Mixed Pattern Tablescapes

May 5, 2010 by Allison Leave a Comment

mixed pattern - outdoor setting of mixed pottery tableware by cera mix studios via AtticmagMixed pattern on the table can include the tableware and cotton napkins selections

Next time you set the table, mixed pattern dishes, silverware and linens help create a unique dining experience. Of course, a unifying thread will pull things together.  This outdoor table is set for a casual afternoon meal with handmade dinnerware by Austin ceramicist Claudia Reese.

Various patterns are combined in both the tableware and cotton napkins selections.  The centerpiece bowl, covered with fresh lettuce leaves, contains colorful vegetables – a nice variation from the typical floral arrangement.  I couldn’t help but notice the evergreens in the background; an airy contrast to the heavy wood table.

A sunroom containing outdoor furniture features a round table covered in a striped tablecloth, which repeats the lines of the French garden chairs.  Cabbage leaf plates, matching napkins, whimsical napkin rings and beautiful flowers compliment the live greenery without overpowering.

The extra time it takes to mix textures, patterns and colors creates personality in any setting and, not to mention, it’s more fun.
