There’s something so easy to style about stoneware – it slips into your current decor with all the effortless elegance that makes a great piece of homeware. And the material is super versatile too! From statement-making colorful pieces to neutral textured designs, there’s a stoneware style to suit any aesthetic.
Seeing as it’s literally my job to browse through the best home decor stores on a daily basis, I come across a ton of gorgeous stoneware pieces – most of which I want to immediately share with you all. The designs can come in ceramic, marble or slate, have a glazed, matte or textured finish, and can even feature abstract grooves, scalloped detail or a rustic hand-shaped form – so it’s no wonder I’m spoiled for choice when it comes to stoneware home accessories. But I’ve managed to whittle my selection down to my 12 absolute favorites.

BEST BEDROOM STONEWARE
I simply couldn't collate a list of the best stoneware products without including an Anissa Kermiche piece! This Love Handles ceramic vase has reached cult status in the decor world, and with its classic-yet-modern feel it's clear to see why.
Place this surprisingly affordable candlestick on your bedside table to add a playful touch. I adore the glazed finish, earthy tone and modern chunky design.
This chic marble trinket tray belongs on your vanity – use it to store scented candles and your most-loved pieces of jewellery. I adore the scalloped detail which gives it a luxe feel.
BEST LIVING ROOM STONEWARE
If you love a soft pop of color as much as you do grooves and texture, then this ceramic double-handled vase is the stoneware piece for you. It comes in a few other neutral and pastel options which you can style together for a beautiful effect.
I can't imagine a more perfect ornament than this infinity knot to place on your pile of coffee table books. It'll add an organic touch to your decor.
I adore the earthy terracotta tone and classic design of this textured ceramic vase! It'll make the ideal addition to your side tables or shelving.
BEST KITCHEN STONEWARE
These beautiful glazed cereal bowls have been hand crafted from speckled stoneware, giving them a rustic-yet-elegant feel.
This standing serving bowl comes in the most eye-catching yellow shade, if you love to bring a bit of drama to your dinner table.
I can't quite believe the under-$35 price of this earthenware pitcher. The sleek thin handle and contrast detailing makes it feel far more expensive than it actually is.
BEST BATHROOM STONEWARE
This sleek slate bath caddy features a gorgeous grooves detail and is the perfect place to prop up your book and scented candle whenever you take a self care moment.
These ceramic canisters feature artistic handles that will make your bathroom counter feel more playful while still maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.
Last but not least, this emerald marble tray offers a stylish space to store your bathroom accessories.
WHAT ARE THE BEST FINISHES FOR STONEWARE HOME ACCESSORIES?
Matte stoneware offers a classic and elegant finish, perfect for a minimaluxe aesthetic. Pieces in a single block of color work best here – particularly neutral shades like cream, black, beige, and terracotta. Stoneware pieces in marble and slate also often come in a matte finish, allowing you to appreciate the natural pattern of the stoneware.
A textured finish is great if you want more of a rustic, earthy effect. A bit of rough texture like that in speckled stoneware adds a natural, organic feel to any homeware piece. Textured earthenware accessories with a hand-formed design (as with the yellow serving bowl linked above) are great for styling together with more minimalist matte pieces to add balance and dimension to the overall look.
Glazed-finish pieces are a great option for dinnerware as they’re often more food-safe than matte or textured stoneware designs. Ridges and grooves and other embossed or debossed patterns also look great on glazed pieces as the light catches the raised edges for a striking visual effect.
