Staub’s New Matte Espresso Colorway Is the Perfect Foundation for a Cozy Thanksgiving Table – It’s Made for Comfort Food
And the pieces are already on sale
Now that October is upon us, it is finally time to give in completely to the cozy season. While it might feel a little bit early for planning out your Thanksgiving menu, it is never too soon to consider your tablescaping.
A big part of that is your cookware. More than just a vessel for preparing food, the right pieces can transition flawlessly from oven to table, doubling up as a striking centrepiece. My favorite option this year? The new Staub Matte Espresso Dutch oven, available at Crate & Barrel.
The rich neutral is available across a range of their best cast-iron cookware and is a failsafe investment for fall and winter, bringing warmth and comfort to your dinner table for holidays to come.
The rich brown is easy to pair with a range of autumnal and winter hues, for a seamless scheme you can rely on year after year.
This decadent hue is cropping up all over homes at the moment, so it hardly surprises me to see it in the best non-toxic cookware. Designers are returning to brown kitchens, for instance, while elsewhere in the home, dark wood and rich chocolate tones are also appearing across the latest bathroom color trends.
The Staub collection offers a softer alternative to classic black, bringing a warm, grounding tone to both modern and traditional kitchens. It feels particularly suited to fall and winter tables, when family and friends gather around with an appetite for hearty comfort food.
Homes & Gardens' Head of Interiors, Hebe Hatton, agrees, sharing, 'It doesn't get chicer than a rich, deep, chocolate brown. The chicest kitchens I have seen this year have all been swathed in this brave but versatile hue. However, if painting your entire kitchen espresso feels like a bit too much of a commitment to the trend, filling your shelves, islands, and countertops with decor and kitchenware in this luxurious hue will add the depth and interest without the remodel.
'It's the perfect color for this time of year too, when the kitchen becomes the heart of the home again, and you want it to feel cozier and more welcoming. Staub's new color, Matte Espresso, is too perfect to keep in a cabinet – I would have this on my stove, on display all fall,' she says, 'and when hosting, use it as a centerpiece for the table.'
Having previously reviewed the Staub Cast Iron stackable set, we can attest to the unparalleled quality of the enameled cast iron used, too. Awarding it five stars, our expert chef Lydia Hayman described the set as 'beautifully engineered,' praising its heirloom quality and the sense that it is built to be cherished and passed down through generations.
