Contemporaries have ensured that the new generation of women have a lot of options when it comes to this. This is why trends in kitchen decor are ever changing, such as the color scheme of kitchen cabinets. So, let’s check out some fascinating tableware trends in 2020!
Stainless Steel Is Making A Comeback
Steel was commonplace in the olden days. You would find steel plates, bowls, and even glasses in every household. It used to be a sign of aristocracy. They were used for a long period of time and good care was taken for their longevity. But with time, their use faded away. Surprisingly, when talking about tableware trends in 2020, stainless steel is included, as it has made a comeback. But the new generation of stainless steel dinnerware have intricate patterns and come in different varieties of colors, shapes, and sizes.
Environmentally Friendly Tableware
To lead a healthy and sustainable life, people have leaned towards living an eco-friendly lifestyle. And it is not only about eating and living healthy. The use of eco-friendly materials in tableware can help greatly with the environment. This is why clay, wood, and glass tableware are being used more and more. These are made in a much cleaner way, and easily decompose when disposed of.
Mixture Of Tableware
Out of all the tableware trends in 2020, the most surprising one is the use of different designs and types of tableware as one set on a table. We’re generally used to seeing sets of dinnerware being used at one time. And that is how it should be, or at least that’s what I thought. At a table, there are different people eating together that have different preferences when it comes to tableware, so they use whatever feels the most comfortable.
Silicone Tableware
In recent times, silicone has become a popular material in the world of tableware. These are not only easy to use but also very durable and reliable. And the best part is that they come in many different colors. Silicone tableware is heat resistant, which enables multiple uses of it in the kitchen. It is also non-stick as well. Plus the vibrant colors that silicone tableware comes in makes it an attractive choice and merits it’s inclusion in the list of tableware trends in 2020.
Variety Of Shapes
Most of us are used to round-shaped tableware. But recent trends have shown that different shapes are being used now, starting from square shapes to odd-looking shapes. It also depends on the type of food that is being served. Tableware has been made to be more efficient, so there are numerous variations that can be folded or stacked in different ways for easier storage.
Tableware plays an important role in our lives because we use it to consume the very thing that sustains us – food. We use dinner plates, bowls, forks, spoons, and many other types of tableware when we eat. The most popular size for round plates is 10 or 11 inches.
