How to Add French Style to Your Kitchen

If you’re ready to add some French style to your home, la cuisine (the kitchen) is an easy place to start. From blue floral china and classic Duralex glassware to a French press that you can pass down for generations to come, here are a few suggestions for frenchifying your kitchen. 

1. French Press by Le Creuset

This durable stoneware French press by Le Creuset won’t shatter like your typical glass French press — which is great news if you’re as accident-prone as I am. It comes in a dozen different colors, and it is dishwasher-safe. Shop here

2. Duralex Picardie Glass Tumbler

I fell in love with these glasses not in France, but at The Ordinary oyster bar in Charleston, S.C. I immediately went out and bought a set for myself, and they’re still going strong more than a decade later. This French brand is known for making virtually indestructible glassware, and they’re reasonably priced, too. Shop here

3. Cotton Bistro Stripe Napkins

These cotton bistro stripe napkins come in either blue or red. They’re also wrinkle-resistant, which means you won’t have to waste your precious time ironing them. Shop here

4. Compagnie de Provence Hand Soap

This is a lot more than I’d normally spend on hand soap, but you can reuse the glass bottle for years. I’ve lost track of how long I’ve had mine! The soap comes in lovely scents like lavender, rosemary, and pamplemousse (grapefruit).  Shop here

5. Blue Floral Dessert Plates

This style of china is all over French brocantes, but if you can’t make it to France to buy them, these are pretty good knock-offs. Bonus: Because they’re new, you don’t have to worry about the potential of lead paint. Shop here

6. Provencal Salt Mill

This blue and white salt mill from Fletcher’s Mill is actually handmade in Maine but has an undeniably French look. Get the matching pepper grinder to complete the set. Shop here

7. Le Parfait Jam Jar 

If you’re trying to cut back on plastic in the kitchen, these jars are ideal for food storage. They come in tons of different sizes, with a rubber seal to maintain freshness. Shop here

8. Laguiole Cheese Knives

This three-piece cheese knife set includes a cheese knife, fork, and spreader with resin handles in red, white, and blue. They’re made by Jean Dubost, a fourth-generation, family-run French company that specializes in knives and flatware. Shop here

9. Apron

Perfect for baking or gardening, this chambray apron is made from 100% cotton. And it’s only $10! Shop here
