These are possibly the 12 most stylish grilling accessories you can find – I'll be buying them to elevate my BBQs

This spatula has a natural walnut handle, and is made from blackened, hand-forged stainless steel, which gives it a rustic quality that I love. Its slight curve on the end of the handle means it's a piece that you can proudly display, hanging in your outdoor kitchen, and the twist in the metal is another tasteful detail.

I like the natural teak wood handles of these barbecue tools, meaning your barbecue gear is uniform in style. The stainless steel set is made up of a barbeque tong, palette knife and barbeque fork, all with a tie on the end so you can hang them up once they're finished with at your barbecue station. 

I've thrown this in the mix because it's irresistibly cheap. At $8.62, it's such a steal and will doubtless come in handy during the summer. At 26.5 cm, these tongs give you enough space to be safe while working the barbecue, and it's made from wood - one of the lowest thermal conductors - so it won't heat up while cooking. 

You might not think Carhartt to be an obvious brand to venture into the world of cooking, but their firm cotton aprons are really heavy-duty and are a great buy for your barbecue. Daily usage means aprons are subject to spills and won't last unless you buy quality. This apron is a functional piece, with pockets for storing your tools.

And if you're going for a fashion-forward apron, you might as well go for some matching gloves. These are made from durable, brown leather meaning they are heat proof, and will help as you transfer food from the barbecue over to the table. Don't let them get wet, but store away with your barbecue equipment when not in use, ready for another sunny day.

I've also got my eye on these mitts. In full-grain leather, these gloves come with fabric loops so you can hang them up and keep them proudly on display when not in use. They are hand-stitched and have that rustic appeal, and are made to safely handle hot cast iron cookware in the kitchen or hot grills in the great outdoors. 

A decorative addition you'll find in many on-trend kitchens, olive platters also work outdoors. With a natural feel, they are hardwearing and provide a solid surface. Transfer it from the grill to the table without heat permeating through, and enjoy the aesthetic element of the beautiful grain.

This platter has a beautiful mix of neutral colors with a splash of blue, and it looks far more expensive than it actually is, priced at just $36. It's made from stone so it can withstand the heat, and is large enough to pile up food fresh from the barbecue to be taken to the table. 

From Soho Home, this large platter is inspired by shapes and material found at Soho Roc House in Mykonos, and the natural landscape on this Grecian island. The natural characteristics of petrified wood make each platter individually cut, and it has a stylish artisan finish. 

This is an example of where a bar stool fits the bill. It's that slightly higher height that makes it a great perch while you're in cooking mode. Its powder-coated steel frame supports woven rope, and it comes in a variety of colors, but I like black - it's discrete and stylish.

Built to last, this industrial-strength steel stool also comes with rubber feet to make sure it's stable and sturdy. It's also available in a variety of other colors, but I like vivid red, or the dark green option that might look at home in your backyard. Just make sure to store away or take indoors when not in use.

With a bit more back support, this galvanized steel bar stool comes in a range of fun color primary colors. It's suitable for outdoor use, so you can leave it tucked away in your barbecue zone after you've finished cooking, and it's at that perfect height for barbecuing.
