pstrongSetting a stylish and attractive dinner table is an art that is certain to make dinner guests feel that extra bit special. Keeping it simple is the trick to a stylish table./strongbr / br / Choose a href=http://www.johnjenkinsdirect.co.uk/Tableware.htm target=_blankdinnerware/a that is durable and dishwasher proof.!–more– My personal preference is for all white crockery and a href=http://www.johnjenkinsdirect.co.uk/Tableware_Cutlery.htm target=_blankcutlery/a in a contemporary design. Try to choose good quality crockery that is chip and scratch resistant so that it lasts.br / br / An important thing to consider when buying a dinner service or cutlery set is can you buy individual, replacement items. Inevitably plates and bowls will eventually get dropped, broken, cracked and chipped. Its much better to be able to replace any damaged items without having to go to the expense of replacing the whole dinner service.br / br / The same is true for cutlery. My partner often treats the cutlery drawer as a tool box and will sometimes reach for a table knife rather than track down a screw driver. Ive had to replace several knives and a few spoons that he has managed to damage in this way. Its always good if you can buy replacement individual items.br / br / But there is much more to setting an attractive table than the plates, bowls, knives and forks. a href=http://www.johnjenkinsdirect.co.uk/ target=_blankGlassware/a is also important and again I recommend simple, but stylish. It is recommended that you choose glassware that is dishwasher safe and keep a good stock of glasses as they often get broken. I suggest that you acquire a reasonable stock of wine glasses, tumblers and maybe a few shot or cocktail glasses if they are your favourite tipple. And if you like a little bit of champagne then you will probably want to make sure you have a set of nice champagne flutes.br / br / Choose crisp cotton or linen table napkins rather than throwaway paper ones. I recommend a set of practical place mats and coasters for daily use but then I choose a lovel crisp white table cloth with some matching napkins for dinner parties.br / br / Select an attractive centrepiece, maybe a piece of crystal glass or dried flower arrangement, and youll be ready to serve the food and wine. But that will be a whole new story./p
