with the perks of great colours.

9. Bakeware set
Once you are settled down into your new kitchen it’s inevitable to start experimenting more with baking.
When I first moved into a new kitchen everything was new and intimidating so I just stuck to easy, well-known recipes.
But after a while my inspiraton started to grow so I wanted to make different baked goods.
Whether you are making banana bread, roasted potatoes, muffins or a chocolate cake you need to have the right equipment.
Buying a set will make your life so much easier. Below are some amazing choices that inspired me when I was purhasing my first set.

10. Glassware set
Without a doubt, something that you will need is a beautiful glassware set.
Whether you want to drink water, give your kids lemonade or offer yours guests a beverage it is definitely something you won’t regret buying.
In the long run, it’s more cost effective to buy a bigger set than buying individually.
So I have attached a few great options for you next purchase below.

11. Glass jars
Despite them not being a priority, I believe that glass jars give your kitchen a more sophisticated look as well as being the perfect decoration for your counter tops and shelfs.
They are great for storing your pantry staples since they come in different shapes and sizes.
Whether it’s pasta, cereal or nuts, everything is stored in an airtight container that not only looks better but also keeps your food fresh longer.
Some great choices are linked below.

12. Paper Towel Holder
Something I use a lot when I’m in the kitchen is paper towels.
I know it’s not the most environmental friendly thing but it’s undeniable that it’s very useful.
Whether you spill something or just want to clean the counter quickly, having an easy access to paper towels is essential.
You can choose a stand to put on your counter or if you’re like me you might like the holders that can be stuck underneath your counters.
Either way, there are a few option below that you can choose from.

13. Salt and Pepper Shakers
I can’t believe it took me this long to get salt an pepper shakers.
I used to use the disposable ones that you get from the shop.
Not only are they wasteful but they are also very uncomfortable to use.
Since buying the non disposable shakers I have been able to buy big bags of salt and pepper, which last a lifetime and are much better for the environment.

14. Spice Rack/ Jars
The spice rack/jars obsession in recent years is one of my favourite things.
It creates order within the chaos that spice jars bring.
I love colour coding it and writing the names of the spices on the jars.
It’s unbelievable that something so small can bring me so much joy.
I’d love for others to try doing the same so I have selected a few items that would be perfect for spice rack or drawer.

15. Fruit Bowl
Lastly, what is a kitchen without a gorgeous fruit bowl.
It certainly gives a homey atmosphere, with a little pop of colour, that makes your counter tops complete.
Additionally, it can also be used for storing all kinds of things not just fruits.
