Set a Dramatic Table with Black Dinner Plates

Black is often the go-to color for adding drama, sophistication and effortless elegance to your decor, clothing or accessories, so it's no surprise that setting out black dinner plates is a simple way to elevate the look of your table. Black place settings are unexpected, making them a great choice for a dinner party where you want to leave a lasting impression, but they can also be an ideal choice for everyday use. Whether you're in search of black dinner plates for weeknight meals or something a bit more formal, Williams Sonoma has the dinnerware you need to make a statement.

Black Dinnerware Options

While black is often thought of as a formal color, you needn't reserve your black dinner plates for a black-tie affair. Williams Sonoma's collection of black dinnerware includes plenty of options that would be perfect for a casual weeknight dinner as well as styles that are more suited to a formal dinner party. The primary difference between these place setting styles is the material used. Porcelain dinnerware is the most formal option, durable stoneware plates are best suited for everyday use and shatter-resistant bamboo is the ideal choice for outdoor use. The black dinner plates available at Williams Sonoma also include a couple of beautifully patterned options, which look lovely by themselves or mixed in with solids or complementary designs. Read on for more about a few of the available options.

  • Open Kitchen by Williams Sonoma Matte Coupe Dinner Plates - Simple yet elegant, these sturdy stoneware plates feature a demi-matte glaze that enhances the modern, minimalist feel of the design. Available in black, white and grey, these microwave- and dishwasher-safe plates are part of the Open Kitchen Coupe collection that was developed exclusively for Williams Sonoma.
  • Honeycomb Dinner Plates - These stunning white porcelain plates feature a glassy black border with an 18k-gold honeycomb design and gold-trimmed rims. These plates look gorgeous on their own and make for a stunning table when layered with the coordinating pieces in the Honeycomb Dinnerware Collection.
  • Kinto Modern Bamboo Blend Dinner Plates - Inspired by contemporary Japanese ceramics, these durable plates feature faceted details and a finish that mimics the look of a matte glaze. These black outdoor plates are made of a blend of melamine and sustainable bamboo fiber, so they are lightweight, shatterproof and scratch-resistant.
  • Apilco Reglisse Porcelain Dinner Plates - Made in France by master ceramists, these sophisticated black porcelain plates are designed to beautifully showcase whatever food you're serving. The high-fired porcelain is remarkably strong, and the textured matte glaze is resistant to scratching, making these versatile plates durable enough for everyday use.

Complete the Look

Once you've picked out the perfect set of black dinner plates, you can turn your attention to the other tabletop essentials that will help highlight your new dinnerware. If you want to opt for a monochromatic look, you might consider investing in a set of black flatware. Alternatively, you could decide to play up the glamor with some luxe-looking gold flatware. In order to really highlight your black dinnerware, you will might want to opt for a light-colored tablecloth, but if you are aiming for a moodier look, a deep jewel tone tablecloth would be an excellent choice. Finally, your choice of a centerpiece will help to further define the look of your table.
