House Beautiful
Even though home trends have been dominated with pale white designs, it’s time to dive right into colour! Bold patterns, loud colours, and I-can’t-wait-to-touch textures are making a comeback!

When you design your table, it’s a place where a wide range of colour matching choices come in to play! Choose what you like and have fun with it!
The best thing about colourful table settings? Their design doesn’t have to be in sync with the interior of your home! Whether you have a country home, modern, eclectic, or traditional, the table is where you can incorporate a pop of colour through tablecloths, flatware, and place mats! Choose beaded place mats or napkins for their diverse range of colours and flavour. Say goodbye to traditional silver flatware and splurge on gold-plated cutlery with artistic and stylish designs. If you’re home or space is decorated with light or neutral colours, then the table setting is where you can add dimension with dark hues such as indigo, purple, fuchsia, and emerald green.
Another big hit for 2016? Naturally carved and finished kitchen and dining tables. Any type of dinnerware from modern, to china, asian, or contemporary matches with a natural solid pine or oak table.

It’s an inexpensive way to dress up any table if you’re looking to work with what you have in your kitchen.
