Dinner Sets
36Setting the table is an art. Whether it's for a special occasion or an ordinary day, properly placed cutlery already conveys a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. But to make the most of your meal, you need to take the time to select the right cutlery. Discover the must-haves when it comes to tableware.
Plates at the heart of decoration
When it comes to tableware, the plate is at the very heart of the decoration. There are numerous variations to suit every style. While small plates are dedicated solely to dessert, others feature a hollow design to accommodate velvety soup. You'll also find a wide choice of flat bowls for preparations and starters.
Apart from design, the choice of the raw material from which the plate set is made is also important. Note that the most decorative are those made from stoneware. For an industrial style of decoration, you can opt for ceramics and earthenware. On the other hand, for a vintage look, porcelain is the best choice. Certain ranges will add a nostalgic touch to the ambience.
In terms of colors, there's something for everyone: classic white, black, patterned white, blue, violet, green, yellow or gray.
Cutlery, the masterpieces
Apart from the dishes, cutlery also plays a vital role not only in the decor, but above all in the entire meal. Depending on the selection of crockery you have chosen, there are matching models of cutlery. They can also be made from different materials such as ceramic, wood, wrought iron or glass. You can also choose them in sets of 6, 12, 30 or even more for larger events.
Cups and glasses
At brunches, dinners or aperitifs, drinks are always part of the menu. That's why glasses are essential. For these, you have a whole selection of models to choose from, depending on the beverages to be served. For example, you'll find stemmed glasses for wines, mugs for beers, highballs for aperitifs and flutes for champagnes. Mugs, meanwhile, can also complete the service. They are ideal for serving coffee or tea after lunch.
Table linen
It's a whole combo of pieces, just to mention the tablecloth and napkins. Their color and choice of material will depend on the scope of the event itself. For a christening, for example, white is the color of choice. But gold, silver and even dark colors are just as chic and elegant. It's simply a matter of creating a contrast that enhances the overall decor and the other services.
Decanters, teapots, soup sets, mugs and aperitif sets are also welcome to complete the look.
