About Dinner Sets

Whether your choice is casual, formal, traditional, or contemporary, products like dinner sets have something to match the taste of every customer. Your selection of bowls, accessories, and plates can make the dining table look fulfilling. So, do invest some time searching for perfect service sets that match the aesthetics of your home interior as well.

Although every section of your home is essential, the kitchen and the place for eating is somehow primary than others. Your dinner table is the place where the whole family enjoy their meal together in the morning, bid goodbye to each other for a lovely day, and finally come back and meet again during dinner time. Here, the dinner table, the tableware , and the food play an equal role altogether. If you are searching to buy a dinner set online in UAE, we suggest you emphasise a little about every family member’s choice. Something funky for children, and a detailed design for adults can be a good idea. Let’s explore more on this page.

Configuration of dinner plate sets

You can select the size of service sets according to the number of family members. But we would suggest having more if you have guests often at your place. The configuration also depends on purpose whether it is for a party or to be sent as a gift. Starting with a dinner party, you can have an 18-piece dinner set with six dinner plates, six side plates and six bowls. You can also customise the sets to have mugs, which usually comes in a 16-piece set. Also, the 12-piece set has the same configuration as the 18-piece, but the number is lessened to four. It may be perfect for smaller households. Or if you are a single person living, you can also have a 3-piece dinner set with one plat, one side plate, and one bowl. Remember that you can always customise the sets by adding jugs, pitchers, coasters, and more

Types of ceramic dinner set

Porcelain and fine bone china are the two most-used materials coming from the versatile ceramic. Porcelain looks glazed and also have a decorated surface. They can easily be used in a microwave but not suited for the oven. On the other hand, bone china service sets of stone and ash also have the supreme quality for tableware. And these are dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and oven-safe too. You can check out fabulous products of brands Euro Ceramica and Lynns for ceramic dinnerware. They have the best quality along with the authenticity of the renowned brand. You can also explore our retail search engine for more such products. We also have dinner sets and mugs for sale right now.

Corelle dinner sets

Corelle categorises its service sets as square-shaped dinnerware, modern Corelle, and Corelle classics. Clearly, this brand doesn’t fear experiments and often come out with bold products. If you choose the modern category, you will see products with intricate designs, a splash of colours, patterns, rose-themed sets, and many many more. On the other hand, Corelle classics have some vintage looking service sets. They either have minimal floral patterns or engraved solid designs. Pastel patterns are also things of the past, but the way this brand has revamped the art is mesmerising. You can find them all on our product search engine or even more other brands like this.

Glass dinner set

The classy look of glasswares are irresistible, but their fragile nature keeps families away from buying. Or they are kept in storage for festivities or a special day. However, you will find many products labelled as unbreakable or microwave-safe. These may be opal-glass where white colour is due to fluorine addition. The choice here depends on your taste, budget, and other personal preferences. You can check the range of such products at brands like Gibson and Melange. But before you start exploring service sets, we suggest reading a crisp buying guide that will help you in making your purchase a smart one.

Tips on how to buy Dinner sets online

The choice of dinnerware can even change the way you cook. It can bring style and practicality to your kitchen and even the household. Therefore, we have compiled an easy guide for you, so you can enjoy your tableware for years and never get bored with the same old set. However, families do purchase two service sets and like to have them changed often. But if you are the one that matches tablecloths, coasters, with the dinnerware, you might not do the changes frequently.

  • Set the tone – Casual or formal are two major tones people tend to purchase from, or you can just mix and match. You can have a vintage bowl with modern plates or vintage spoons with modern plates. However, if you do not want to involve in buying separate items, you can go for a contemporary tone without a doubt. White basics with designer edges have been popular in the market from years.
  • Shape and style – Square, oblong, oval, or round are the available shapes in the market right now. More funky designs are available for infants, but that is a different buy overall. Coming to the style, you should choose between coupe or rimmed. Couped ones are for salads and stir-fries where further cutting is not required. However, trimmed looks more formal and designed for cutting and eating.
  • Jugs and pitchers – These additional serving wares are necessary for drinks or just to bring decoration to the table. You can put the jug as a centrepiece with fresh flowers. It looks classy when the decoration matches your dinnerware. You can also have other additional serving ware like platters and sauceboats. You can try to buy all of them at the same time, so there is no mismatch that happens later.
  • Additional features – Durability, easy maintenance, and easy storage are some specifications you must consider before buying a product. Sometimes, the engraved patterns on vintage dinnerware make it difficult to clean if you hand-wash them often. But what if the product is not dish-wash safe? You should check this feature too along with microwave-safe or oven-safe if required.

We hope the tips will be helpful in our purchase. At least, they must have broadened your list of necessities. Apart from tips, you must have a handy list of brands to ease out your shopping drive. A few names include Corelle, Gibson, Melange, IndiaBigShop, Euro, Ceramica, Lynns, Higlow, and many others. You can find them all or more under our dedicated section: Home & Living .
