Eclectic Table Guide
Building an eclectic table is easiest when you start with a few makers whose styles contrast. Use the categories below to choose your mix.
Ginori 1735 Porcelain
Founded near Florence in 1735, Ginori brings centuries of porcelain craft to the table. The Oriente pattern, with its rich decoration, includes chargers, dinner and dessert plates, soup plates, mugs and oval platters, while Florenza adds teacups, coasters, a round box and sculptural vases. Shop Ginori 1735.
Serax and Casafina Stoneware
Serax's Feast collection is made for generous, relaxed meals, with charger, dinner, salad, dessert and bread plates, cereal bowls and a salad bowl in sets that are easy to mix. Casafina's Lisboa chargers and plates add a more traditional pattern to play against Feast's casual shapes. Shop Serax.
Glassware and Cups
Glasfabrik Kvetna's handmade Prose rocks, highball, wine and coupe glasses have soft, flowing shapes, while La Romaine's Ocean Glass and Paola Navone's seaglass-green Fish & Fish drinkware for Serax add color and pattern. Casafina's multicolor lungo cups come in a gift box of eight or a wooden box of 24. Shop drinkware.
Bold Accents
Alexandra von Furstenberg's acrylic Infinity coaster set, neon pink nut bowl and Cubic Treasure Box bring a pop of color and shine. Tom Dixon's solid brass Bone bowl and Ginori 1735's Florenza vases are sculptural pieces that work as a centerpiece or on a sideboard.
Linens and Flatware
Rentrayage's Prairie Patchwork tablecloth, made entirely from vintage fabric, is a natural base for an eclectic table, and Borgo delle Tovaglie's handcrafted round mirror placemats add an antiqued, reflective layer. Cutipol's Goa flatware and serving pieces have a slim, modern line that suits almost any pattern. Shop table linens.
Eclectic Tableware at Every Price
Eclectic tableware comes at every budget. Under $50, choose colorful kitchen utensils, handmade Prose glasses, a Glacier mug or bowl, and Serax Feast plate sets. Between $50 and $250, look at Ginori 1735 plates and mugs, Casafina Lisboa sets, Cutipol flatware, coaster sets and mirror placemats. Over $250, Ginori 1735 oval platters and vases, a patchwork tablecloth and a 24-cup lungo set make standout pieces for an eclectic dining table.
The Eclectic Table FAQs
What is eclectic dining?
Eclectic dining mixes dinnerware, glassware and accents from different makers, patterns and eras on one table. It feels collected and personal rather than bought as a matching set.
How do you mix and match dinnerware?
Start with one patterned piece, such as a charger, and layer plainer plates on top. Repeat at least one color or material across the table so different patterns feel connected.
What makes a kitchen eclectic?
An eclectic kitchen combines old and new, bold and quiet, and handmade and refined pieces. Colorful utensils, mismatched mugs and a mix of porcelain and stoneware are an easy way to start.
What chairs go with an eclectic dining table?
Mismatched chairs in different styles or finishes are a classic eclectic look. Keep one element consistent, like color, material or seat height, so the set feels intentional.
Do you have eclectic tableware under $50?
Yes. Colorful kitchen utensils, handmade Prose glasses, Glacier mugs and bowls, Cutipol pie servers and several Serax Feast plate sets are all under $50.
