How To Choose Funky Kitchen Accessories

By Philip Burke

The old saying goes that the kitchen is the heart of the home, so why not vamp it up with a few funky kitchen accessories to really make it the envy of all your friends and relatives? A whole array of quirky and fun accessories can be bought from both high street shops and also on the internet, so you can either see and feel the products yourself or you can spend hours going through a whole assortment of accessories from the comfort of your home.

Pasta Jars

Although kitchen accessories should essentially be a practical piece of equipment for the kitchen, there's no reason at all why they can't be designed to be attractive and colourful to become a feature part of the kitchen. Matching oil drizzlers, salt and pepper grinders and pasta jars with colourful lids can look great sat on the worktop of any type of kitchen, whether it's a traditional country kitchen or a modern minimalist kitchen.


When designing a new kitchen, it can be worth looking at some very cool accessories, for instance built-in scales that are sunk into your actual worktop. Don't forget to accommodate larger utensils for example blenders and pestle and mortars, would they be placed in a cupboard or would you rather position them on the worktop to display? Other funky kitchen accessories include the ever important toaster. This comes in a full range of sizes and designs, from the small 2 slice traditional toaster to the huge 6 slice stainless steel toaster which is ideal for a big family.

Family Toaster

Don't forget to choose some quirky tea towels to complement your kitchen; these could really help to brighten up a kitchen that is predominantly in neutral or monochrome colours. Matching aprons and oven gloves can be bought to offer continuation for the colour scheme. Perhaps you may wish to choose textiles which have a Union Jack design to keep in trend with the current celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics, or perhaps you would prefer to choose kitchen accessories which have a retro design with a humorous saying or quote.

The main benefit to selecting new kitchen accessories is the fact that the majority of them are comparatively cheap, so they can be updated as and when necessary in order to customise the finished look of the kitchen.
