Setting the table for a home cooked meal is made simple with a beautifully coordinated set of dishes. These sets come with cups, plates and bowls in matching colors to create symmetry on your dining room table. For everything from everyday meals to fancy dinner parties, coordinated dinnerware sets are a top choice.
Most Pottery Barn dinnerware sets come with 16 matching pieces, or enough to set the table with four identical place settings. These sets include the following pieces:
Though 16-piece sets are the most common option, some sets come with 12 or 20 pieces. 12-piece sets generally include everything from the 16-piece sets except for the mugs. 20-piece dinnerware sets include the dinner plates, salad plates, mugs and bowls as well as four extra pieces, which are usually saucers for the mugs. Pair any of these sets with a silverware set and a stylish placemat to finish the place settings.
Choosing the right material for your dinnerware sets will depend on the way it will be used in your home. Certain materials are better for everyday use while some have a more elegant finish and delicate feel that's best suited for dinner parties. There are four main dishware materials to choose from.
Be ready for any meal with coordinated dinnerware sets in your kitchen cupboards. These matching sets of plates, bowls and mugs allow you to effortlessly set an elegant table for four or more guests. Choose from stoneware, melamine, bone china and porcelain to get the right look for casual meals or fancy occasions.
