Kitchen styling is the easiest way to transform your cooking space from drab to fab. Accouterments like gorgeous salt and pepper mills, carefully chosen vases, or a high-quality utensil dispenser, elevate your countertops and shelves with no remodel required. In Meg Ryan's kitchen, the most functional styling is the most effective.

The actress's black-and-white kitchen is transformed by a black kettle perched on the stovetop. Though a kettle can often be an eyesore to be tucked away in an appliance garage when guests come over or a purely functional item that lives in the bottom cabinets, Ryan harnesses the power of matching this seemingly simple item. The black of its surface is a beautiful contrast against the white and gray marble of her backsplash and seems to extend the cooktop of her iconic La Cornue stove up.

Its matte appearance introduces a new texture against the shimmer of the marble. In addition to the color, Ryan elevates her kitchen by choosing a stovetop kettle with a sculptural shape. The intricate handle and short, curved spout of her kettle differ from the rest of the clean lines throughout the space making it all the more visually appealing.

Luckily, there is a gorgeous kettle to elevate your kitchen decor no matter your style. Elevated Gold Knob When you shop with Le Creuset, you can pretty much guarantee you are getting something incredible, and this whistling kettle is no exception. The black and gold design would look gorgeous on a black stovetop.
