Geometric Dinnerware Ideas
Geometric dinnerware can allow you to set a fresh and modern table, whether you opt for bold geometric prints or clean white dishes in unusual shapes. Bold colors can combine well with geometrics, or you can opt for softer tones or classic white. Geometric plates and tableware can work for a casual or a formal look, depending upon the design of your dinnerware and the linens you choose. Does this Spark an idea?

Shapes
-
Geometric dinnerware is available in a variety of shapes. Classic round plates, cups and bowls may feature geometric prints. Square and rectangular plates and bowls are easy to use and versatile, while still creating a modern look. Dishes in triangle or rounded-triangle shapes are a bold choice for your table.
Patterns
-
Geometric dinnerware can add color to your table with bold prints. Everyday geometric designs may include a simple border print on a white plate. Accent pieces in vivid allover prints can be used with coordinating border prints or solid dishware. Glazes on your geometric dishes can add pattern to your table as well.

Colors
-
While classic white is an excellent choice for geometric dinnerware, particularly in porcelain, you can also opt for colored stoneware in geometric shapes. Combine several bright or pastel colors for a whimsical table. Rich saturated red combined with glossy black in geometric shapes can create a rich Asian-inspired look.
Dinnerware Combinations
-
Combine geometric dinnerware with more traditional pieces to expand your options. Consider setting a table with basic round white plates, but using a colorful square or triangular salad plate. Rectangular platters can be used with your usual everyday dishes or china to modernize your table.
Setting the Table
-
Simplicity is key to setting a beautiful table with geometric dinnerware. Choose a solid color tablecloth and napkins in a matching or boldly contrasting color. Add several small glass vases filled with bold flowers or a single large one. Brightly colored mums or gerbera daisies are a cheerful accent for a casual table, while a single large peony bloom or hydrangea stem can make a stunning centerpiece for a more formal table.
