Copper canisters
- From $49.95; www.williams-sonoma.com.
Ease into the latest metallic trend with recycled copper containers. The four sizes (each sold separately) add panache to a kitchen, but more importantly, keep dry goods fresh with an airtight silicone seal.
Stoneware jars
- $29.50 each; potterybarn.com.
Flour and sugar would do well in these air-tight ceramic jars—as would cookies. But these vessels are pretty enough to live outside the kitchen, too. Stow the lid and use them as vases, or place them on a shelf as a pretty accent.
Knife organizer
No more fumbling to match the knife to its corresponding slot in a wood block. This stainless steel carousel is designed so every blade fits in each spot—they rest on the handle and hang down, secured by magnets.
Breadbox
- $39.99; Polder.com.
Even if it didn’t keep bread fresh for days, the retro styling is reason enough to keep this powder-coated steel bin on the counter. It measures 16.5 inches by 9 inches.
Window canisters
- $39.99/set of three; Polder.com.
Never run out of chocolate chips again. The windows in these stainless steel canisters let you know when you’re running low of your favorite pantry goods.
Coffee pod carousel
- $30; www.keurig.com.
Bleary mornings just got easier: This handsome dispenser holds 20 coffee pods (from any of Keurig’s systems) in four columns—and swivels so it’s easy to find your favorite flavor.
Utensil holder
- $120; nativetrails.net.
Keep your MVP spoons and spatulas right at your fingertips with this wide-mouth vessel. The hammered copper is a smart addition to both traditional and industrial-style kitchens.
