There are many home kitchen accessories which will turn your kitchen into a haven to cook in. Simple kitchen ware such as an apron, oven gloves, salt and pepper mills, and a compost caddy can all make life in the kitchen that little bit simpler.

Kitchen accessories is a hugely popular market. Many popular brands have emerged in the kitchen ware industry such as Cath Kidston, Lakeland and Emma Bridgwater as well as more traditional brands such as John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, and Debenhams.

Recipe books usually get short shrift in the kitchen so it can be nice to purchase a recipe book holder that looks elegant on your work surface even when it isn’t holding a book. Egg holders and kitchen roll holders can make everyday items appear tidy and easily accessible, and a cutlery drawer can be kept in order with a cutlery tray.

For the sink area, a good fitting washing up bowl can smarten up the area along with a tidy caddy to store the washing up liquid, cloths and brush. Sink strainers can also be a really useful and cheap way to stop dirt and left over food items making their way into your drains. Worktop corners can be made use of with a corner plate rack and if you have multiple chopping boards then a stacking rack can be useful to store these items too.

Owning an apron in the kitchen can stop your clothes getting splashed whilst you are cooking and oven gloves made of soft heat proof material or plastic silicone can stop you getting burned when taking items out from the oven.
