What is a tea towel?

A tea towel is a piece of fabric used to dry dishes, glasses, hands, and kitchen surfaces. At Dims Studio, you’ll find tea towels chosen for their quality, colors, and patterns, so they work practically and add atmosphere to your kitchen.

Materials and types of tea towels

Most tea towels at Dims Studio are made of cotton, linen, or a blend of the two. Cotton is popular because it’s durable, absorbent, and withstands frequent washing. Linen dries extra fast and has a distinctive, slightly crinkled texture. You’ll also find woven tea towels with jacquard patterns, classic checks, stripes, or colorful prints. Some brands offer organic and GOTS-certified textiles, letting you choose based on both aesthetics and sustainability.

Sizes and dimensions of tea towels

Tea towels typically come in sizes from 40 x 60 cm to 50 x 80 cm. The standard size of 50 x 70 cm fits most kitchens and offers enough space to dry large plates and glasses. Some towels have extra length to hang nicely on a hook or rail. Smaller towels around 30 x 30 cm are often used as cloths or for hands.

  • Bongusta offers tea towels in colorful patterns and quality cotton, often inspired by graphic retro prints.
  • AU Maison focuses on classic stripes, checks, and soft colors, often in OEKO-TEX-certified qualities.

Uses and styling of tea towels in the kitchen

A tea towel can do much more than dry up. Fold one and use it as a placemat for breakfast. Hang several towels in different colors and patterns together to create a personal look. Use them as bread basket covers or to wrap lunch sustainably. Tea towels with bold colors or prints can also add a splash of color in a neutral kitchen.

  • Nordic: Choose tea towels in white, gray, or dusty tones with simple checks or stripes.
  • Retro: Pick colorful prints, graphic patterns, or strong contrasts, for example from Bongusta.
