Dinner plate sizes can vary depending on the maker, style and intended use of the individual piece, so reviewing product details before purchasing is recommended. At Eleish Van Breems Home, we carry dinner plates across a range of styles and formats suited to different table settings, including pieces that complement the copper utensils in our collection.
How many dinner plates should a household own?
The number of dinner plates a household needs depends on the size of the household, how often you entertain and the type of table settings you prefer. Our team recommends choosing a format that covers everyday meals and allows for additional place settings when entertaining guests. Pairing dinner plates with coordinating pitchers & carafes can help build a cohesive table.
Which dinner plates layer well on a table?
Dinner plates can be layered with smaller salad, starter or side plates to create a more varied table setting. Our team often combines complementary colours, patterns or finishes to add visual interest, and adding salt & pepper shakers to the arrangement can help complete the setting without making the table feel overcrowded.
How should dinner plates be cared for?
Care requirements for dinner plates can vary depending on the finish and design of the specific piece. Review any care guidance provided with the individual item before washing, particularly for pieces with decorative details or specialised finishes. When in doubt, use a cleaning method appropriate for the individual piece and follow the maker's recommendations. Our pitchers & carafes collection includes complementary tableware pieces with individual care details.
