The considered table

Begin with the number of places

Choose a dinnerware set with four or six settings, then match flatware by the number of guests. Pieces and place settings are different: check the included list for every set.

Give each silhouette room

Lay the dinner plate at the centre, with a smaller plate or bowl as needed. Keep glassware above the plate and serving pieces within easy reach.

Add a shared centre

Choose an oval platter, a group of bowls or a tea set to suit the meal. Each collection is sold separately; table photographs show styling combinations.
