The best cutlery sets – these chic designs are the perfect addition to your table
While you’re hosting, don’t forget to add some of the best cutlery sets to your dining table. These are my favorites across the board, from modern to traditional
I love hosting, coming up with new tablescaping ideas is one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m always looking for new ways to elevate my dining table and incorporate interior design trends of the season.
However, while you’re looking for the best spring tablecloths and purchasing colorful glassware to add a touch of playfulness to your spring parties, don’t forget one incredibly important aspect of your dining table to bring personality to the event – the best cutlery sets.
Your cutlery is the one item guests will use the most, and you want to make sure it fits your aesthetic and serveware appropriately. There are thousands of options available to suit all styles. In terms of shape, you can get anything from minimal lines to exaggerated handles, and the material opportunities are endless too. Here, I round up the best cutlery sets that are available on the market right now.
Ideally, you want to purchase one of the best cutlery sets that will speak to your interior design style, be sturdy enough for everyday use, and easy to look after for years to come.
In order to find the best options for you, I looked at my favorite retailers and took to picking cutlery sets that make a statement, whether that’s a contemporary take on an old design or something simple for more everyday use. I guarantee there’s something to take your hosting to the next level.
Using the traditional Japanese lacquer technique, this cutlery set has clean lines and a minimalist design that’s suited for neutral tablescapes.

The natural bamboo handles on this cutlery set have been entirely crafted by hand, which allows for an organic touch.
This beautiful cutlery set has a gaze satin finish, which elevates the look in an instant. Easy-grip handles in a dark ceramic hue bring about a modern vibe.
The contemporary matte handle on this five-piece set allows for perfect balance and weight when you’re holding each piece. It’s a bit of opulence that’s still easy to clean, since the entire set is dishwasher-safe.
Made of 100 percent stainless steel with a forged handle, this is a classic set that’ll last you for seasons to come.
