The dinnerware you choose should complement the style of your home and reflect your personality. The selections available today are vast and you can find affordably priced sets that will let you change the look of your table as often as you wish. Go formal or themed, contemporary or casual and brighten any space with vivid colors and artful graphic imprints.

Nearly everyone wants to own both a formal and everyday set of dishes. Four piece place settings are common, but you may want to consider eight-piece or even twelve-piece sets. Entertaining will always go more smoothly if you don't have to worry about having enough dinner plates and matching pieces. Also, you will worry less about replacement when you have an ample collection.

The style of plates and accessories you choose can be ornate, classic or subtle. Brighter colors or a bold pattern will require less detailed surroundings. You'll want to set these up as focal points on your table and perhaps coordinate with linens and a centerpiece. When you choose simpler styles, you can always dress them up or down with a selection of flatware and utensils.

You can purchase dinnerware individually or in sets. In some design circumstances, you'll want to mix and match colors and incorporate other designs. Choosing individual pieces makes this challenge more fun. In sets, you'll be able to have a uniform look with pieces that may include the standard plate, a salad plate, a cup and a bowl. Larger sets will include saucers, bread plates and more.

Themed sets are popular during the holidays. They add to the cheer of the season and present a welcome for guests. You'll find casual to formal designs that will become treasured heirloom pieces that you may even want to pass down to younger family members. These are excellent choices as housewarming gifts, too!

Families with young children or those who need a starter set will want to consider composite materials. They mimic the look of ceramics, but can withstand everyday abuse at the hands of little ones. They're also economically priced without sacrificing style and beauty.

Stoneware is an excellent choice for any style decor. It is a heavier material that also is an outstanding heat conductor. You can go from the microwave to the table and food will remain warmer longer. In this group, you'll also find some striking designs that can be a perfect fit for casual, country and contemporary settings.

Porcelain and china, in spite of their dainty appearance are hardy pieces for everyday use as well. In fact, they're more durable than stoneware and will provide years of enjoyment. You can select more traditional pieces that will serve well for formal gatherings, too. These are also excellent choices when you want a blend of both casual and elegant styling, sometimes called "cross-functional," in one set. Earthenware is a long-standing favorite and available in a wide range of detailed prints and patterns. This is the least rugged type of pottery, but is still durable enough to enjoy at the table. It's also a budget-friendly choice and provides a wonderful opportunity to display unique, one-of-a-kind pieces when entertaining.

Remember, your choice in casual dinnerware is just as important as the final decision you make for formal settings. These are the pieces you will see every day, so you want to find a great fit that will be pleasing to look at and just as enjoyable to use. The Dinnerware Showcase provides easy ways to shop by category, by style and by material so you can quickly browse all the great colors and patterns.
