Dice, slice, wipe, and display!

Cutting boards can make a huge statement in a kitchen. If you've been stashing yours away, stop—we spotlighted several must-buys with the majority coming from our August/September 2022 Kitchen Issue that prove style and function go hand in hand. In short, these well-designed boards most definitely deserve a spot on your countertop and even if you don't cook, the staple pieces make excellent serving platters for the charcuterie setups everyone loves so much.

While there are a ton of practical wood options ahead, we'll also be blowing you away with other standout picks including a cool confetti board coming in all kinds of colors to a next-level plastic purchase featuring two hues in one. The only material we've stayed clear of (pun intended) is glass. Not only will chopping on glass dull out your knife, but more importantly, it's super dangerous and can result in chipping. Keep scrolling and peep our fabulous finds below, so you can dice and slice in style!

The pop of color your kitchen is missing is right here. First up is a chopping board that has not one, but two colors. You'll love the playful contrast and it's easy to clean, too!

Plastic, Metal Handle | 1" Thick | 11" x 16"

A confetti cutting board couldn't be more on-trend. For those nervous about the birthday cake shades, feel free to opt for the simpler black-and-white silhouette.

Make your spot stand out with a round-shaped board and instead of lying it flat on your kitchen counter, lean it against the wall for all your guests to admire. The patterned side is for serving, while the flip flat side is for chopping.

Nothing beats a board with a handle, especially if you're basically using it as a large plate for meat and cheese. This one was also rubbed with board butter made out of food-grade beeswax, walnut oil, and lemon extract allowing it to be extra durable.

American Walnut | 1.25" Thick | 17" x 12 " | 5.6 Pounds

Here's a reminder that Our Place doesn't just make pots and pans. The brand sells glasses, knives, cutting boards, and plenty more kitchen essentials. As someone who's always cutting up fruits for smoothies, I love that it's a darker, walnut finish so it doesn't stain as easily.

Speaking of long-lasting boards that won't stain, the Blackline collection is the luxe splurge you should add to your cart. Plus, it has natural dyes that can develop a rich patina and look better over time.

Solid Wood | .75" Thick | 22" x 11.5" | 10 Pounds

A premium quality wood board at an affordable price point can be hard to come by. Well, until now. Pro tip: if you've never shopped the site before, you're eligible for $10 off your first order as a new customer.

A beautiful terrazzo board made from natural marble?! Yes, please, and it's ideal for tiny kitchens thanks to its smaller size.

Last, but not least, is a dot-printed board you won't be able to resist. It hails all the way from Sweden, so you know the design won't disappoint.

If you have the budget, go with a wood cutting board. Wood lasts longer and will keep your knives sharper. The only thing is, they're not dishwasher friendly, so be prepared to hand wash, wipe, and remember to oil your cutting board a few times a year to prevent it from drying out and cracking.

When it comes to cooking meat, a plastic board is your best bet. Since it's easier to sanitize (hello, dishwasher), rest assured you won't have any bacteria buildup. Plastic has a reputation for not being as aesthetic, but our multi-colored and confetti picks above prove that's not always the case.

House Beautiful's Director of Editorial Special Projects Carisha Swanson and Senior Shopping Editor Isis Briones rounded up these cutting boards that are pretty and functional in order to deliver an extensive list of products you'll be proud to show off in your kitchen.
