For years, the codes of a well-dressed table were to have a brand new matching service. Nowadays, the rules have changed. What could be more original than to compose a unique service, infinitely expandable with mismatched vintage tableware !

How to set a mismatched table with vintage and modern pieces!

Tip #1: Choose a theme

- THE RUSTIC THEME:

Opt for authenticity with pieces that are sometimes over 100 years old! Ironstone tableware, available in blue and green, will offer you a wide variety of floral patterns.

Tip #2: Combine Patterns

Whether for porcelain or earthenware, you can combine plates with different patterns as long as they are harmonious.

Tips:

- Stay within a range of colors.

- Find patterns that match each other... For example, the small flowers on vintage plates are often similar and can match perfectly.

Tip #4: Glasses & Cutlery

It's time to add the glasses and cutlery! You can very well use a pretty silver family cutlery set or play on the color reminder with your theme (gold, red, etc.).
Tip: Cutlery with a horn, wood or ivory Bakelite handle provides a guaranteed rustic effect.
