Tabletop trends: Cool combo
Style Setters tabletop
Lindsey Strader -- Home Accents Today, 2/1/2009
Palettes of serene blue and organic green set the table in high-style this season and have tabletop designs looking ever fresh. Although this trend-right duo exudes cool undertones, the patterns and designs created are truly hot. Say sayonara to stark white and embrace these funky, color-stricken splendors.
Graceful deep blue scrollwork trimmed in apple green embellishes the Carlotta square plate from Now Designs. A lush jungle of greenery is punctuated by dainty blue birds and dandelion puffs on Caskata's Dandelion platter, handmade of reinforced porcelain and bone china by artisans ($130). The Blue Rialto Limoges Collection dinnerware references the multiple Romanesque-style arches that define the architecture of the Rialto bridge in Venice, made of porcelain from Vellum ($42 to $95). Celery green and sky blue saturate the Spring Damask Collection dinnerware from Golden Rabbit ($8 to $34).

Katerina DouE!ová's Gema vase from Moser debuts in aquamarine with reseda accents. The cut facets of the vase create a noteworthy interplay of light and color evocative of a brilliant gemstone ($2,215).


Verdant green leaves and delicate branches adorn the Ikebana Collection fine china from Médard de Noblat ($150, five piece setting).
