Scandinavian Kitchen Accessories
Posted by Kathi Forsberg on Mar 13th 2018
Scandinavian kitchen textiles are woven to be used, not admired. That sounds obvious until you own some. A Swedish tea towel is heavy enough to dry a pan properly, an oven mitt is thick enough that you don’t flinch reaching for a hot tray, and a table runner is made from linen that survives being washed every week for a decade. The pattern is the last thing the maker decides, not the first — which is exactly why these pieces still look good after years of real use.
Add a chic, European flair to your home with our Scandinavian products for your kitchen. Each of the kitchen accessories we carry is imported from Scandinavia and will add something a little extra to your home. Whether you want a table runner or you’d like festive oven mitts with fish on them, we have a selection that will liven up your kitchen. They’re not only decorative and stylish, they’re also very practical. The potholder keeps you safe as you cook, the table runner adds a theme to your dining room, and the kitchen towels wipe up those unavoidable spills. Whatever you’re looking to add, we have a variety of Scandinavian products that will add something extra.
Check Out Our Kitchen Accessories
To make browsing easier, here’s what you’ll find in this section of the store. From kitchen towels to oven mitts, we carry a wide selection of accessories that add a unique feature to your kitchen.
Table Runners
Table runners are one of those kitchen features a lot of people dismiss, because they seem reserved for fancy dinners. That’s not the case. If you want to bring more of a family feeling to your meals, put a runner on the dining table and leave it there. Our Ekelund runners are woven in Sweden in cotton and linen, in patterns that run from traditional Dalarna motifs to bright seasonal designs.
Oven Mitts
Your oven mitts don’t have to be plain. Ours are cotton with a polyester filling, so they handle heat properly, and they come in designs worth leaving on the hook — the Fish, Moose, Fox, Bees and Dogs designs are all in stock, along with a Tomtenisse version for Christmas.
Kitchen Towels
Woven in Sweden, these towels pull a kitchen together while you cook. They measure roughly 12 by 20 inches and are a blend of linen and cotton, which is what gives them the weight and absorbency a thin cotton towel never has. Good for cleaning up messes, and good for adding color to the room.
Swedish Dishcloths
Swedish dishcloths come in a wide range of colors and patterns. They’re a blend of cellulose and cotton and will absorb up to fifteen times their own weight in liquid, so one cloth does the work of a roll of paper towels. The absorbent, supple material creates a cleaner kitchen without you doing most of the work, and it wipes surfaces genuinely dry rather than pushing water around.
