When you purchase new dishes for your kitchen, you want to pick up a service set that will survive the test of time. Corelle's 18-piece dinnerware set in winter frost is a perfect white that is an excellent addition to any kitchen. These dishes are also all chip-resistant, so you can be sure they'll survive the dishwasher and dozens of dinners to come. The set comes with six dinner plates, six lunch or dessert plates, and six bowls.

A Pop of Color

Gibson Elite Soho Lounge 16 Piece Dinnerware Set

Ten colors to choose from

When decorating your home, one significant aspect of picking out items is color. Finding dishes in the perfect shade can be difficult, but the Gibson Elite Soho Lounge 16 Piece Dinnerware Set comes in several different shades, including this lovely teal. The plates are squared off, making them easier to stack and come with enough plates, bowls, and mugs to seat a family of four.

Stoneware Selection

Elama's Mystic Waves 16 Piece Dinnerware Set

Wavy Edges

If you want to show off a bit of personal style and flair, then looking for dishes that reflect your tastes is vital. If you're looking for something that will catch the attention of your guests, the Elama Mystic Waves 16 Piece Dinnerware Set is excellent. They're made of stoneware with a matte finish, which helps you to hold onto them even when they're wet from washing. They have a wavy textured edge with a pattern and are both microwave and dishwasher safe.

Bright and Cheery

Gibson Home Casa Stella Dinnerware Set

Make a statement with your dinnerware

If you want a bright and colorful set of dishes, Gibson has tons of excellent options, but the Gibson Home Casa Stella Dinnerware Set is a shade apart. These microwave safe and dishwasher safe plates and bowls come in bright red and white with a textured pattern around the rim. You get only what you need, so there are four bowls, four dinner plates, and four dessert plates.

Set the table

Dishes are an integral part of your kitchen, and if you're going to set the table for more than you and one other person, having a real dinnerware set is crucial. You're going to need to buy dishes every few years unless you want to end up trying to host a dinner party while nobody has matching dishes on the table. We've picked out some excellent options that can work for any house or occasion. However, our absolute favorite is the Corelle Winter Frost Dinnerware Set. These dishes won't chip, come in a gorgeous white, and there are enough plates, bowls, and mugs to serve dinner for four people at once.

If you'd prefer something that's got a bit more color to it, then the Elama Mystic Wave 16 Piece Dinnerware Set should catch your eye. It features bold and beautiful colors, a matte glaze to help you hold onto dishes, and a textured pattern near the rim of each plate.
