Wedding Wednesdays: The Latest Trend in Kitchenware You Need On Your Registry

You’ve probably heard the hype about hygge, the Danish/Norwegian tradition centered around making the home comfy and cozy. And while you might already be familiar with applying this philosophy to your living space or bedroom (who doesn’t love curling up under a fuzzy blanket during the colder months?), The Knot is here to encourage you to extend this warm and welcoming Scandinavian mindset to your kitchen. The elements of Scandi style—simple patterns, rustic touches and a palette of light neutrals accented by bright colors—are popping up in dinnerware, cookware and serveware as well. Need some registry inspo? Here are four key characteristics of Scandinavian décor paired with The Knot's favorite pieces from Dansk to add to your registry. Enjoy!

Hand-Painted Blue-and-White Details

Blue-and-white dishes are a time-honored classic for good reason. Few dinnerware patterns evoke the same kind of nostalgia as these simple, two-toned pieces reminiscent of mosaic tiles—but they can also feel fresh and modern depending on the style. For a truly Scandinavian take, look for brushstroke patterns that appear to have been painted by hand.

Earthy Tones

Scandinavian style is all about taking a cue from Mother Nature, which is why warm, earth-toned neutrals are celebrated. There’s something comforting about the rustic look of clay-colored dinnerware that’s as speckled and spotted as a bird’s egg. Earthy colors like terra-cotta and slate add to the sense of cozy warmth.

Sturdy Stoneware

Speaking of earthy inspiration, stoneware—with its aged finish reminiscent of kiln-fired pottery —is a natural fit for Scandinavian homes. And it’s durable too. The ability to withstand whatever life throws at it makes stoneware a great option for dinnerware or cookware. Bonus: It looks as welcoming in a table setting as it does serving up your culinary creations.

Vibrant Enamel

Enameled cookware offers the perfect blend of form and function (a major tenet of Scandi style, if there ever was one). The heavy-duty steel structure holds up to years of use, while its colorful coating looks bright and cheery on the table. Wooden handles only enhance the cozy appeal, so you can serve up your favorite comfort food in style.
