10 buys from Dunelm that will instantly upgrade your kitchen

Whether or not you’re committed to fridgescaping (that’s curating Instagrammable arrangements of groceries in your fridge, for the uninitiated) this ceramic crate is a brilliantly versatile piece. In addition to acting as storage, it can also be used as a colander to make rinsing produce a breeze. There are coordinating small and large models to complete the set.

If you’re going to give up precious counter space to a spoon rest, you’ll want it to look as chic as possible. This ivory ceramic option absolutely fits that bill – it’ll save your worktops from sauce-robed utensils, while its sculpted shape makes it mercifully quick to clean.

With a rich, characterful wood grain and playful asymmetric shape, this board will serve you well (pun intended) for years to come. Pile it high with bread, cheese, charcuterie or canapés – and when it’s not in use, you can prop it up on a shelf or on the side to add visual interest to the space.

No kitchen should be without a reliable measuring jug, especially if it happens to be as aesthetically pleasing as this one. Here, the speckle glaze gives it a timeless, rustic charm, while its gently tapered spout makes it easy to pour without splattering.

Soft, absorbent and just £4 apiece, these tea towels are just as elegant – and effective – as their pricier counterparts. Made of 100% cotton, woven into a waffle texture with frayed edging, the warm olive and cosy caramel colour combo are the perfect way to add a touch of Scandi warmth to your kitchen.

Bowl food is soul food, and this piece is the perfect incentive to make more of it. Curved, tactile and a natural on camera, it's a surefire way to up your food presentation game. If you love the reactive glaze look, it’s also available in a selection of plates and serve platters.

It’s rare to find an apron you’d be happy to still be wearing when dinner party guests arrive, but Dunelm has proved it possible with this understated piece. The crossback straps are adjustable for a tailored fit, protecting your outfit from stains, while the pockets allow you to keep necessities to hand as you work.

With these spoons in your stash, you’ll never find yourself guestimating a tsp of baking powder or tbsp of paprika again. Each piece in this thoughtfully-crafted quartet also has a small lip for pouring liquids such as milk, honey, or alcohol, so you can rest safe in the knowledge that all of your ingredient quantities are accurate.

While we’re on the subject of accuracy, we’ll also direct your attention to these equally handy matching measuring cups. Made from sturdy stoneware and in a coordinating contemporary colour palette, they’re so premium they’d even make a thoughtful gift for the keen cook or baker in your life.

When the occasion is more midweek roast than major gathering, a compact oven dish like this is ideal. It’s ovenproof up to 230 degrees and dishwasher safe, so whatever’s on the menu, efficient cooking and straightforward clean-up come as standard. It’ll fast become a kitchen staple that you’ll wonder how you ever rustled up dinner without.
