The best kitchen countertop accessories are as functional as they are aesthetic. Take it from David and Victoria Beckham, who are evidently experts in blending the two. The couple turned French powerhouse Le Creuset, a label known for good-looking kitchenware and a safe choice for all things culinary-based.
While Le Creuset may be best associated with its iconic Dutch ovens (a favorite among the likes of Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, and Stanley Tucci), the Beckhams have opted for a low-key alternative: A Beechwood Classic Pepper Mill (available from Le Creuset).
Victoria often shares glimpses of her London townhouse via Instagram, including the footage below, which showcases their kitchen, designed by luxury Italian manufacturer Officine Gullo. Every element of their space contributes to a mixed-material aesthetic, including the aforementioned pepper mill, with a wooden texture that contrasts their black counters perfectly.
An endorsement from the Beckhams suggests this is one of the best pepper mills on the market, and at under $45, you can't go wrong. They have the beechwood model, but you can also experiment with a variety of colors, including a beautiful Cerise from Amazon below.
Simple yet beautiful, this pepper mill is just like the one seen on Victoria Beckham's countertops, only with a cerise twist. It's easy to use – and you can adjust the grind setting with a turn of the knob – clockwise for a finer ground and counterclockwise for a coarser grind.
Combining classic form and modern technology with traditonal wood styling, this Beckham-approved ceramic grinder is strong enough to crack peppercorns and corrosion-resistant for grinding salt. It's the most stylish way to store your condiments.
Le Creuset has been a trusted favorite for generations since its launch in the French town of Fresnoy-le-Grand in 1925. The brand was the first to pioneer colorful enameled cast iron cookware, for which it is arguably best known. However, David and Victoria Beckham's pepper mill serves as a reminder that enjoying the brand doesn't need to be a sizeable investment. You can enjoy its quality for under $45 and enjoy this product for many years to come.
Plus, alongside the pepper mill, the observant among us may have also noted the couple's toaster – specifically the Dualit Classic (available on Amazon). Dualit has designed appliances since 1945, while their classic toaster has been hand-built in the UK since 1952. Cut to the contemporary day, and it's an international kitchen essential – because if it's good enough for the Beckhams, it's good enough for us.
It's also quietly reduced on Amazon for a limited time, so we recommend acting fast.
Enjoy the classic, timeless look of the iconic Dualit brand with up-to-date, energy-efficient technology. It's the perfect alternative for those who love retro style but still want a perfectly cooked bagel in the morning.
