Make A Holiday Tablescape Statement With CorningWare Corelle & More

ROSEMONT, Ill., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Tis the season for at-home entertaining and holiday tablescaping. While decorating and preparing for guests is top of mind for many Americans, a recent survey* by Wakefield Research on behalf of the Corelle brand shows that more than half of Americans (52 percent) are embarrassed to host new friends with their current dinnerware. To host the perfect holiday party with a unique tablescape and forgo the shame of bad dinnerware, CorningWare Corelle & more stores offer stylish dinnerware solutions in one convenient location. The stores are a one-stop-shop for essential and picture perfect products, with everything from plates and glassware, to serveware and festive accent pieces.  

Once the proper dinnerware is in place, creating a stylish tablescape comes naturally. Chuck Schneider, senior director of visual merchandising and marketing for World Kitchen, offers these easy tips for a trendy holiday table:

Find inspiration. Whether it's the changing leaves outdoors or an antique family heirloom brought out every year, find inspiration to set the tone for the tablescape. This will help determine a style – from antique to shabby chic – and get a color scheme started. 

Balance is key. When bringing out the napkins, table cloths, placemats and other linens, balance bright, bold or busy patterns with some basics. Keep the dinnerware chic, sophisticated and simple with white statement plateware such as the Boutique™ by Corelle® line.

Get creative. Surprise visiting guests and bring unexpected pieces to the table. Seasonal items such as gourds and pinecones or toys and ornaments are simple touches that make a big difference.

For more inspiration, the following seasonal tablescapes were created by top bloggers using personal pieces and CorningWare, Corelle & more finds. They can be seen on ShopworldKitchen.com/HolidayTablescapes and will be featured in stores in Birch Run, Mich., Lancaster, Pa., and Oklahoma City, Okla.

• Red Head Can Decorate incorporated seasonal Thanksgiving foods such as pumpkins, gourds, cranberries and green beans as inspiration in her tablescape look. Her use of green ribbon tied to white Corelle Boutique Cherish dinnerware is a simple yet impactful touch.
• Stone Gable brought the outdoors inside with her tablescape, using pinecones and pieces of spruce trees for a rustic look.  She also used multiple types of Corelle dinnerware including the red Bandhani pattern and the Boutique Cherish pattern.
• Consumer Queen focused in on three main colors to complete a consistent and elegant look. Her use of dark brown, royal blue and real orange pumpkins pop with the Corelle Boutique Swept dinnerware on a wooden table.
