We know, we know. It may be hard to break away from the classic bright white table setting that we’ve seen so often in the restaurant industry throughout the years. While we love a classic look, 2020 is all about innovation and creativity. For those looking for an additional way to impress their guests in addition to their menu and service, a brightly colored eye-catching dish or serving tray is a great way to grab a diners attention. As already seen as a rising dinnerware trend in 2019, the exciting and daring implementation of colored pieces is a trend we expect to continue flourishing.
If it’s fitting to your restaurant’s overall design, restaurateurs are encouraged more than ever to infuse their creativity to their tabletop presentation.

Instantly bring a flat or dull tablescape to life with the addition of colored flatware.
