Styling with Oak Trivets & Boards

Some décor pieces are made to be both practical and beautiful, and our oak accessories do exactly that. Whether you’re serving weekday meals or hosting holiday dinners, the Scalloped Oak Trivet and Scalloped Oak Cutting Board are timeless accents that add warmth and thoughtful detail to your home.

The Everyday Hero: Scalloped Oak Trivet

The Scalloped Oak Trivet is one of those small details that makes a big impact. Handmade with precision, each trivet showcases the natural beauty and durability of oak wood; no two pieces are exactly alike. Measuring 8" by 8", it’s the perfect size to hold hot pans, dishes, or teapots while keeping your surfaces safe from heat.

What makes it special is how it blends practicality with rustic elegance. The warm, earthy tones of the oak add a natural charm that works with both modern and traditional spaces. It feels equally at home under a casserole dish at Sunday dinner as it does styled with candles and greenery for a seasonal centerpiece. Durable enough for daily use yet stylish enough to stay out on display, it’s a piece that quietly elevates the everyday.

A Statement Piece: Scalloped Oak Cutting Board

The Scalloped Oak Cutting Board is as functional as it is beautiful. Crafted with care, each board highlights the rich grain of oak, making every piece one-of-a-kind. Its substantial design gives you a sturdy surface for slicing and dicing, while the scalloped edges add a refined detail that transforms it into a serving piece you’ll be proud to display.

I love how versatile the cutting board is. I use it for everyday chopping, and then next it’s the centerpiece of a holiday charcuterie spread. The warm, earthy tones of the oak bring rustic elegance into the kitchen, whether it’s leaned against the backsplash as décor or styled on the dining table with cheeses, bread, and fresh fruit. Built to withstand the demands of daily cooking yet timeless enough to be styled year after year, it bridges the gap between utility and beauty.

More Ways to Style with Oak

Oak pieces are incredibly versatile, which is what makes them essential in any home. A few of my favorite ideas:

• Entryway Accent: Place the trivet under a vase of flowers on a console table for an instant touch of dimension.

• Coffee Table Detail: Style the trivet under a cluster of candles or seasonal greenery.

• Outdoor Hosting: Use the cutting board to carry cheeses or fresh fruits for patio gatherings.

• Holiday Centerpiece: Layer both the board and trivet into a tablescape with greenery, pinecones, or ornaments for effortless seasonal charm.

Creating Warmth & Flow

The beauty of oak is its ability to move seamlessly through your home. These scalloped designs transition effortlessly from kitchen prep to table styling, from everyday meals to special gatherings. They bring warmth, texture, and timeless character, turning the practical into something truly special.
