How to Choose the Perfect Dinner Set for Your New Home
Whether you renovated your house, or are setting up a newlywed home, every detail contributes to creating a space that reflects your personality. Among the essentials, a beautiful dinner set is more than just tableware—it becomes part of your daily life, your celebrations, and the memories you create around the table.
At Los Artisans, we believe that a dinner set should be both functional and beautiful. Handmade by skilled Egyptian artisans, our collections combine timeless craftsmanship with contemporary design, making them perfect for both everyday dining and special occasions.
Here's what to consider when choosing the right dinner set for your new home.
1. Think About Your Lifestyle
Before choosing a design, ask yourself how you'll use your dinnerware.
If you enjoy hosting dinner parties, you'll want an elegant set that makes an impression while offering enough serving pieces for guests.
If you're looking for everyday dinnerware, durability, practicality, and easy maintenance should be your priorities.
Fortunately, you don't have to choose between beauty and functionality. Every Los Artisans dinner set is handcrafted from premium earthenware and designed for daily use. Our collections are food-safe, lead-free, dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe, allowing you to enjoy artisan craftsmanship without compromising convenience.
2. Choose a Style That Reflects Your Home
Your dinnerware should complement your interior style.
For Modern Homes
If your home features contemporary décor, clean lines, and darker tones, the Dark Fusion Collection offers a bold statement. Featuring deep black glazes with flowing blue tones and shimmering metallic accents, it creates an elegant tablescape that feels sophisticated without being overly formal.
For Artistic Interiors
Love artistic finishes, and avant-garde spaces? The Abstract Collection features rich glazes accented by abstract art. These pieces bring an artisanal touch to everyday meals while standing out beautifully against your interiors.
For Elegant Entertaining
If you enjoy hosting family gatherings or festive dinners, the Pearl Oyster Collection offers timeless sophistication. Its luminous finish pairs effortlessly with both classic and modern table settings.
3. Consider the Number of Pieces
A dinner set should suit the size of your household while allowing room for guests.
For couples or small families, a 12-piece (4 place settings) set provides everything needed for everyday meals.
If you regularly entertain, consider expanding your collection with matching serving platters, serving bowls, pasta bowls, mugs, and coffee cups. Coordinated serving pieces create a cohesive dining experience while making hosting easier and more elegant.
One of the advantages of Los Artisans collections is that many pieces are available individually, allowing you to grow your collection over time.
4. Choose Handmade Over Mass-Produced
Factory-made dinnerware is designed for consistency.
Handmade ceramics are designed for character.
Each Los Artisans piece is individually shaped, glazed, and finished by skilled artisans in Egypt. Subtle variations in glaze movement, color depth, and texture make every piece unique.
Rather than imperfections, these differences are the signature of authentic craftsmanship—a reminder that your dinnerware was made by human hands, not machines.
5. Don't Overlook Practical Features
Beautiful dinnerware should also simplify everyday life.
When comparing dinner sets, look for features such as:
- Dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning
- Microwave-safe for everyday convenience
- Food-safe and lead-free materials
- Durable glazing that withstands regular use
- Secure packaging for safe delivery
6. Think Beyond Everyday Dining
Your dinner set will be present during many of life's memorable moments.
Birthday celebrations.
Holiday dinners.
Family lunches.
Weekend brunches.
Anniversary meals.
Housewarming parties.
Choosing timeless, handcrafted dinnerware means you'll continue enjoying it long after current trends have faded.
7. Select Colors That You'll Love for Years
Trendy colors come and go, but timeless palettes remain elegant.
Neutral tones, deep blues, earthy browns, charcoal blacks, and soft metallic finishes are versatile enough to complement changing home décor while remaining stylish season after season.
Los Artisans collections are designed with longevity in mind, allowing you to enjoy your investment for many years without feeling outdated.
Why Handmade Dinnerware Makes a Difference
A handmade dinner set transforms an ordinary meal into a meaningful experience.
You notice the subtle variations in each plate.
The depth of the glaze.
The craftsmanship behind every bowl.
The story of the artisans who created it.
These are qualities that cannot be replicated by mass production.
At Los Artisans, every collection celebrates traditional Egyptian craftsmanship while embracing contemporary design, creating tableware that is both practical and beautiful.
