With a material combination of ceramics, glass, wood, marble and cast iron, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a style that doesn’t work for your table with this collection from WMF. We especially love the flat plates, and deep bowls in beautifully shaped stoneware. And while this collection offers multiple colors from soft blue to delicate rose, it’s their rich, velvety green “Lagoon Dark” that calls to us for autumn.

Brand: Hepp and WMF
Collection: Many!
Colors: Copper, Gunmetal. Gold 

Whether you are creating a fine dining experience, or you prefer a casual vibe, the right utensils will adapt to multiple environments. Hepp and WMF offer PVD coating on many of their collections which allows you to add warmth and dimension to your table. PVD is a process of adding a distinct color that gives your table a change of pace from the traditional silver. And in warm finishes like copper and gunmetal (shown below), this utensil collection is our go-to for every fall table.

Collection: Pearls Copper & Gold
Colors: Copper, Gold
Our favorite for: Lunch and light dinner

It may feel like “going dark” is the natural choice for autumn colors, but including elements of warmth through metallic finishes can add dimension and interest to your overall table. If grilled vegetables and cream-based chowders are on the menu, consider the Pearls Copper & Gold collection from Bauscher. With multiple sizes available, these plates developed with Noble China are not only beautiful, but they’re also versatile and functional.
