Extraordinary Dinnerware for Your Tabletop
If you want to make a major impression on your guests, prepare to wow them with a tabletop that gets their mouths watering. While your cuisine is bound to be a hit, especially if you serve lots of gourmet appetizers to start, look to artisan-level dinnerware as one of your first Thanksgiving ideas.
- Dive right into the fantastic nature of the holiday with detailed dinnerware. While chic plates in solid colors or featuring luxurious bands of color or sheen are always in fashion, you can stand out from years past when you set the table with something new.
- Check out designs that spill over the central portion of the plate onto the rim. Much like your servings during this bounteous meal, these plates favor the shot of pleasure you get from indulgence over a classic sense of proportion.
- Keep dinnerware on theme with artwork like turkey, quail or duck on your plates. Pair dinner plates with chargers in autumnal colors and make sure everyone has a different salad plate to compare and enjoy.
Linens, Utensils and Decor
Add to the fanfare when you explore all the Thanksgiving ideas that are new in linens, utensils and other decor. These smaller accents can make a big difference in your tabletop or around your home, especially if your family is used to the annual traditions.
- Create texture with the addition of new table linens. So many kinds are available for you to enhance your place settings.
- Check out runners, placemats, napkins and more in all the autumn shades.
- Special flatware makes holiday dining feel like the occasion it is. Look for unique patterns on the handles of knives, forks, spoons and more. If you like a smooth finish, try an interesting look, like a copper burnish.
- Boost decor with decorative soup tureens. One shaped like a turkey is always good for a chuckle, but with its fine silhouette, it fits right into the rest of your table.
Selecting New Tables and Chairs
Large families or anyone who knows they'll be entertaining many guests this year are best suited to an expansive dining table. Make sure you have the one you need and pair it with well-made chairs that will last you many Thanksgivings to come.
