Dishes, silverware, and glassware come in many different colors, materials, and shapes, that can influence the aesthetic of the dining table. But what are the must-have tableware accessories you need to have? Keep reading to find out!
A centerpiece
Remember to always begin with a central focal point. The centerpiece is an important component in helping to arrange and align all the other tableware accessories. It should be a statement piece that blends with the rest of your decor. A lovely vase with a floral arrangement, or even a lovely candleholder, could be one.
Table linen
Linen for the dining table could be table mats, runners, and covers. Tablecloths with patterns and hues go with the decor and even elevate it. These are essential because they highlight the surface or texture of your dining table and give the overall dining room decor an interesting layer.
Cutlery and dinner set
Now that you’ve chosen the basic look of your dining table, it’s time to add a good dinner set. Even if you won’t use your favorite set daily, it’s a must-have for formal dinners or gatherings. When choosing a dinner set, find designs that go well with both the food and other tabletop items. Keep some separate cutlery sets to match your dinner set for different occasions.
Napkins
They might not look like it, but napkins play an important role at the dinner table. You can choose cloth napkins or a simple tissue box for a more casual setting. Make sure your napkins match the tablecloth, and you can add pretty napkin rings to keep them in place. They add just the perfect amount of elegance to the dining table.
Decorative jars
Consider adding condiment jars, which are tiny bowls or canisters with lids used for storing condiments like salt and pepper. You can find them in different shapes, colors, and sizes, and are very aesthetic decorative elements on the table.
These are a few of the must-have tableware accessories that make up the foundation of your dining table. Even though they might seem basic, you can experiment with a variety of materials and colors to keep your dining table looking incredible.
