Kitchen 101: PoM's Tips for Adding Personality

We spend lots of time in our kitchens, so it’s only natural that we want them to be a reflection of our personalities. The place where we cook for ourselves and others, should be a space that adds to the atmosphere of enjoying the time spent making and eating those meals.

Depending on what kind of kitchen one needs to help create delicious dishes, we've come up with a short Pop of Modern list for items and tips on adding some delightful personality to the kitchen. We also recommend them for an easy update to the kitchen and/or to help create more unique recipes stylishly at home.

Here are some of the best PoM kitchen decor products for your home:

1. Decorative Glasswares

Both our Mexican Handblown Glasses and Moroccan Cone Glassware sets are artisan made from recycled glass, the origins of which make great conversation pieces to share over drinks with family and friends. 

2. Utensil Sets

Our utensil sets (with or without ceramic holders) provide a unified stylish design element to the kitchen, plus their practical and quality-backed application makes cooking with them a lot of fun!

3. Condiment Sets

The Condiment Containers (set of 4) are a great way to display homemade jams, sauces, and condiments. Even if they contain non-homemade deliciousness, it is a great way to serve-up meals that one can individually flavor and savor 'how-they-like-it.' They're made in the USA from porcelain and wood, and are such a modern way to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner together.

4. Hot Pads

Who doesn't need hot pads?! Trick question, we all do, whether for protecting surfaces or precious hands from hot dishes straight-out-of-the-oven, hot pads are a definitive MUST in the kitchen. Pop of Modern's Luxe Hot Pads (set of 3) are handmade by local artist Luxe by Linda. They come in various colors from traditional to rad and are a great way to support the arts and add personality to the kitchen.

5. Pendant Lighting

Adding pendant lighting to the kitchen over an island or next to a space or piece of furniture to highlight the storing of treasured and daily-used items, is a great way to make a kitchen stylish and inviting. Also placing pendant lighting where all the magic happens in the kitchen helps to add warmth, free-up work space, and even invites others to join in on the action.
