Cutlery

Good cutlery is something you use every day. That’s why you want to choose a set that feels comfortable in the hand, lasts a long time, and suits your table. In this collection, you’ll find individual items and complete sets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That way, you can easily create a basic set or top up your current one.

Cutlery for every day and for a beautifully set table

A good cutlery set is practical, but it also defines the look of your table. Think of spoons for yoghurt or soup, forks for a quick lunch, and knives that cut smoothly without feeling heavy. If you choose a complete set, you immediately have a solid foundation at home. Individual pieces are handy if you want to replace something or expand for dinners and holidays.

Want everything to match beautifully? Then combine your new cutlery with matching tableware or with lovely items from the kitchen accessories collection.

What should you look for when choosing cutlery?

1. Choose between a set or individual pieces

For a new household, a complete set is often the smartest choice. If you already have the basics, individual forks, knives, or spoons are especially handy. That way, you only buy what you really need.

2. Pay attention to shape and grip

Cutlery should feel comfortable to hold, even during a long dinner. Pay attention to the weight, the thickness of the handle, and the shape of the spoon bowl or fork. A well-balanced design feels good right away.

3. Think about use and number of people

For everyday use, it’s nice to have a little extra at home. For a household of four, a set for six is often practical. That way, you’ll also have enough cutlery when the dishwasher hasn’t been run yet.

4. Choose a finish that suits your table

Sleek shapes go well with modern tableware, while refined details work beautifully on a more classic or warm table. Look not only at the cutlery itself, but also at the plates, glasses, and textiles around it.

How to combine cutlery on the table

Want a beautifully styled table without it looking busy? Then choose a clear base. Plain plates often make cutlery stand out nicely, while a more striking design works especially well with calm tableware. For breakfast or coffee, you can complete the table with matching mugs. If you serve tea at the table, beautiful teapots complete the look.

A useful tip: place your cutlery next to your plate first and see whether the proportions are right. Cutlery that is too large can look heavy on small plates, while small spoons can get a bit lost on a generously set table.

Care and everyday use

Use cutlery as intended whenever possible. Table knives stay looking better for longer if you don’t use them on hard ingredients or as kitchen knives. Don’t leave acidic or salty food residues on them for too long, so the finish stays beautiful. Dry your cutlery well after washing if you want to avoid spots. That way, your set stays neat and pleasant to use for longer.

Frequently asked questions about cutlery

How much cutlery do I need?

For everyday use, it’s useful to have more settings than the number of people in your home. For two people, a set for four or six is often a good choice. For families, extra cutlery is handy for guests and busy days.

Is a cutlery set more convenient than individual items?

Yes, if you’re looking for a complete base. Individual items are especially handy if you want to replace existing pieces or expand your table with extra spoons, forks, or knives.

How do I combine cutlery with my tableware?

Look at shape, colour, and finish. Simple cutlery pairs well with many types of tableware. If your plates already have detail or relief, a calm set often works best.

Can cutlery go in the dishwasher?

That depends on the material and finish. Always check the product information. If you want to keep your cutlery looking good for longer, drying it well after washing is a smart habit.

What should I look for if I want to give cutlery as a gift?

In that case, it’s best to choose a complete, versatile set that suits everyday use. Neutral designs are often easiest to combine with existing tableware and therefore a safe choice.
