Every so often, the brilliant designers at some of the best home decor brands find new ways to turn a boring, everyday home item into something worthy of display. Something you'd like to leave out on your counter not because it saves you time to do so but because it looks so good. Something that is not only functional, but plays into your personal design style.

Scrolling TikTok the other day, I found these stunning electric salt and pepper mills thanks to a video from @everythingenvy. The video now has over 50K likes and the corresponding Amazon page? Well, it says more than 100 people purchased the stunning minimalist set in the past month.
These sleek grinders are electric but also rechargeable, so you can season with ease without worrying about batteries on hand. The ceramic grinder works for all kinds of spices, not just salt and pepper, and the simple design is so calming and chic. A perfect gift for a design-obsessed home chef or just a fun buy for yourself! If the reviews are any indication, this is an excellent, quality buy for under $50.
Price: $44.99
My favorite of the six colors has to be this sage hue, which plays off a trend we're seeing on kitchen walls.

I love the round-top look of these 100% acacia wood grinders, which can, of course, grind any spice of your choice. A perfect neutral.

I love the soft but bright sage green of these minimalist battery-powered mills, which also happen be made from a safe and corrosion-resistant wheat straw material. I've never used these mills, but I have wheat straw bowls at home and love them!
Price: $39.99
I've been loving cookware and home brand Joseph Joseph lately for their quality, design-forward, affordable tools. Its streak continues with this two-toned grinder set that it seems Target customers love just as much as me.
