Kitchens are made cuter by colorful glassware, kitschy mugs and stunning ceramic dinnerware. But they also tend to be cluttered with not-so-pretty necessities—cast iron cookware, sponges, dish towels and the like.
There’s little you can do to elevate the appearance of your cast iron cookware—and perhaps even less when it comes to sponges. But dish towels—dish towels you have some control over.

Dish towels—also known by the inherently more appealing name “tea towels”—are an undeniable must-have. Something‘s gotta help you wash your dishes, clean your countertops and dry your hands. Tea towels can serve all three of those purposes, making them a natural addition to any kitchen.
Even better: Tea towels can look good doing all those things—an oft-overlooked fact of kitchen shopping. Many home shoppers (myself included) opt for the cheapest-yet-heartiest tea towels they can find, trading fashion for function. But that’s not necessary. Plenty of retailers offer genuinely cute tea towels that can get the job done when you need them to and dress up your kitchen when you don’t.
Want a tea towel that adds a pop of color to your minimalist space? Or makes you smile with a tongue-in-cheek phrase? Or educates you about all your favorite succulents? Me too. All of these things—and more—are currently on offer. You just have to know where to look.
