10 Best Old-World Household Essentials

August 23, 2013

When we launched Remodelista a few years ago, it was almost impossible to source well-made, classic European-style household goods (in fact, I used to buy wooden brushes in London at Labour & Wait and carry them back in my suitcase). A lot has changed; West Elm, Williams-Sonoma, Terrain, Crate & Barrel, as well as a number of smaller online outfits now offer products from Germany, the UK, and Switzerland. Here are 10 products we own, use, and swear by at Remodelista:

redecker toilet brush in black and walnut 17

Above: Made in Germany, the Toilet Brush Set by Redecker is $34 at the Joinery.

terrain wire soap dish in black 18

Above: The classic Wire Soap Dish from Terrain is $18.
