Without a doubt, fall kicks off the busiest entertaining season of the year with the arrival of Thanksgiving. It’s a wonderful time of year to seek warmth indoors.
Q: What kinds of trends are we seeing when it comes to fall tabletop decor?
A: The idea of ‘back to nature’ is at the top of the list - think of mini pumpkins and gourds, stems of fall leaves - get inspired and creative by looking outdoors!
Q: What colour combinations are hot this year, that can be used when setting your fall table?
A: Fall hues of olive, plum and peacock blues with grey as a neutral is the main colour story this season. Bright oranges, deep reds, muted greens and browns are also great colour choices. More neutral tones layered with white dishes create a rustic or traditional feeling table. For a more urban or formal look, choose deep jewel tones of red, blue and purple used with grey as the neutral.
Q: Are there any new trends in serving ware?
A: In serving ware, the trend is toward the use of bright white dishes in interesting shapes and sizes, with elegant straight lines. For example, consider serving dessert on a long rectangular tray or dinner on a large square plate. From kitchen to table, stylish and practical ovenware, dinnerware and serve ware is being used for everyday and entertaining. There is a trend toward mini-servings in smaller dishes, for example, serving three mini-desserts on a long narrow dish.
Q: How can people keep their entertaining environmentally friendly?
A: Be natural with accents such as using things from your fall garden, use your old dishes but add a few new accents to complement the colour.
