Plateware Perfection
Switching up your dishware is always a good way to start your dining-room makeover. Choosing the right dishes is also an easy way to show off your personal design preference, as well as the meals you prepare. A simple white collection, like this one from the Martha Stewart Collection, is both classic and modern, and looks great when set against the clean lines and natural textiles of this tablescape.
