Sometimes getting new decor can meaning adding unnecessary items and also unwanted clutter into your home. I love beautiful statement pieces but our home is small which means that I really want and need items to be functional as well as decorative. This means that accessories all need to be useful as well as aesthetically pleasing in order to earn their place in the home.
Luckily there are lots of fantastic sunflower kitchen accessories and items like this one shown above that combine looks and practicality all rolled into one.
A glass cutting board is a very useful item. We have bamboo worktops so I like to use chopping and cutting boards that I can pick up and carry over to the bin to easily discard of any vegetable or fruit waste. And it’s also useful to pick up and scrape chopped items straight into a pan.
Having a cutting board keeps the worktop clean and helps to stop it from being ruined with knife marks. Some boards come in different size options so you could get a smaller size one as well as a larger one. Or you may want to check which size you prefer before you buy. A larger board will make more of a statement accessory for your sunflower themed kitchen.
Sunflower Design Trivet for the Kitchen
Another functional sunflower accessory for the kitchen is a trivet. This is a must if you want to protect your worktop from hot pans or kettles. We use an old-fashioned stove kettle for boiling water and have a trivet to place it on while it’s still hot. You can get one, not shown, that has a pretty, creamy scroll design background with a painterly like design of sunflowers on top.
🌻Think about matching up the design with other kitchen accessories and decor that you have. Sometimes kitchen accessories have a whole range of items available if you wish to match things up perfectly. Or use the colors and patterns that you have in your kitchen decor as inspiration for other accessories and items that will also work well together.
Eating, whether alone or with others, should always be a positive and thankful occasion to look forward to. Having your kitchen table set and decorated with this joyful sunflower theme will be something everyone can enjoy every mealtime.
There are plenty of sunflower tablecloths and also table runners to use although you could also use a plain color cloth and focus on having a wonderful centerpiece instead. If you’re lucky enough to grow your own plants then you can easily pop some into a vase for a quick, free and charmingly beautiful decoration.

A set of coasters can be useful in the kitchen if you have a table or counters where you will often enjoy a hot drink or beverage. I’m in the kitchen a lot since I use it for food preparation several times a day and I also iron in the room and do a bit of backyard bird watching.
Coasters are a must for all the drinks that are made and enjoyed in the room. These ones come supplied in a handy holder so they can be stored neatly away too. Because these are small, they also make a great gift idea for a friend or family member who also loves this flower.
I’ve picked out some key items that you can use to make a beautiful, themed table setting. I’m not suggesting that you use all these types of items and there is less of a trend now to have to match your table cloth up with the rest of the linen. In fact, it can look a little too much if everything has busy patterns splashed all over.
The key is to pick out a few nice pieces and then tie them together with a suitable color scheme. You could use a plain cream, yellow, orange or Fall red tablecloth and then have a patterned runner on top. Add some patterned mats and solid color napkins. Mix and match to get your own unique look.
