Enhance Your Table With Porcelain Plates

So many memories start around the dining table and the porcelain plates available at Williams Sonoma help you set the stage for incredible family gatherings. With so many lovely designs available, it's easy to find plates that will become a part of your everyday table settings or the features of your special events.

Tips For Selecting Your Porcelain Dishes

Before you can pick out the ideal porcelain dishes for your home, it's important to take a few key factors into consideration, such as:

• Design Style: As you start to browse all the eye-catching porcelain plates in this collection, consider the overall design style of your dining area and the way you'll use the plates. If they are your everyday plates, they'll need an all-season design in keeping with the overall look of your home. When you're purchasing porcelain plates specifically for special occasions, you can choose a more playful or seasonal design.
• Solid vs. Pattern: Solid plates offer an all-season simple versatility. When you want to bring a little more pizzaz to your table settings, check out porcelain dishes offering a pattern over the entire surface or along just the rim.
• Color Scheme: Finally, consider the colors featured on the porcelain plates and how those colors will coordinate with the overarching color scheme of your dining area. Make sure to take into consideration wall color, table finish and any table linens you already have and love.

Completing Your Table Setting

Once you've discovered porcelain plates you want to feature at your next meal, browse the rest of the available options within that collection for bowls, salad plates, mugs and serving pieces that coordinate with the plates you've selected. Make sure to order enough place settings to accommodate the maximum number of seats at your dining table. You can even check out the flatware collections and drinkware designs at Williams Sonoma.
