Modern Everyday Dishes For a Stylish Table

Set the table with modern everyday dishes from Williams Sonoma. They come in matched sets for an effortlessly coordinated look, and they're available in multiple colors and prints to complement any dining room decor.

Casual Modern Dinnerware Styles

If you want modern everyday dishes that go with everything, consider white porcelain. There are 16-piece Pillivuyt dinnerware sets with dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs for four. They're made in France and come in several styles -- including the simple Conran style and the ridged, column-inspired Plisse style.

The Le Creuset Coupe dinnerware collection is another French-made option. These pieces are crafted from high-fired stoneware for durability with a glossy enamel glaze; they come in an array of colors to coordinate with Le Creuset cookware. These dinnerware pieces are resistant to chips and cracks, and you can safely use them in the freezer, broiler and microwave. Plus, they're dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

There's also the Transatlantica dinnerware collection. These pieces were designed by Brazilian artist Brunno Jahara to celebrate the relationship between Brazil and Portugal. They're made from high-fired porcelain with a clear, high-shine glaze, and they feature a blue-and-white nautical pattern that goes with most any flatware and drinkware styles.

Opt for understated elegance with Luna dinnerware. These pieces are expertly crafted in Portugal from durable high-fired stoneware, and they're hand-finished with a reactive glaze for artisanal flair. They're microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, and there are multiple colors available to complement your table. You can purchase the bowls and plates as separates or in sets of four for a perfectly matched place setting.

The Cyprus Reactive Glaze collection is another type of casual modern dinnerware to consider. These dishwasher-safe pieces are made from high-fired stoneware and finished with a reactive glaze that makes each one unique. A wide range of colors are available, so you can find a hue that matches the rest of your tablescape. You can microwave these plates, bowls and mugs, and they're safe for use in the oven.

Table Linens For a Coordinated Look

Pair your modern everyday dishes with table linens in a coordinating color. It's easy to create a contemporary look with a hotel-inspired white tablecloth and any casual dinnerware set. If you want to showcase the wood grain of your dining table, opt for a table runner instead of a full-coverage cloth. Williams Sonoma also has cloth napkins and napkin rings in colors to match most any dinnerware and linens.
