Speaking of adding a splash of color to one's living space, I'm in love with Totally Bamboo's “Baltique Marrakesh” line of kitchen utensils and more. Despite the company's name, they're made of birch wood rather than bamboo, but their dazzling color schemes are really what matter here.

The collection includes just about every sort of kitchen implement you can think of, from measuring spoons to cooking/mixing spoons to coffee scoops to pepper mills to slotted and non-slotted spatulas and beyond — each more eye-catching than the last. The more you add to your collection, the brighter and happier your kitchen will feel.

In addition to their looks, the wooden utensils in the lineup are safe to use on nonstick-coated cooking surfaces. However, keep in mind that it's best to hand wash them rather than putting them in a dishwasher. In fact, they should never be left soaking in water for long periods.

I recommend the 7-piece set to get you started, which is $69 on Amazon. When you're ready to expand, check out the rest of the collection or see the other Baltique lineups that are each inspired by unique locations around the world.
