1. Modern Classic Kitchen Vignette

I love this look for its everyday elegance. It’s functionalβ€”with oil bottles, cookbooks, and chopping boardsβ€”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 wayβ€”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 textureβ€”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 stylersβ€”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 paletteβ€”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 bunchβ€”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 grindersβ€”so obsessed with these! Everything’s gathered on a round wooden pedestal that pulls the whole look together effortlessly.
