The Timeless Appeal of Blue and White Plates (And How We're Styling Them Now)
There is a reason blue and white ceramics have dominated dining tables for centuries. It’s the ultimate, unbeatable colour combination. But if you’re worried about it looking a bit too "grandma's display cabinet," don't be. Here is how we are bringing the classic look bang up to date for modern dining.
What are the best types of serving platters for a grazing table?
The key to an impressive grazing spread is variety in shape and scale. Move away from matching sets and instead mix ceramic serving bowls with organic, wavy edges and flat, asymmetric wooden boards. Combining different textures—like high-gloss glazes next to matte, raw-stone trays—adds visual tension and a "collected" feel to your table.
How do I style food on a serving plate to make it look professional?
To achieve a chic, effortless look, avoid being too neat or symmetrical. Aim for the "intentional pile" by starting with anchor items like a large cheese wedge or a bowl of olives, then let charcuterie and fruits spill naturally over the edges. Using oversized serving plates allows the ceramic itself to frame the "beautiful chaos," making the food look abundant and inviting rather than cluttered.
Can oversized serving platters be used for casual entertaining?
Absolutely. One of the best ways to host is the "coffee table dinner," where a sturdy, oversized platter acts as a portable feast in the living room. They are also perfect for kitchen islands, creating a casual "drop-in zone" for guests to graze while you mix drinks. When not in use, these oversized trays can be leaned against your kitchen backsplash as functional decor, ensuring they work hard for you even between parties.
