If you’re shopping for tableware that you want to transition well from season to season and holiday to holiday here are some suggestions.
- Start neutral. The more neutral, the more versatile.
- Think storage. If you don’t have room to store extras, I would skip the large platter that has a giant Christmas tree on it.
- Think about it like makeup. When we put makeup on, we start with a neutral foundation, then we add in color with our eyeshadow and lipstick. Linen napkins, centerpieces, and candlesticks are a fun way to add color. This is great way to bring in your personality.
Solids are a great way to add color that transitions well. Forrest green is great for fall, Christmas and spring. Yellow carries well for fall, spring and summer. Blues can pair well for winter.
I’ve found the more neutral and solid I go, the more I can mix and match year round. It makes for less storage and gives me time to focus on other parts of hosting.
Don’t get me wrong I love a fun and colorful tablescape! I’ve done mermaid, dessert, gold, lumberjack, and more themes over the years. But they are the exceptions for me, not my go to.
