Dinnerplates are a must-have for every home, as they allow for everyday family meals, and of course they also come in handy at parties. Below, we have prepared a practical guide to choosing the best dinner plates for the home, which will certainly help you make the right purchase decision - so read on.
Types of dinner plates
Dinner plates are the largest of the dinnerware types. They are used to serve the main course and must therefore hold the entire portion.
Round dinner plates are the most common type of dinnerware - their regular form is timeless and perfectly complements the character of any interior, from classic to modern.
Nowadays, square dinner plates have also gained in popularity, which also have a regular shape, but their design is much stronger, so they are perfect for modern settings. They give any interior a strong yet refined character. A perfect example is the VICTORIA 19/24.5 cm square dinner plate available in our range in white with slightly rounded edges, which is perfect for everyday use as well as for parties.
An interesting type of dinner plates are products with unobvious shapes, such as our RALPH BLACK set of 2 plates in hexagonal shape - ideal for minimalist and glamour interiors, as they have a simple design, but their black colour will certainly prove to be an eye-catching element of any table.
The classic is of course the white dinner plate, but why not add some extravagance to your interior with our HUDSON plates with a diameter of 27 cm in grey with embossed patterns on the rim. This shade is versatile and will work perfectly in modern settings.
The 25 cm DIWALI turquoise plates are also an interesting choice for the interiors, and can also be combined with the grey or white counterparts to create an eclectic table setting that will not go unnoticed.
What diameter is a dinner plate?
Classic dinner plates for the home range in diameter from 24 to 27 centimetres, a good example of which is the AFRODYTA 27 cm flat plate available in our range. However, the fashion in terms of design for this type of tableware item means that their size has varied strongly in recent years, so that consumers on the market can also find dinner plates for the home with a diameter of 26 to 32 centimetres.
How many dinner plates to buy?
An important point to consider when buying dinner plates for the home is how many pieces of this type of dinnerware will prove necessary for daily use. We recommend purchasing a larger number of dinner plates for the home in relation to how many people will be using them. For a family of four, a set of at least six dishes will work well. This way, even in the event of a breakage, we have a safe supply in the kitchen cupboard.
The online shop Mondex sells dinner plates by the piece, a great example of which are the black SHIVONNE 23cmxh3cm dinner plates with a delicate fluted rim, which will certainly prove to be a sensational setting for any table and dining room.
Pay attention to the material of the best dinner plates
Large dinner plates should not only be attractive, but also easy to keep clean. Many consumers are looking for dinnerware pieces that are dishwasher- and microwave-safe. These are mainly ceramic dinner plates for the home, made of a very strong material.
Nowadays, many porcelain dinner plates can also be cleaned in this way, but this is not recommended for decorated tableware pieces. One of the exclusive models in our range, the KAMELIA dinner plate with gold stripe B014 24 cm, looks beautiful on the table, but in this case the manufacturer recommends cleaning by hand so that the gold decorations do not fade.
