A Scandinavian Kitchen

A visit to any department store in Sweden is frustrating: Unless you are traveling with 18 suitcases, there is never enough room to properly stock up on their gorgeous homewares.

But now you won’t have to go to Sweden to stock up on beautiful Scandinavian kitchen accessories. Lu Prints is a Pemberton-based print company whose soft textiles and serving platters are inspired by the founder’s Swedish heritage and her Canadian surroundings. We love the Napanee print. It looks very Scandinavian, but features moose, snowshoes, and bears. We suggest you serve Swedish meatballs and a side of poutine. —Alexandra Suhner Isenberg

Napanee napkins ($36 for four), coasters ($22 for four), placemats ($36 for four) and teatowels ($16) are made in Canada and available on the Lu Prints webstore, www.luprints.bigcartel.com
