Today an inspiration blog if you want to give your kitchen an Italian touch. That is very easy to achieve with these smart tips for Italian kitchen accessories.

1. Mocha jar

The Moka Express or espresso pot is standard in every Italian kitchen and should therefore also be present in your Dutch or Belgian kitchen. Even if you never use it (which is not recommended), it still looks so cozy near the stove. Oh yes, the moka pot is of course also very handy at the campsite.

2. Pizza Cutter

A little 'Italian' kitchen has a pizza cutter in the drawer. Be careful though, because that blade is very sharp. Even better is to hang it up so that everyone can see that you eat pizza regularly.

3. Pasta Machine

A pasta machine also works well in the kitchen. Of course, this is primarily intended for making pasta, but you also have them in nice pastel colors that immediately give your kitchen an Italian atmosphere.

Pro-tip: on bol.com you will find pasta machines in all shapes and sizes.

4. Italy apron

In an Italian apron you are a walking cliché, but to put it in good Italian: who cares? Surely you are in charge of your own kitchen. Besides, there really are other aprons than the one with the bare ass at the back and the one with that Italian pizza chef with a mustache.

5. Fridge Magnets

Very easy and fun: during your trips to Italy, collect fridge magnets that you can buy in every village. Those gray days at home will immediately cheer you up if you think back every day to all those nice places in Italy that you have visited.

6. Pizza and pasta plates

What do you often do in the kitchen? Exactly, food. And as Italy aficionados, you probably enjoy a tasty pizza and pasta on a regular basis. A small investment in pizza and pasta plates is therefore always recommended.

If you really want to do it right, choose Italian ceramics that you get from Italy yourself. But you will also find pizza and pasta plates at the web shops here, which immediately make it more enjoyable at the table.

7. Posters on the Wall

Is your Low Countries kitchen still a bit bare? Then choose some of those beautiful Italy posters that will immediately give you an Italian atmosphere kitchen injects.

8. Everything from Alessi

Of course you know Alessi as an Italy lover. They have everything for the kitchen. From bowls to corkscrews and from a set of knives to coffee makers. Just pick something with the signature Alessi design and you'll be fine.

9. Coffee cups with your own print

Also fun: drinking (Italian) coffee from coffee cups with your own print. Have your own coffee cups printed and you will enjoy your daily ritual even more.

10. A calendar with Italian landscapes

Sure, it can be that simple. Just hang a calendar with Italian views on a nail and you're done. You can immediately count down until that day when you can travel to Italy again…

You can also easily make such an Italy calendar yourself, for example with Canva and a color printer (image: SunnyCalenders)

What kind of stuff do you have in your kitchen with an Italian look?
