Tartan stoneware platter Available from Anthropologie (£48) A statement platter is an essential for a Christmas table. We fell in love with the colourful tartan border and pink centre of this glazed stoneware dish.

You'll be reaching for it long after the festive season is over. Available from: Anthropologie (£48) White marble cheeseboard with cutlery Available from What a Host (£76.49) It's always worth saving room for cheese at Christmas, and this chic cheeseboard set lets you serve up in style. Made from solid white marble, it will keep your cheeses cool – it would also be great for a charcuterie board, or serving up Christmas leftover cold cuts. The gold cheese knives add that extra festive touch.

Think lacquered finishes, glossy baubles, cherry-hued candles and stand-out accessories that bring instant cheer to your table and home. But this isn’t just about one-month wonder buys. Cherry is not just for Christmas! We’re championing pieces you’ll love all year round – from soft linens in muted berry tones to high-shine enamel and deep cherry-red glassware that feels festive now but effortlessly stylish come January and beyond.

Get ready to pile high with anything from salads to roast potatoes or a stack of brownies. Available from: Anthropologie (£48) The Conran Shop Nova Stripe Crystal Glasses Available from Selfridges (£40, set of 4) We love the bold red stripe on these crystal glasses – it’s the perfect cherry shade. At Christmas time it’s reminiscent of festive candy canes but it’s neutral enough to use all year round in a colourful kitchen. Available from: Selfridges (£40, set of 4) Cox & Cox Gingham Ruffle Square Cushion Available from Cox & Cox (£40) Make your kitchen space feel extra cosy by adding some warm linens.

There are lots of smaller elements you can introduce into your kitchen to add a little farmhouse style. Read on for our favourite rustic farmhouse interiors, plus how to embrace this timeless trend in your own home.

description: Kitschy vintage style is taking over kitchens this summer. Find out everything you need to know about the trend
encoded: More than any other room in your home, your kitchen can be a space of creativity – not just for what you're cooking but for your interior design, too. Kitsch is the interior design trend that allows you to blend colours, patterns and shapes in a way that's unique to your home – and it's making a trending return this summer. While it might sound new, kitsch is in essence all about nostalgia. Think warm, earthy tones and florals patterns of the 1960s and 70s, or the bright electric colours and chrome accents of the 1950s and 60s. At its heart it's a carefree blend of colourful dopamine décor with a splash of retro style, but really, the fun of embracing kitsch is making it exactly what you want it to be. But don't worry, you don't need to remodel your whole kitchen to make it kitschy. It can be as simple as combining colours that don't match or bringing together clashing patterns, or as elaborate as buying a new fridge in a statement colour. No more neutrals! Kitsch design embraces bold shades and confident style choices, whether that's bright painted cabinets, patterned vases overflowing with flowers, tongue-in-cheek prints on the walls or pastel appliances on your counters. Read on for our favourite ways to bring kitsch back into your kitchen this summer. What is kitsch kitchen style? Kitsch sits somewhere between the bright colours of dopamine décor and the 1950s designs of retro, with a combination of colourful pastel hues and vibrant patterns. You can embrace the trend as much or as little as you want, from having a brightly coloured fridge to opting for vintage tableware in contrasting patterns. Lots of modern appliances also feature retro designs with curved shapes, bright colours and chrome details. One of our favourite things about having a kitschy kitchen is the freedom to mix and match different colours, patterns and styles. When it comes to this vintage aesthetic, it's the more the merrier.

encoded: Not many pieces of kitchen kit will last you a lifetime. Longevity is one of the things we look for when testing kitchen equipment here at olive, but only a rare few items have the potential to be passed down for generations. One of these is a high-quality cast iron casserole dish. Staub and Le Creuset are the two biggest names when it comes to enamelled cast iron, and for good reason. We've tested and used both brands time and again, and I have both a Le Creuset round cast iron casserole dish and Staub La Cocotte round cast iron dish in my home kitchen. Having used and tested both brands' cast iron casserole dishes, we know that they're good for baking, searing, stewing, roasting and a myriad of other cooking tasks, making them both super-versatile. If you're looking for a casserole dish to last you a lifetime, you're probably wondering which is better. In terms of brand reputation, there's a school of thought that believes Le Creuset is for home cooks, while Staub is favoured by chefs. However, in our experience, there's little truth to this and it's not always that simple. When choosing between Staub and Le Creuset, the choice largely comes down to personal preference and details like aesthetics and colours. There are also other factors at play, such as Staub's larger size range and Le Creuset's higher prices.

encoded: Whether it's the ping of notifications from your phone at all hours of the day and night, trying to squeeze onto a packed train on your morning commute or navigating the self-checkout at the supermarket without any unidentified items in the bagging area, everyday life can be pretty overwhelming at times. If you're looking to add a little more serenity and calm back into your life, why not start in your kitchen? Japandi style, born out of a combination of Japanese and Scandinavian design influences, encourages you to turn your home into your sanctuary and form a greater connection with the space around you. Cate St Hill is a stylist, designer and author of The Japandi Home, a guide to the design movement. She says: "While the Japandi look is popular at the moment, it's really about forgoing trends and decorating with honesty and authenticity. You can do this by choosing tactile, natural materials over the synthetic or artificial, and carefully considering the design choices you're making. In a Japandi-style kitchen, simplicity is favoured over ornamentation or superfluous details."

If you're scratching your head about what constitutes Japandi home style, don't worry. The design aesthetic combines two styles your probably already familiar with. Cate St Hill defines Japandi as "an aesthetic style that marries the cosiness of Scandinavian design with the simplicity of Japanese minimalism". She says: "There's a very delicate balance between uncluttered restraint and rustic tactility – although a room might feel pared-back, there's warmth which comes from natural materials, organic textures and neutral tones."

Le Creuset is best known for its colourful cast iron cookware, which grew out of an innovation of combining enamel with cast iron to create a more durable product. Now they are one of the staple brands for many kitchens, combining quick and efficient heating, durability and a beautiful look. Whether you're looking for a piece of cookware to add a pop of colour to your kitchen, or to add this limited edition colour to your Le Creuset collection, read on for everything you need to know about Flamme Dorée. Shop the new limited edition Le Creuset colour Flamme Dorée from £289 When will the new Le Creuset colour Flamme Dorée be available?

This range is available for a limited time only, to mark 100 years of the brand, so if you have your eye on something, we'd recommend acting sooner rather than later to avoid missing out. Le Creuset's limited colours can be a big collector's item so we expect to see this range sell out fast. Shop the new limited edition Le Creuset colour Flamme Dorée from £289 What colour is Le Creuset Flamme Dorée? Le Creuset's new limited edition colour, Flamme Dorée is a twist on the classic Volcanic, a bright orange. Flamme Dorée means golden flame, which is reflected in the shimmering golden hue given to this limited edition set. This is achieved by adding an innovative third layer of enamel to the cast iron containing minerals which catch the light. The Flamme Dorée range also features a reimagined crucible knob with a golden hue. It contains a subtle nod to the brands' three rings logo and gives the casserole dish a luxe golden feel.

We've had a first look and have put it through its paces to test the performance. If you're looking to up your outdoor cooking game this summer this pizza oven could be a brilliant option. One of our favourite things about Gozney's ovens is their versatility beyond cooking pizzas. This oven might be compact but we still found it large enough to fit a tray of vegetables. We even cooked a steak in it, using a cast iron skillet, which had as beautiful crust. Plus you can take it on the move, whether it's on a camping trip with family, to the beach with friends or somewhere further afield. Read on for everything you need to know about the new Gozney pizza oven, including how to buy it. Buy the Gozney Tread for £499.99 at Gozney When is the Gozney Tread UK release date? The good news is the new Gozney Tread pizza oven is available today, Monday 10 March. You can find it online at Gozney. The new oven is available in two colours – olive (our favourite, of course!) and black.

encoded: Is there something in your kitchen that puts a smile on your face every time you see it? Sparking delight in your home – particularly in your kitchen – is a growing trend, whether that's through bright colours or patterns galore. 'Dopamine décor' – named after the so-called 'happy hormone' dopamine – is all about turning your environment into a place that's more joyful. It can be as simple as adding a pop of colour to your cookware or as all-out as colour-drenching your kitchen walls. With spring and summer ahead, what better time to refresh your kitchen and add a little colour into your home? Read on for our guide on how to embrace this latest trend in your kitchen, plus inspiration from the homes of some of our favourite chefs and food writers. Jump to: What is dopamine décor? Dopamine décor kitchen inspiration Our favourite ways to embrace dopamine décor in your kitchen What is dopamine décor? Dopamine décor is a home design trend born out of the dopamine dressing trend on social media. The idea is to embrace colours, shapes and designs that make you feel good, rather than prescribe to a minimalist aesthetic. By embracing colours, textures and designs in your kitchen, you can make the space feel more inviting when hosting friends and family. Where professional kitchens need to be sleek and pared back, your home kitchen can be as colourful and unique as you like. Dopamine décor kitchen inspiration Sarah Raven's Sussex kitchen Gardening and cookbook author Sarah Raven's East Sussex kitchen provides brilliant inspiration for dopamine décor. Raven uses bright orange lamps over the dining table, with contrasting cushions on each seat. She says: "I am anything but a minimalist (every shelf in my kitchen is jam-packed)." As a gardening author and teacher, it's not surprising that Raven's kitchen is full of flowers and foliage, which is another brilliant way of bringing colour into a space, especially in the summer months.

description: Our Place has launched a new cookware range, the Titanium Pro collection. Read on for everything you need to know
encoded: Viral cookware brand Our Place has launched a new collection, and it is its most requested launch yet. Following the launch of the Titanium Always Pan Pro last year, the brand has expanded the collection to include a full range of cookware, featuring frying pans of different sizes, a stock pot and saucepan. The design is sleek and elegant, perfect for modern kitchens, while being so attractive that you'll want to bring it to the table to show off for your guests. Our Place co-founder Shiza Shahid says: "This cookware is a celebration of progress: no toxins, no compromises and no limits on what's possible in the kitchen. Home cooks deserve to have pro chef-quality cookware in their kitchens." The Titanium Pro range uses technology that allows for a non-stick surface without using a chemical coating. This means it has far greater durability compared to the majority of non-stick pans when heating to high temperatures, using metal utensils and even putting them in the dishwasher. Read everything you need to know about this release from Our Place, including how to buy the new collection. Shop the new Our Place Titanium Pro collection from £150 When will the new Our Place Titanium Pro collection be available? The new Our Place Titanium Pro collection is available from today, Thursday, 6 March. You can find the full range available online at Our Place. Since the Titanium Always Pan Pro in the standard size has been around for longer than the rest of the range, it is also available at other online retailers. Although this isn't a limited-edition range, we expect it to be popular with limited stock, so if you want to avoid being disappointed, we'd recommend buying sooner rather than later. Shop the new Our Place Titanium Pro collection from £150 What's in the new Our Place Titanium Pro range? At first, the Titanium Pro range only included the Always Pan in the standard size. But, with the newly released collection, there's a much wider range on offer. The range has now expan…

Tell us about yourself We’re Paul Firmin and Niko Dafkos, co-founders of Earl of East, a business that started as a side-hustle 10 years ago, and has evolved into a lifestyle brand with three stores in London and our own line of home fragrance and bathing products that are stocked worldwide. We live in Leyton, east London, in a home that’s become a real sanctuary for us. It’s a new-build that we’ve filled with personal touches and one-off pieces from our travels, making it feel warm and inviting. It’s just us and our dog, Piper, but we love to host when we can. Tell us about your kitchen Our kitchen is open-plan and the heart of our home. It’s relatively modest in size with sleek, minimalist cabinetry and an island that’s perfect for both cooking and hanging out. There’s plenty of natural light from the glazed doors that lead onto the garden, and in the warmer months this outside area really is an extension of our home. We wanted a space that felt welcoming, functional and true to our lifestyle. What inspired your kitchen design? We were inspired by interiors we’ve seen in LA and Tokyo – clean, modern lines but softened with natural textures and earthy hues. We made sure the kitchen had everything we needed to cook together comfortably but also that it flowed with the rest of the home. The recent addition of quarry red floor tiles has really tied the kitchen to the hall and living room, creating a sense of continuity and warmth throughout. The connection to the garden makes the kitchen feel open and tranquil. There’s a natur…

To enhance its wintery feel, Storm Blue has a soft touch matte finish. Although the darker tint definitely gives this shade a more frosty look, we think it would look good all year round.

Tell us about yourself I ’m Jason Atherton, a chef with 13 restaurants across the world, including two Michelin starred Row on 45 in Dubai. I’ve just opened four new restaurants in London, with a fifth to come – Sael, Mary’s, Three Darlings, Hot Dogs by Three Darlings and Row on 5 – so yes, I’m busy! I live with my wife, Irha, and three daughters, Keziah, Jemimah and Athena. Tell us about your kitchen Our kitchen design follows the same inspiration as our restaurants: a methodical approach that creates a warm, welcoming social space. We designed our kitchen to strike a balance between a professional space for me, and one that is a home for my wife and children. We prioritised creating a perfect space that lets us socialise with friends and family. We love the large glass windows that let in plenty of natural light. Our kitchen was built just before we were hit by the Covid pandemic, so spending time in it all together was a cherished opportunity to strengthen family bonds. How do you spend time in your kitchen? I find the kitchen relaxing because it’s a space where I can focus on what I love to do – cooking – without distractions. Cooking definitely helps me decompress – making steak diane is always a winner for me. It’s one of the dishes I mastered first, so I love sharing it with others, and it also brings back childhood memories. I love experimenting with flavours and techniques – it’s an outlet for me. Socialising while cooking is also one of my favourite things to do, especially with my family. When is your favourite time in the kitchen?…

I taught home economics for over 40 years and I’m now retired, but do bed and breakfast, and cook privately in other people’s homes. Together with our grandchildren this keeps me busy. Tell us about your kitchen The kitchen has a lot of glass and exposed steelwork, which gives it a contemporary, almost industrial feel, which is blended with more traditional elements like the cabinetry. We built the kitchen extension to take advantage of the location and views of the garden and beyond. It is rectangular in shape with a full-height ceiling over the kitchen and a mezzanine over the utility area to the rear. It has carefully placed picture windows, which frame ever-changing views as the seasons roll on. There’s no clutter, clean lines and plenty of room. What inspired your kitchen design? We decided to move the kitchen from one end of the barn to the next, in order to take advantage of the views. Our architect cleverly turned the rough idea we had through 90 degrees to accommodate a huge glass wall, something we had not thought of. I am always cooking so we wanted plenty of space, and the ability to entertain on a large scale as well as somewhere for the two of us to eat. I love the size, the natural light and the peace and quiet, together with the amazing outlook. What is your favourite time in the kitchen?
