Warmer weather has us feeling a bit more inspired to entertain. Indoors or outdoors, setting the table can feel like a somewhat uninspired task. But, as always, we've got you. Our recent expansion into the homewares category has resulted in glorious stockpiles of dinnerware, serving dishes and utensils, glassware, linens, and other tabletop pieces to bring your dining experience at home together. Here are a few must-haves to get you started...
Aside from the necessary dining table and chairs (duh), you'll need the first layer of décor. Linen tablecloths are ones to completely swoon over. Linen is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable fabrics, and our line of handmade tablecloths and napkins from Montreal seem to only get better with use. A bold dark grey is one of our favorites, particularly when paired with a mix of lighter dinnerware and perhaps some other tabletop accents in bold colors.
We have some rather exciting news - placemats are actually pretty cool. The Chilewich brand not only meets a need, it does it in style. They come in a number of colors, patterns, and shapes, lending themselves well to any aesthetic. Plus, they're made for indoor and outdoor use, and super easy to clean. PS - Chilewich also produces a number of indoor and outdoor floor mats and rugs that are as beautiful as they are functional.
Get ready to serve with these incredibly bold stoneware platters by Gharyan. If we're being honest, we're obsessed with this whole line. Organically shaped, artisan-made platters and other items are naturally able to maintain even temperatures, both during and after the cooking process. Scorch that may alter flavor is prevented, dessert and cold dishes are kept chilled, and warmth is maintained in soups and stews. The matte finish also gives a unique look.
Tarhong's line of melamine and plastic plates are designed in an array of patterns, colors, and shapes to highlight and complement many styles. Melamine mimics the aesthetic of ceramics, without the weight. Shatterproof and durable, these plates are also ideal for outdoors and by the pool.
Add some interest and color to your serving game with the Baltique® Marrakesh Collection salad server utensil set. This pair of beautifully crafted salad servers is made from layers of colored birch wood to create a gorgeous rainbow blend of red, green, orange, blue and natural wood colors.
You'll also need something to toast with... the look and feel of Fortessa's glassware is one of our new favorite modern designs we carry. Inspired by Parisian flea market finds, these Jupiter double old fashioned glasses brighten any table in an array of rainbow hues. Bands of beaded detailing have timeless elegance and add to each piece’s handcrafted aesthetic.
There is so much more to discover in our new homewares collection. You can shop online, but if you're in town, we'd love for you to stop by and see for yourself. Cheers to all things new and good!
