Martha Stewart, AKA the original influencer, is beloved for her ability to blend timeless design aesthetics with functionality, and, unsurprisingly, nothing epitomizes this quite like her kitchen. Complete with French-country style copper pans and mixed-material countertops, Martha's kitchen is an industrial-quality space with a domestic heart, and the secret lies in her storage.

It's been almost a year since I first saw Martha's oversized glass containers, as seen behind her in the photograph below. Still, twelve months on, they are the simplest but most powerful kitchen storage solution I have seen to date.

Even one year later, these oversized glass containers are a rare example of design and functionality working in perfect harmony. They are simple yet oddly elegant, offering a storage solution that not only keeps a kitchen organized but also elevates the entire kitchen.

Martha (once again) shows us that practicality does not need to be hidden, and any home cook or design enthusiast would do well to replicate this approach in their own kitchen. I'm sure they'll feel just as inspiring in another 12 months from now. What do you think?
