12 Fun Dinnerware Options To Spice Up Your Next Meal

For my fiance’s 35th birthday a few weeks ago, I hired a private chef, Lauren Owens, to make us dinner. Both he and I have been sticklers about not going to restaurants just yet, so I figured why not bring restaurant quality to our own home. And as I prepared for the surprise, I knew I needed to invest in some fun dinnerware to help set the mood.

We have one set of plates that we generally use, but for this, I felt the need to step it up. Making a statement in your home isn’t solely about what you have on your walls, shelves, or how many plants you own–but the small details as well. And seeing as I do like to entertain, this proved to be a necessary next step in my complete home decor rehaul.

I was a little last-minute with getting this together, so I ordered items from CB2 that I could easily pick-up the next day. The decor in our living room is lively, colorful, and fun, so I decided to get dinnerware to compliment that. I did a simple mix and match of plates and bowls in indigo and caramel, instead of all one color. To add an extra pop, I incorporated a pink floral napkin that had hints of both colors.

I was on a tight budget, so I didn’t buy new flatware or water glasses just yet, but those are definitely next on my list.
