1. Modern Classic Kitchen Vignette

I love this look for its everyday elegance. It’s functional—with oil bottles, cookbooks, and chopping boards—yet everything feels so intentionally put together. It’s also incredibly low-maintenance. The only decorative piece here is the vase with faux stems, while the wooden pedestal adds just the right touch of designer style without going overboard. If you love a simplified, effortless aesthetic, this one's for you.

2. Farmhouse Simplicity

This is a farmhouse aesthetic done the designer way—relaxed, layered, but still elevated. The ceramic utensil holder is beautifully simple and understated, and paired with the tea jar (which doubles perfectly for sugar or coffee beans), it creates a seamless tone-on-tone look. The wooden bowl adds just the right touch of warmth and texture—use it for garlic pods or small essentials. You can also swap the cookbook with a cutting board for a more rustic vibe. And those sleek, rectangular oil bottles? So modern and functional. I love how everything feels easy, yet thoughtfully pulled together.

3. Organic Moody Styling

These next two are for the lazy stylers—if you want a styled kitchen countertop without overthinking the layers, this one's for you. I started with a large wooden chopping board as the backdrop (instant warmth and texture), leaned in a cookbook, added a touch of greenery, and balanced it with this gorgeous olive green utensil holder. It’s a refreshing yet moody palette—bringing in just the right amount of life while keeping the overall vibe cozy and effortless.

4. Warm Vintage Kitchen Vignette

My favorite of the bunch—this one’s still for the lazy styler, but with a vintage-inspired twist. Instead of a chopping board, I used a stunning framed art piece with negative space to give it that high-end, designer feel. It feels luxurious, elegant, and timeless. The silk golden hydrangeas paired with the rustic vase add warmth and texture, while still keeping things soft and classic. For functionality, I used a mortar and pestle, a small ceramic jar (perfect for garlic pods, tea bags, or coffee pods), and of course, the copper salt and pepper grinders—so obsessed with these! Everything’s gathered on a round wooden pedestal that pulls the whole look together effortlessly.
