There’s something about walking into a tidy, beautiful kitchen that instantly lifts my mood. It’s the heart of the home — the place where we start our mornings, make endless cups of tea, and gather for family meals. Over the years, I’ve learned that keeping a kitchen organised doesn’t mean it has to look plain. With the right touches, you can have a space that’s both functional and stylish.
This post focuses on one corner of my kitchen — a little spot I love. It’s where I’ve combined practical storage with a few decorative touches, and it sums up my style. We gave the entire kitchen area a refresh a few years ago, but I’ll save the complete makeover for another post. For now, I wanted to share the details of this space that contains my Amazon Kitchen Finds, because it’s proof that small updates can make a significant impact.
Amazon Kitchen Finds That Keep My Space Tidy and Beautiful
The Power of Peel-and-Stick Tiles
One of the most transformative changes in this corner was adding peel-and-stick wall tiles. Alongside a handful of carefully chosen Amazon kitchen finds, they completely changed the feel of the space.
If you’ve never tried peel-and-stick tiles, they are a game-changer for quick and affordable kitchen updates. They instantly give a fresh, modern look without the mess or expense of traditional tiling. I chose a sleek, textured style that brings warmth and depth to the wall behind my shelves, and it has completely transformed the mood of the space.
The best part? They’re so easy to apply — no grout, no special tools, peel, stick, and smooth them into place. And if you ever want a change, they come off without damaging the wall underneath. For me, they were the perfect way to add a stylish backdrop without committing to a complete renovation.
Shelving That Works as Storage and Display
To make the most of the wall space, we added a set of floating shelves with a glossy finish that reflects the light beautifully. They give me extra storage without taking up any counter space, and they also work as a little display area for things I love.
On the top shelf, I keep a mix of functional and decorative items — like a favourite Peruvian cookbook displayed on a simple stand, a few stackable glass jars for dry ingredients, and a pair of small crystal-style jars that I sometimes use for sweets or snacks. I’ve also added a faux plant with a plant pot to soften the look and bring a bit of greenery into the kitchen without the maintenance.
The second shelf has some Glass Food jars with Stainless Steel Lids in different sizes, perfect for cereals, pasta, baking bits, etc., and some storage jars in various sizes, ideal for rice, cookies, and other small items, within easy reach. I’ve tucked in a delicate artificial floral arrangement in a small ceramic pot to add some colour and charm to the space.
Pretty and Practical Countertop Touches
Beneath the shelves, I’ve kept the countertop clean but still added a few touches that make it feel homely. My favourite is a set of Emma Bridgewater nesting tins in a black-and-white design that hides away bits like biscuits and treats. They’re functional, but they also work as a bit of statement decor.
I’ve also added a small framed print with a kitchen-themed quote, “Eat, Drink, and be Happy”. It is a simple addition, but it makes the space feel more personal and inviting. To bring in a little extra texture, I keep another faux plant here — a small potted green plant that adds life to the corner without needing water.
Final Thoughts
This little kitchen corner is proof that you don’t need a massive renovation to make a big difference. By combining easy upgrades like peel-and-stick tiles, functional shelving, and a few thoughtful decorative pieces, you can turn even the smallest space into one you truly love spending time in.
If you’re inspired to make your kitchen more organised and beautiful, you can see them all in my Amazon kitchen finds idea list — from storage solutions to pretty finishing touches. Sometimes, it’s the little changes that make the most significant impact.
