Designer Advice:
Many modern salt and pepper shaker ideas share the theme of being unlabeled. A great thing about this feature is that it makes a more versatile use. If you want to fill your shakers with other spices you want to grind, like cinnamon, allspice, or chili peppers, you won’t have to remember which mislabeled piece you used.

Modern salt and pepper shakers are quite common in dinner tables. Mostly, the shakers are used to accentuate the dinner table and can sometimes be bought as novelty items. In case you are the market for new shakers, you have a strong diversity of products to choose from. Different styles, sizes, and designs exist out there but before you decide which ones to buy, take a look at the following factors.
Modern salt and pepper shakers are made using different types of materials. Stainless steel shakers are very common. They are classy, durable and very modern. However, if you are looking for something vintage to complement your contemporary dining area, perhaps wooden shakers would make much more sense for you. Wooden shakers can easily be customized to meet the preferences of different people. But bronze shakers with copper accents will deliver the kind of elegance you won’t get from many shakers out there. Although they are relatively expensive, they are indeed worth it. You may also find simple plastic-based shakers embellished with metal accents. The material you decide to go for should be determined by the amount of money you are looking to spend and your overall taste and preferences.
- Size. Modern salt and pepper shakers come in different sizes. You don’t need a big shaker though, especially if you are just looking for something to hold the salt during dinner time. However, if you want the shaker as a novelty item to accentuate the dinner table, going for something large is highly recommended. It doesn’t have to be very big but it should be big enough to get some visibility from anyone who enters the dining area.
- Ease of Use. Although modern salt and pepper shakers are supposed to be simple and easy enough for anyone to use, you will still find many products out there that offer a few challenges when it comes to usability. You don’t want this. Usability is of course subjective. Some people might find certain products easy to use while others may find the same products difficult to handle. Either way, you need to buy something that works for you in a matter of minutes.
Although modern salt and pepper shakers have specific roles to play, they can also be used to give your home a new lease of life with additional décor value. Most designs in the market are actually created primarily for this goal. The craftsmanship and the stylish appeal of these shakers should be enough to appeal to anyone. However, with a great diversity of styles to choose from, it may be nice to take your time and sample some of the top designs in the market before settling for one. Whether you are looking for a simple shaker or an advanced one, crafted for elegance, the industry has everything you need.
