“Burn candles, drink wine, eat from beautiful dishes and never wait for a special occasion”, is a well-known quote that encourages us to enjoy everything that life has to offer. We can hardly make you burn those very candles, drink alcohol, or throw yourself headlong into adventures if you don’t want to – however, we still insist on beautiful tableware.
Setting the table and serving food on carefully and tastefully selected tableware using stylish cutlery will create an incredibly aesthetic and pleasant atmosphere for your patrons, turning an ordinary lunch or dinner into a small celebration every time. Don’t neglect this opportunity – and to make it easier for you to choose, we present the most relevant tableware trends this season.
All-White
Snow-white plates, salad bowls, and cups without the slightest colour accent are an exciting but classic find for the coming season. Don’t think that such a solution will look boring and even bureaucratic, like in some cafe or canteen. The neutrality of white allows you to focus on your chosen tableware’s appearance and presentation entirely. It will ensure a harmonious serving no matter what items you select.
Another advantage of white ceramics and porcelain is their combinatorial nature. You can safely arrange such dishes both on a discreet or dark, as well as on a bright tablecloth, and complement the serving with contrasting plain napkins and bouquets of flowers in white vases. If smooth plates and cups still seem too straightforward to you, then you may well choose options with a graceful convex pattern.
Colourful Tableware
Restaurateurs and homeowners should prepare to embrace the boldest colours ever in the new season. The key colour trendsetters have already revealed their forecast, and their beautiful collections are mostly enriched with bright and juicy shades that we should not be afraid of using.
So, if you still insist on coloured tableware, then be sure to take a closer look at the following shades:
- Warm shades. Earthy colours, sweet corals, soft peach variations, unmatchable terracotta tones, muted mustards, glorious burgundies, all with an alluring warm undertone to bring comfort to your dining table alongside the undeniable sense of taste
- Soothing and natural. Green, blue, and teal, in their rich range of variations, are the top choices for tableware. They will surely leave a stylish mark on the interior design as a whole
- Cool colours. Cold light shades, such as sage, or darker colours, such as deep green, blue, and even black, are welcome in spaces with a more sober air; they still add an accent yet don’t dare disturb the formal ambiance.
- Lavender. The colour of the year 2023 can be safely used for inspiration when choosing tableware. Moreover, any shade of purple works as perfectly as long as it stands out on your dining table.
Asymmetric Dishware
Perfectly round plates and cups are classics that have become timeless. Square plates and dishes are minimalists, which are gradually becoming classics too. And since the classics are not going anywhere from us, why not experiment?
For this season, designers have presented many options to make the table setting much more enjoyable. Dishware with deliberately uneven, as if hand-sculpted edges. Ceramic serving plates and salad bowls in the form of leaves. Saucers in the shape of funny animals, hearts, and starfish – such a variety turns the set table into an incredibly beautiful and extraordinary still life. Most importantly, do not overdo it: balancing the serving of dishes with traditional design items is always worth it.
Always Up to date: Tableware Patterns
Geometric patterns and abstract prints have become increasingly popular in 2023. They can add a unique and stylish touch to any dish or cup, making them stand out from other dishes and cups and adding an extra layer of sophistication.
The coloured glass has made a splash in the fashionable table setting. Where they came from and who turned them into a current trend is difficult to say. One of the designers remembered the Rummer – wine glasses, popular in Northern Europe in the 16-17 centuries. Pleasant natural shades of glass, barrel shape, catchy decorative reliefs – all this is repeated in serving items today.
Manufacturers offer whole sets of carved glasses and goblets in various shades – from green and blue to brown and dusky pink. By matching them to plates of the same tone or colour scheme, you can set the table in authentic chic.
If you have always found it challenging to resist beautiful and trendy tableware, the Spring/Summer 2023 season promises to be your time! Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of setting the table the way you like it: the individuality and good mood of restaurateurs are still considered the hottest trends. And the list of the latest tableware trends will surely come in handy.
