Anthropologie’s Best Kitchenware Will Make You Look Forward to Cooking

Revamp your table setting with these stunning red motif dinner plates from Anthropologie’s Lyla collection. They have flourished edges that are inspired by flower petals, making the perfect transition into spring decor, and each piece is hand painted to give it that unique touch. Best of all, the set of four plates is dishwasher and microwave safe.

“They are the perfect addition to my glass collection,” says one Anthropologie buyer. The next time you host a dinner party with your girlfriends, whip out these chromatic glasses for a colorful tablescape that delights. It’s important to note that the borosilicate glass is delicate, and it’s recommended to hand wash them after using. The set of four wine glasses comes in a few different color options, from the array of quartz tones pictured above to earth tones and a set of sky blue or pink glasses. “I love the shape, color and the quality is great,” the reviewer adds.

Speaking of wine, you’re going to need a way to display your favorite varietals. Enter: this gorgeous, handcrafted marble three-bottle holder that you’re going to want to show off to your house guests. “This is the nicest wine holder I've ever had,” admits a reviewer. “It looks a lot more expensive than it is, and it is HEAVY! [It’s] really great quality and doubles as a display piece.”

With Easter and spring gatherings around the corner, adding something as simple as a seasonal table runner like this embroidered, scalloped beauty can really enhance your tablescape. The cotton runner measures 90 inches by 16 inches and can always be folded in half to fit smaller tables, or draped dramatically off either end. It’s safe to throw in the washing machine, too, so you don’t have to sweat if a guest happens to spill an appetizer on it.

If you’re looking for a birthday treat to spoil your BFF with or a Mother’s Day gift for the mom who’s always drinking multiple cups of coffee a day, this monogram mug is perfect. The bestselling mugs are made from shimmering 24k gold-decaled glazed stoneware and mosaic-inspired motifs for a French twist that any Francophile will love. My only qualm is that they need to be hand washed, but I don’t mind giving this a quick rinse in the sink if it means I get to enjoy a bit of Paris at home.

There’s nothing better than eating a meal out on your patio when the weather’s nice, but seeing flies swarm over your food mid-conversation is a total buzz kill. Good news, this mesh food cover can get rid of your headaches when you’re not chowing down. It comes with a serving tray made from acacia wood and bamboo as well as the mesh food cover, and the chic look is an added bonus to your outdoor setup.

Now that you have the table runner and colorful wine glasses, another easy way to instantly elevate your tablescape is with a head-turning glass pitcher like this handblown beauty from Anthropologie. It’s a popular piece amongst Anthro buyers, too. “This pitcher is gorgeous, and I’m surprised that I’m gushing over a water pitcher,” a buyer says.  “I think it elevates the dining table, and it is just so pretty.”

I don’t know about you, but reaching for a sip of orange juice out of this Icon glass in the morning and seeing the croissants hand pressed into the handblown glass would instantly put me in a good mood. The collection has nearly 2,600 stellar reviews on the retailer’s site, too, and there are a whopping 25 styles to choose from. I’m thinking about snagging the chili pepper glasses for Margarita night and a few horseshoe cups for a cowboy themed party.

Bring a little bit of Portugal into your home with this luxe set of four pasta bowls made in, you guessed it, Portugal, that will make you feel like you’re dining in Porto or Lisbon. One buyer says, “I love these bowls! They are the perfect size and easily the most used bowls in my house.” Plus, you can totally use them for salads, stir fry and so much more, and the glazed stoneware are dishwasher and microwave safe, too.

Now I’d bet a cocktail napkin isn’t top of mind for most people, but if you want to look like a pro hostess at your next gathering, invest in these darling cocktail napkins. The set of four features an embroidered scalloped border that adds such a sweet pop against the cotton fabric, it’s no wonder they’re an Anthropologie favorite. “These cocktail napkins are adorable and well-made. They add a nice pop of color and flare to any cocktail hour,” notes one reviewer.

Do yourself a favor and recycle the plastic containers you buy your strawberries in immediately after you get home from your grocery run, then put your fruit in this hand painted and glazed berry basket. I can guarantee it’ll have you reaching for a strawberry more than you normally would.

If you’ve been using the same silverware for years now, this may be your sign to upgrade your flatware drawer with this 20-piece set that includes four dinner forks, four salad forks, four dinner knives, four dinner spoons and four teaspoons. “This set has elevated my dining room table,” says a buyer. “The silverware is sturdy, [and] the stems do feel very narrow (think of holding a chopstick), which can be odd when trying to get leverage.” It’s available in a black and sand finish, and it is made from a dishwasher safe stainless steel.

The only thing more satisfying than baking a homemade cake is displaying it on a beautiful cake stand like this decaled piece from Anthropologie. “This cake stand is gorgeous! I am obsessed with the pattern and how beautiful this looks paired with the matching cake dome from the Etta collection,” mentions a customer. It’ll really take your dessert creations from great to Insta-worthy in no time.

I’ve quickly come to learn that one of the most important items in any English household is the kettle, and this limited-edition electric one is not only pretty with its mosaic-inspired motifs and 24k gold decals, it’s also insanely convenient. Whether you prefer a ‘cuppa’ tea or piping hot pour-over coffee, this kettle can accommodate seven cups of water to make you multiples of your favorite hot drink. It also lights up when the water starts to boil and will automatically shut off after a certain amount of time for safety purposes.

While you’re at it, give your mug an upgrade, too, with a cup that’s made for dog lovers. I’m obsessed with this hand painted mug not just because it looks like it belongs in a museum or is dishwasher and microwave safe, but because there’s a cute little dachshund on it. (You can also get it with a golden retriever or pointer pup.)

Why use your boring butter knives for everything when you can swap them out for this set of six spreaders? The eye-catching pieces are made of resin, which gives them that mesmerizing finish. Many customers love their retro and funky aesthetic, though some do note that they don’t have sharp edges, so while they might not be ideal for cutting into anything hard, they’re great for spreading things like jams, butters and soft cheeses.

A quality oven mitt is probably one of the most underrated pieces in any kitchen. This floral number is made from a flax linen and includes a handy hanging loop that you can use to display it when you’re not using (because it’s that cute). One buyer says: “I have been looking for this style of oven mitt to replace some I [bought] from Anthro years ago, and these are so pretty. I find this style so much easier to use then the kind with a spot for your thumb that looks more like a mitten.” Trust me, that functional and thoughtful design is such a game changer in the kitchen.

Have I ever seen a fruit bowl as chic as this wood and marble footed piece? No, I most certainly have not, and neither have a lot of Anthro customers. “[It’s the] most beautiful bowl I have ever seen,” gushes one reviewer. “I can’t believe I have it in my kitchen. It’s so BEAUTIFUL, top quality and it’s bigger than I thought, so it’s even better [than what I expected].”
