If you simply don't do basic, the beautiful Marble Cooking Spoon Rest by MasterClass Artesà is a must-have! It's made from smooth, natural marble in an elegant jade tone with characteristic flecks throughout, and is satisfyingly solid and heavyweight.

It has a practical, discerning design that catches any mess while perfectly holding utensils and can simply be wiped clean after use. We love the ageless elegance this spoon rest brings to what is often just a purely functional item. It is also very highly rated and comes with a five-year guarantee for your peace of mind.

Alessi are an incredibly chic Italian kitchen brand that has been around since 1921, and since their inception, they have been collaborating with various iconic designers to bring us simple yet beautiful products such as this one. 

Their T-1000 Stainless Steel Spoon Rest was designed by Valerio Sommella and it perfectly combines style, functionality and quality. Inspired by the idea of two drops of mercury coming together to form one drop, this spoon rest can accommodate either one utensil or two utensils laid across it. It would make a gorgeous gift, too.

You'd think an article about spoon rests would just contain generic options without much opportunity for flair, but we think many of the options in our list have gone above and beyond the everyday – particularly this one by Wrendale Designs.

Wrendale Designs are an award-winning UK based publisher of greetings cards and giftware featuring the artwork of artist Hannah Dale. Her pieces are inspired by the glorious Lincolnshire countryside, and this delicate bone china spoon rest is one of her most adorable items. A kitchen accoutrement that is not only practical but collectable too!

With a totally unique concept, the Blip Spoon Rest by Alessi is more of a piece of art than a spoon rest! One of two Alessi products on our list, this one is designed by Paolo Gerosa from the LPWK (Laura Polinoro Workshop).

Based on the idea of a wave from a drop of water, Blip is made from a thin sheet of steel cleverly moulded to cradle utensils of different lengths and sizes. As well as being lightweight and super practical, it's undeniably elegant and one you'll certainly be proud to show off at dinner parties.

Featuring a lovely honeycomb design, these rests from Yolife are made from high-quality porcelain and have a simple, homely and pretty style. They come as a set of two and are perfect for most large utensils, as well as for other things like placing used teabags in.

The pair also fit inside each other, allowing you to neatly store them away to the side on your kitchen worktop, though you might not want to as they make a nice addition to any space! Coming in a calming pastel blue shade, these spoon rests are varnished, keeping them looking their best for years to come.

For those who prefer a more natural or rustic look in their kitchen, consider this wooden spoon rest by Kaizen Casa that's both stylish and practical. It's light and compact with space for two spoons or other types of utensils and is great value for money considering the quality. 

The grain of the wood can be brought out even further by rubbing walnut oil into it, a process that will also protect the wood and help it to stay in a good condition over the years. This is a beautiful buy for your friends, family or your own kitchen.

Eye-catching and vibrant, this set of four rests by iNeibo make a colourful and convenient addition to your kitchen. As they're a larger size than the average spoon rest, they can be used for a multitude of purposes, from placing spatulas on beside the barbeque to holding used teabags and, of course, sitting utensils on.

Their practical design allows them to fit inside one another, which is ideal for space-saving, and they can withstand very high temperatures – useful when using very hot pans or griddles. Made from high-quality silicone, they are dishwasher-friendly and almost impossible to break!

Made from stainless steel, this option by Premier Housewares is shiny, bright and curved into the shape of a large spoon. It has the type of homely design that will fit into almost any kitchen environment and it can be easily washed or wiped down after use with warm, soapy water.

It's great value at just over ten pounds and can fit up to two utensils in the rest, depending on how you use it. Some reviews have reported their items arriving with damage to the enamel covering, but Premier Housewares are a leading UK supplier who would hopefully provide a replacement should this happen.

Budget-friendly and coming in a range of cheerful colours, this silicone rest by Zulay Kitchen is ideal for those looking for something practical that doesn't break the bank. It has space for four different large utensils including tongs and spatulas, with a large tray to catch any drips.

Made from BPA-free, food-grade silicone, this spoon rest is safe, reliable and can simply be tossed into the dishwasher after use! If you decide to opt for this one, be aware that the price can vary wildly depending on which colour scheme you choose.
