Martha Stewart loves the 'central role' our kitchens play in our daily lives – so she designed these pieces to make them easier
'Over the years, I’ve designed many kitchens for my homes and have learned so much in the process': Here's the result of her knowledge
No space influences our everyday like the kitchen, and nobody knows the kitchen like Martha Stewart – so what happens when you bring them together? We're left with her eponymous essentials range that's currently shoppable via QVC – and in true Stewart style, her products are as stylish as they are functional.
'I've always loved kitchens and the central role they play in our daily lives with family and friends. Over the years, I’ve designed many kitchens for my homes and have learned so much in the process,' Stewart shared via her blog back when she designed her kitchenware collection for The Home Depot. Nearly a century later, the guru's ideology remains the same.
It's easy to see why Stewart is so attached to her kitchen. The lifestyle guru has an enviable property portfolio spanning from Katonah, New York, to Westport, Connecticut, and Seal Harbor, Maine – all of which uphold a traditional country aesthetic that's best celebrated in the kitchen. With that said, however, her pieces are versatile enough to work in every style of home – whether we've embraced classic style (like her) or a modern kitchen alternative.
Ideal for perfectly cooked stir-fried delicacies, deep-fried delights, and one-pot meals, this stainless steel pan is essential for anyone cooking up their culinary favorites. It's versatile and durable, and we'll wonder how we made meals without it.
Designed to be beautiful enough to go straight from the oven to the table, this mini covered casserole dish is the perfect size and shape to showcase (and serve) all foods, whether it's a homemade pasta dish or our go-to dessert.
Arguably, nothing looks quite as timeless as rattan, so what better way to elevate our tablescape than with a Stewart-designed twist on the classic? This placemat is constructed of 100% rattan material in a basket woven style – for ageless and durable style.
This three-piece stoneware offers everything we need to prep and bake various sized bathes of home-cooked goodies (while looking stylish in the process). We love the soft mint green hue that feels cool but classic, and deserves a place on every countertop.
Ideal for use beyond the kitchen, these glass canisters are perfect for decanted foods, alongside toiletries in the bathroom, or candles in the living room. Their glass construction makes showing off (or storing) good easy.
Whether we're planning a formal dinner party or a more intimate, informal meal with friends, this ceramic dinnerware set makes eating (and hosting) even more joyful. We love the scintillating rims and bold-tone edges that fit with every tablescape, no matter how dressy.
