Grown-up Dinner Parties Made Easy with New Style Sisters Tableware Collection
A beautifully laid table is so grown-up. No need for over-the-top flowers or fancy place cards, a perfectly set table will always feel special, even when the meal itself is not. The Style Sisters tableware collection is, we think, the epitome of ‘effortless host’. It is designed to elevate even the simplest of meals to something truly special, without requiring hours of tedious preparation and endless cleaning.
The dinner plates form the solid base of the tableware collection and in their own right are perfectly beautiful pieces of stoneware in a tactile white finish with a Black rim. The slightly irregular shape to each plate gives each setting on the table its own individuality rather than all looking uniform and too perfect. The plates are a generous size at 26.5cm width, ideal for serving up large portions of your favorite main course, a hearty salad or even sharing dishes of food.
The side plates are equally useful for a number of applications. They are a great size for serving starters, or as a plate for serving bread or olives. They are also ideal for serving up small desserts or providing a plate for guests to leave their after dinner chocolates. Measuring 20cm in diameter the side plates are not too large for the table, yet are wide enough to be of use. The subtle wavy rim to the plate adds a relaxed feel to the styled look of the table.
The pasta bowls are possibly the stand out piece in this collection. The biggest bowl is 20.5cm wide and has a fabulous curved shape to it. It is perfectly suited to serving up pasta dishes, salads, risottos and even ramens. It also has the added bonus of being able to serve up one pot wonders such as hearty stews and curries in the form of a restaurant at home style bowl of soup. The black rim of the bowl ties in beautifully with the plates to create a fabulous tablescape, but the bowl is stylish enough to be used on its own as well.
No table is complete without the addition of a serving bowl in the middle. The Style Sisters Serving Bowl is beautifully shaped to create the perfect centrepiece for your dinner table. Measuring 31cm in diameter and 8cm high, the bowl is perfect for serving up a big leafy salad, herby roasted potatoes, buttery tossed pasta or even a big bowl of ramen-style soup. It also looks amazing stacked up with roasted root vegetables or a big bowl of warm dessert.
5 Table Setting Tips with the Style Sisters Dinnerware Collection to Make Hosting Dinner a Breeze
- Serve one dish in the centre of the table
For a lovely dinner party do not feel you have to serve 5 different courses. A large serving bowl of salad, herby potatoes, pasta or other delicious foods served in the middle of the table is a beautiful way to serve food and is so generous and welcoming to your guests.
- Use pasta bowls for more than pasta
The pieces really are so versatile. They can be used for serving up a creamy pasta dish or a delicious and nutritious grain bowl. You can fill them up with a rich and spicy curry or stew, serve up a hearty salad or even use them for serving up a warm and comforting one-bowl supper. Whatever the occasion, the deep bowls of the Style Sisters Pasta Bowls will always mean that there is plenty of food to go around.
- Keep the colour palette simple
This tableware is so understated yet stylish that you won’t need to do too much in terms of additional accessories. Add a few napkins, some glassware, some candles and a few sprigs of rosemary or eucalyptus to create a beautiful table that looks as if you have gone to a lot of trouble but haven’t!
- Use side plates for little moments
Use side plates to add a finishing touch to the meal and serve warm bread, olives, starters, cheese or use as dessert plates for sweet treats such as chocolates. The Style Sisters Side Plates are beautiful enough to be used as additional plates for your meal and will add a touch of polish to your setting.
- Let the tableware do the work
The most fabulous dinner party style is always simple. Let the plates, bowls and serveware have the focus of the table. Because they are already so different and have texture and interest, there is no need to complicate with candles, flowers, centerpieces and more.
