It’s natural to be ready for change when spring hits. The birds are singing, the flowers are opening, and the humdrum of winter is getting farther and farther away in the rearview. What better time than now to invest in some cute kitchen gadgets and appliances to freshen up your decor and sweeten your routine?
You may have noticed that designers have recently introduced a number of fun, unique, and aesthetic kitchen gadgets and pretty kitchen appliances that make your life a whole lot easier — and a whole lot cuter. Forget the bedroom and living room: when it comes to gadgets and appliances, the kitchen is clearly where you can get the most bang for your redecorating buck.
A coffee maker is the first kitchen tool many of us encounter in the morning. Make that encounter as appealing as possible with the 10-cup HADEN Dorchester Ultra programmable drip coffee maker for sale at Crate & Barrel. Available as shown in Silt Green, as well as White, Black, Pebble Gray, and Stone Blue.
If your tastes run a touch more sophisticated than hot bean water, upgrading your espresso maker is an investment in an important daily experience. We love the simplicity and elegance of the Café Bellissimo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine available at Williams-Sonoma. Choose between Matte White (shown above), Matte Black or Silver. (All colors come with copper accents.) This espresso maker isn’t just a pretty kitchen appliance though. It’s Wi-Fi-enabled to sync with the SmartHQ app so you can make adjustments to the temperature and strength of your beverages on the fly.
Speaking of upgrading your espresso or coffee makers, you would be just as wise to upgrade your mugs to these 12-ounce enamelware beauties from Crow Canyon (who’ve been making similar products since 1977). Available in three color combinations (apple and mint, pink and mustard, and tomato and smoke blue (above), they’re dishwasher-safe and ready to use in just about every setting except microwaves. Campfire-friendly.
4. Form, Function, and Fun with Measuring Cups and Measuring Spoons
When it comes to cute kitchen products, measuring cups and measuring spoons really take the cake. From whimsical to stylized, these workhorses need to be highly usable above all. We love the Goldenrod Ceramic Measuring Cups above from Anthropologie because of their fresh take on a classic design – and also because they are easily stackable, compact and dishwasher-safe.

5. Stylish Refrigerators at All Sizes
Forget the metallics and dull, dark colors of the last 30 years – pretty kitchen appliances are the rage today. Well-designed and artfully colored refrigerators definitely fit into aesthetic, well-decorated homes better than giant hunks of industrial-looking plastic and metal. Answering the call is the compact, stylish 8.7-cubic-foot choice above from Home Depot. It packs a lot into a small footprint, including a wine rack – all for less than $1000. Shown in Ocean Mist Turquoise but also available in Candy Red, Marshmallow White, Midnight Black, Powder Blue, Robin Egg Blue, and Summer Mint Green.
6. Salt and Pepper Shakers to Shake Up the Ordinary
Cute kitchen gadgets and salt and pepper shakers go hand in hand, but there may be none cuter or more charming than the GAMAGO polar bear and black bear snow globe shakers pictured above. Unlike real snow globes, they’re made of plastic to increase the durability and decrease the fingerprints. And unlike real bears, they won’t attack you or rummage through your trash.
7. An Air Fryer That is So Much More Than an Air Fryer
The 21-quart Neretva Air Fryer Oven not only looks great on a countertop, it can bake, toast, roast, preserve, dry, and defrost – all in addition to air frying. Large enough to serve a group, it can handle chicken wings, French fries, pizza, pork ribs, sausage, steak and more – quickly and aesthetically. You can even dehydrate fruit in this stylish, all-purpose, and cute kitchen appliance.
8. Oven Mitts to Protect and Pamper Your Paws
The OXO Good Grips silicone potholder made the recent New York Times list of best oven mitts, with the reviewer noting that, “it was able to protect our hands the longest of any potholder we tested…” Available in Black (as pictured), Jam, Oat, and Seltzer from Amazon, this waterproof potholder is flame-, stain-, and steam-resistant and can double as a trivet. Sold as single items, not in sets.
