Make your next dinner even more special with beautiful, functional tableware. Get the scoop on quality options and what to consider when you buy tableware.
What makes a good meal great? Of course, a delicious dish is at the heart of any great meal, but presentation shapes the dining experience just as much as the food on the plate. Excellent presentation can truly elevate a meal. We’re talking about tableware — dishes, platters, silverware — all the trappings that make it possible to enjoy a good meal. Attention to detail around food presentation and tableware is growing in popularity. Whether it’s through gorgeous food images on social media, food presentation settings in quality restaurants or the consistent growth of quality products in lifestyle magazines, consumers are paying attention to the ways their tableware affects their experience of food.
When it comes to choosing tableware to complement a dish or a home, we’ve got some great suggestions for you.
Why Do You Need Good Tableware?
1. First Impressions Matter (and they last!)
Before the food is even served, tableware is the first thing to catch our eye at the table. This rings true especially for formal dinners where different plates and utensils are used for different courses of the meal, but tableware sets the tone for any kind of meal. Tableware sets can be a great way to keep your table neat and inspire diners before they even see the meal.
2. Tableware Sets the Mood
No matter your style, the sort of tableware you choose influences the perception of a meal.
Maybe you like a simple, elegant presentation with crisp edges and simple colours (something like Life Concept plates), or perhaps you crave a traditional aesthetic (maybe something like Moomin’s Tableware sets) reminiscent of home-cooked meals from childhood. Choosing the right tableware can establish just the mood you’re looking for.

3. Quality Tableware Is Beautiful and Functional
There’s a growing demand for aesthetically beautiful, creative products that are also functional. Trends continue to build in divergent directions, including bold and artistic as well as simple and elegant. hhh
Must-Have Tableware Items
While tableware is sold in all sorts of combinations, it’s helpful to get an idea of the basics and then make additions based on your needs and wishes. Fundamental to any set are bowls, dinner plates, saucers, teacups, and silverware.
You’ll often find excellent sets with these basics to get you started. You can then add to your collection to build some personality and ensure you have what you need for the dishes you like to cook and the people you like to serve. For example, if you’re feeding younger children you might appreciate a partition plate. You may decide to add a specific bowl shape to your set to accommodate a certain kind of soup or noodle dish. Perhaps you’d like to have a variety of serving tools that match your set and enhance the overall look of your tableware.
