Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking. We sought out the best and brightest kitchenware to help you deck out your kitchen in time for the best season of the year.
1. Keep a vase on hand for a spring bouquet
This thing is the coolest. It looks (and stores) like a cellophane bag until you fill it with water. Then, it immediately turns into a stable, reusable vase. You can pop fresh-cut buds into it, or opt for the luminaries that hold floating candles.

2. Opt for artful salt and pepper shakers
These gorgeous handmade shakers are made of elk antlers and hammered copper. Of course they’re beautiful and artful, but they have a serious enchanted forest vibe that may inspire you to venture out for a trail hike.

3. Personal griddles look better in pastels
Struggling with portion control? This adorable little griddle is perfect for cooking up individual-sized servings without turning on your oven or stove in warmer months.
