Foodie-Themed Home Finds that Make Us Go, Yes Chef!
Chef's kiss!
Sardine Girl Summer! Tomato-tinis! The Bear! Food is top of mind for us right now and all we want to do is fill our spaces with reminders of la dolce vita–Amalfi Coast lemons and all.
According to Etsy, we’re not alone in this feeling. The artisan marketplace shares that searches for all things food-related and cousin-approved are on the rise, a trend we also noticed earlier this year. According to the artisan marketplace, who have dubbed ‘Chef’s Kiss’ one of the hottest summer trends, shoppers are looking for chef’s jackets and fish charms as well as foodie-themed home decor.
When incorporating kitschy themes into interior design, there’s a thin line between eclectic and tacky but we are more than happy to help you sidestep the garish and land in the comfortably quirky zone. Here, we’ve rounded up 10 foodie home decor pieces that will blend seamlessly into the aesthetic of your home.
Oyster Bottle Opener, Mau House
Bar cart styling is a lost art that Coming Soon New York has taken it upon themselves to revive. The Canal Street boutique is full of unique treasures to dress up a space including this bronze bottle opener in the shape of an oyster. We love accessories that are both functional and beautiful and there’s something to be said about the romance of an oyster shell on a bar cart.
Price: $60
Summer Fruit Bud Vases, Anthropologie
Fruit-themed decor is having a moment and, as per usual, Anthropologie is dialed into the trend. These dainty glass summer fruit bud vases from AnthroLiving are a sweet way to display your stems.
Price: $18
Embroidered Seafood Coasters, Misette
Embroidered coasters in general add a touch of elegance to cocktail hour and these seafood-inspired designs are a subtle way to bring foodie home decor into the mix. We can totally envision these styled as part of a Pinterest dinner party tablescape with dirty martinis and fancy Portuguese tinned fish.
Price: $163
Cast Iron Tomato Cocotte, Staub
Why wouldn’t you want to combine tomato girl summer with exceptionally made cookware? This heavy duty cast iron cocotte from French culinary brand Staub is heirloom-worthy in every sense of the word. The eye-catching beefsteak-inspired pot deserves pride of place in the kitchen as a permanent fixture on the stove or counter.
Price: $289
Cocktail Candles, CandleLume
Continuing on with the bar cart decoration, it’s martini time! This Etsy seller artfully turns your favourite cocktail into a scented candle. Espresso Martini lovers can enjoy the comforting smell of roasted coffee beans, caramel and chocolate without having to wait until 5 pm. Or if a cosmo, mojito or dirty martini are more your vibe, they have those too.
Price: Starting at $28
Olive Oil Bottle, Maison Balzac
Maison Balzac has cornered the market on sophisticated foodie home decor. While we were looking for olive-shaped olive oil bottle (wouldn’t that be cute?) we stumbled upon this glass vessel that whispers olive rather than screams. Olive oil shouldn’t be stored in clear glass long-term but his piece is lovely for a tableside drizzle at your next dinner party.
Price: $179
Every Day's a Party Match Holder, Ban.dō
No one is doing culinarycore like Ban.dō. The kitschy LA design house gives the nostalgic food packaging of our youth new life in the form of butter carpets, picnic basket planters, foodie-themed vases and, our personal favourite, this cake match holder. The retro designs are great for bringing a pop of funky colour into any space.
Price: $20.95
Glass Eggplant Bottle, Alessandra Baldereschi
A glass water carafe at your bedside is one of those simple luxuries that make it easier to romanticize your life, and this Italian designer has an entire collection dedicated to beautiful fruit and vegetable-themed glass vessels. Alessandra Baldereschi flame-works borosilicate glass into functional pieces of art like this eggplant topped with green glass leaves and a stem that acts as a stopper.
Price: $155
Macaron Ottoman, Filobula
These macaron ottomans are so sweet they’re giving us a toothache. The elevated colour palette keeps the design from feeling too on-the-nose while still maintaining its cheekiness. People won’t necessarily clue in that the pillowy perches are meant to look like macarons at first, but we’ll know.
Price: $530
Murano Glass Candy Cutlery Rest, Gohar
Made from hand blown Murano glass, these candy cutlery rests are a delightful treat. Available as sets of two in 11 vibrant colours the delicate confectionary fills us with affection for grandmothers who hoard sweets at the bottom of their handbags.
Price: $55
