Displaying Le Creuset & Staub

Williams Sonoma

 
I have been finalizing my exterior painting plans and will return this week to making progress on my kitchen appliance upgrade and will share my research. 

I have been noticing how in so many kitchen photo shoots they have a Le Creuset or Staub cocotte on the range. I have two white pumpkin cocottes and plan to steal this idea above. I love it.

This is amazing, but my HomeGoods has started selling some Staub as well as Le Creuset. Between HomeGoods and a wonderful Le Creuset outlet store nearby, I have been finding some great cookware.

It is so beautiful, I really hate to hide it all in cabinets. I have two pantries, but one has already been converted to a blue and white chinoiserie cabinet. Check out this Le Creuset display - stunning.

I don't have open shelving, so I am playing around with other some ideas. One idea is adding a kitchen island with open shelving below - something along these lines.

Do any of you keep your Le Creuset or Staub on display?

  1. I have a 6-tiered metal stand I bought years ago that now holds my Le Creuset and Staub dutch ovens. I had originally bought it for my copper pots and pans, but they're now hanging in my kitchen for easier access.

    1. I love that idea, but I have tons of space in the center of the room, but not wall space.

  2. I don't have any Le Crueset but if I did, I'd get the original flame-style dutch oven. I like the spring green color, though

    1. There are so many great colors - they have lots.

  3. Take the upper cabinet doors and hinges off, paint the inside a color and add decorative corner brackets. A source I always use is Architectural Depot. Another choice is to have glass doors replace the old ones.

    1. They are too large for my upper cabinets. It's a great idea though.

  4. Thank you for sharing your research! We are planning our changes and thought of adding lowers on the other side of the butlers pantry, removing a storage closet to display our Le Creuset. Love the Caribbean Blue here in Florida!

    1. That sounds great. I wish I had another closet but I already converted one for my blue and white.

  5. Yes, I display my Flame LeCreuset on my stove top daily along with matching teakettle. ❤

    1. I plan to keep my white pumpkins on the stove. I like having a piece or two on the range.

  6. I know that open shelving and the absence of upper cabinets is very fashionable now, but I don't think it would be for me. I don't like to look at clutter, and the dust and grease from cooking would just mean more cleaning for me, but that's just my personal preference.

  7. I love the kitchen islands, though.

  9. I have a Le Creuset orange pumpkin that I keep out only in the fall. I was lucky to find a Staub white pumpkin that I now leave out all year. The kitchen island is a substantial piece and is beautiful. Thank you for all the inspiration in your posts.

  10. Beth, would you have a source for the faux bamboo/rattan fixture above the island? Best, MVB

    1. I believe it to be the Palm Beach Lantern. Google that and you will get many sources.
