Kitchen Canister Set Types, Styles and Colors

If you are having your dream kitchen installed and are looking for ways to finish your stunning new look or just want to give your existing kitchen a new lease of life examine the many possibilities a kitchen canister set can bring to your kitchen.

Ceramic Kitchen Canisters

There are many sets with air tights seals to ensure the contents are kept fresh. Often when looking for country kitchen canisters ceramic is a good choice as the materials have been used for many years and the designs tend to fit well into a traditional style. Vintage kitchen canisters are often in ceramic also, but of course there are also contemporary versions so do not limit yourself when exploring ideas. For the retro look opt for markets and stalls or car boot sales, sometimes second hand shops will have beautiful items in display in very good condition and fantastic prices. Newer versions can be found in the shops if you want to spend your money in the latest stock. For both options check out eBay, Amazon, Ruby Lane, Go Antiques and Shop Goodwill Auctions.

Metal Canisters

Copper kitchen canisters will also compliment a country, or vintage style kitchen as well as a more modern design. Pewter sets are also available and slightly more unusual, though you will have to pay the price dearly. Horchow stocks an absolutely amazing collection of the most breathtaking canisters; prices range from two numbers to the hundreds, but it is most definitely worth a look. Check out their beautiful handbag cookie jars to extra-accessorize your kitchen.

Stainless steel kitchen canisters are really up to the minute and can bring any kitchen into the 21st century. Metals come in matt finishes or have a high shine to give different looks according to your style. If you are looking for a Tuscan style, metals such as bronze and copper, work very well.

Colored Canisters

Red kitchen canisters are really having a revival and there are some super varieties worth looking at. Lime green and jades are also very fashionable at the moment, but don’t forget that classic blue or white tend to be timeless and if you are looking to introduce a new shade to compliment your existing colors. Decorative kitchen canisters include ideas such as fleur de lis designs in a dramatic pistachio. Again, Horchow offers a vast arrange of very decorative ones in all sort of colors as well as styles and shapes. Be ready to spend a bit of money to acquire most of their kitchen canister sets, which are little treasures to behold.

Glass Kitchen Canisters

Glass comes in many colors and styles so whilst if you want the contents on display clear glass or pastel shades may be more translucent, but if you want to conceal your food items there are many darker colors. Red canisters in glass can be particularly effective whether you are looking to achieve a retro style type of home decoration or a highly modern finish.

Glass Kitchen Canisters – Sparking up your Kitchen Corners

Glass Kitchen Canisters – Sparking up your Kitchen Corners

A quick easy and cost effective way to bring some life back into your kitchen is the addition ofgla glass kitchen canisters. You do not have to have a brand new fully fitted kitchen to get a designer look in your home. Neither do you have to spend a lot of money when it comes to certain kitchen accessories. What people look for mainly is that individuality that makes the kitchen yours. Sometimes, it is the little things that make all the difference. Canisters are always a great addition in terms of functionality and as decorative items. If you are considering glass canisters, for kitchen effect and practicality, don’t just look at standard clear glass kitchen canister sets, but rather go for originality. It is the simple ideas that usually go a long way!

So, if you intend to use clear glass there are many shapes you can draw on, square glass is effective when used along side oval or round glass. Do not think that uniformity is necessarily the way to go when it comes to either traditional or more contemporary glass kitchen canister sets. Look at retro glass to get ideas and if your kitchen could really do with a full revamp; a lick of paint and the addition of a retro kitchen canister set can help set the style so it pulls the look together giving an intended retro look without breaking the bank.

The beauty of the glass kitchen canister set is that with a little thought the mixing and matching of various sizes shapes and colors can add to fantastic results; rather than detract from both the style and functionality of your canisters. Cobalt blue, green or red glass all look sophisticated while still adding the clean and sparking look. Pick the colors so they match with the rest of your kitchen decor. Decorating with clear canisters is easy and can be achieved in no time. Keep in mind that clear bubble is young looking and adds a touch of fun, while the fleur de lis canister together with the Art Italica – which mixes the baroque style and clear glass – are great for the sophisticated or grand kitchens.

Herbs and spices sit nicely displayed in small glass kitchen canisters, but if you use differing styles for herbs there is less chance of them being placed amongst the spices. This can be a practical help if you tend to be a bit hit and miss in the kitchen or the children are not terribly good at putting things back in the correct place. If you are using clear glass kitchen canisters to display different levels of pasta, rice, spices, etc, make sure they are not anywhere near where children can reach. These tend to look “pretty” and enticing especially for the little ones; we don’t want to risk the children near decorative items that can also be quite dangerous.

Tip: another benefit is glass has an easy to clean surface, a quick wipe with a soapy sponge and all the sticky fingerprints that get left behind in a busy kitchen are soon gone. You may also want to check ceramic kitchen canisters and the Fiesta kitchen canister sets.

Whether blue, green, red or clear, glass will always add a touch of class and sophistication to the look of your kitchen thus adding to your home decoration with its distinctive touch. It is modern, clean and will illuminate and spark up any corner in the room.

Kitchen Canisters: Organize and Beautify your Kitchen at the Same Time

Kitchen Canisters: Organize and Beautify your Kitchen at the Same Time

If you are having a new fitted kitchen or just sprucing up your existing kitchen, a good way to get a completed look is with kitchen canisters. You will need to think about what you are trying to achieve, it is important to know exactly what look you want before rushing out to buy any of the kitchen storage canisters available in the market. There are many classic and modern styles to choose from, from glass kitchen canisters to ceramic kitchen canisters, or the quaint retro kitchen canisters, so do not rush such an important decision as it will affect your kitchen decor and you definitely want to make sure these beautiful accessories add the final touches.

Styles

Start by considering your storage needs, then think about your dream kitchen. What inspiring design would complete your ideal kitchen? If you have had new kitchen cabinets or worktops fitted, there are many kitchen canister sets and kitchen supplies utensils that will match or coordinate your new fittings to give a stylish look to the traditional, country kitchen or the more modern or cutting edge design. Corelle canisters have elegant lines with colored accents and classic country styles while stainless steel kitchen canisters might be what you need to complement your dream modern kitchen.

For a more traditional look you may want to look into the possibilities of copper kitchen canisters, copper will not smash in the way ceramic may, but think about the cleaning involved here. If you have a young family that are always getting into the currant jar, the sticky finger prints may cause a problem so choose a style that is both durable and versatile. Your lifestyle is an important factor when contemplating choices for any aspect of your home.

If scrolls and script are to your taste then fleur de lis kitchen canisters may be the exact thing you are looking for. Don’t be put off by memories of the 1980s styles, the style of kitchen canisters has come a long way since then. For a more contemporary look the designers take the traditional themes and update the ideas to enable designs to fit into the most contemporary or traditional setting.

Do you want storage jars rather than the whole kitchen canister set? Often a well placed item or two can have the desired affect. Perhaps only a flour canister is what is required. Even if you don’t cook much with flour you could use it to store biscuits, cookies or loaf bread. Fiesta canisters have a varied range in lots of colors including the ever popular red and/or yellow, and also including a large kitchen canister suitable for flour. Just an element or two of a special range such as the Crosby Taylor canister set may be all that is needed to complement your kitchen.

Your Budget

Budget will be an important aspect of any type of home decoration and you can compare prices on line if you do not want to trawl the shops. With so many styles of kitchen storage canisters to confuse and inspire you, research is very important. Keep in mind what you need and are trying to achieve. Do you want to go for contemporary glass in black rather than clear glass perhaps with additional kitchen supplies utensils? Will the more inexpensive canister set range have the same effect? Are colors your priority, or is it more a case of size and functionality? All these factors need to be consider when setting off to purchase your kitchen canisters.

Tip: when the novelty has worn off you can always place them in a different area in your kitchen. It is amazing to see how many people forget about this simple but effective home decor idea.

If you need more than one set, mix them to play around with the colors. Or buy individual ones and mix and match. They will definitely add dimension to your kitchen top.

In terms of sizes, you can find large canister crocks, medium ones (which can be also used as a jar to keep your cookies fresh) and the smaller versions (sugar, sea salt, salt, etc).

Canister sets for kitchen are also highly collectable, and although the Fiesta make is not particularly inexpensive, it does add a fantastic touch to the country style kitchen (as well as overall great quality as they offer really tight seal). You will be able to find them in places like Macy’s, Dillard’s, JCPenney and Sears, and on the Internet check on eBay for more rare pieces and Amazon.com. If buying off the Internet, always make sure you check the Fiesta logo is engraved in the canisters and that the air tight seal gasket is intact.

Ceramic Kitchen Canisters: Adding Color to your Kitchen

12 Apr


Elegant, timeless, classic, charming, practical and colorful; ceramic kitchen canisters offer the perfect storage solution for your kitchen needs. Adding color to your kitchen is essential if you want to move away from the traditional white functional room: a kitchen should be synonym of fun while we do our cooking, a place to gather for coffee and chats, and so it should look inviting as well as cozy. While home decoration is usually not an easy task, at the time of choosing the right accessories for any room we can allow ourselves to think a bit more laterally; adding the final touches can be a lot of fun as well as inexpensive. Being creative with these accessories is key if you want your kitchen to stand out or make it unique. Functionality is always important, but more than often accessories can also do a fantastic job as decorative items.

Popular Colors

The most popular ceramic kitchen canister colors are usually white, red, black and blue. Depending on your kitchen decor you would choose accordingly; or mix the colors to add some spice. A white kitchen canister set will add elegance as white is the symbol of class and sophistication, and should go well with any style. It is the more traditional color and still the most popular canister set in the market. Villa Verde, by Wilfred Ceramics makes beautiful delicate sets for the sophisticated look, while an Emile Henry’s canister simplicity will look very charming on your worktop. The plain ceramic is just gorgeous and the canisters come with a lid. Black is also synonym of elegance and many people have opted for this color when it comes to their home decor. Oggi supplies black sets with hinged airtight lids and locking clamp closure. Black also mixes well with other colors, and you will be able to find beautiful Italian sets; check out Evitavonni for a classic style that mixes black with a colorful fruit still life. Fiesta also makes a simple but stunning black canister.

Red is symbol of energy and radiance. Fruit shaped red canisters like red apples or strawberries will add that summery feel to your kitchen. Check out Mamma Ro’s shiny small canister or add the Tuscan Red if you’re looking for something a little more glamorous. Cobalt blue is absolutely glorious and will make any corner in the kitchen stand out. Fiesta’s solid blue is full of life or if you’re only after a touch of blue but a clear glass canister, check out the almost unbreakable Cristar set of three.

Budgeting

Spend your money wisely and buy the perfect ceramic kitchen canisters that will go well with your decor and general style. Some pieces are a lot more expensive than others, especially when you buy branded ones. Fiesta, for example, can be a bit on the dearer side while other unknown brands will cost you a third of the price. Think of functionality as well as the decorative aspect of these accessories. Sometimes the more inexpensive ones will add the effect we are looking for so there will be no need to spend more than the necessary amount. Whatever the case, there is no doubt that colorful canisters add a wonderful touch as color is really the spice of life!
