Today we are talking to Dream Team member and interior design pro\u00a0Jennifer Adams\u00a0about creating a table setting that lasts beyond the holidays!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> I have Noritake Platinum edged white dinnerware. What color placemats or tablecloth would be best to use with this china? I would like to be able to use the same setting for Christmas as well as afterward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">-Sharon L.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> The beauty of classic dinnerware such as yours \u2013 and the challenge \u2013 is that it will go with really anything you want! For a stunning and timeless look perfect for any time of year, choose a charcoal gray tablecloth, in either a solid or subtle, low-contrast print. Other rich colors such as dark navy, deep burgundy or spicy pumpkin as well as neutral colors will mix things up a little for the seasons.<\/p>\n<p>For the holidays and dressy settings, think silver and sparkles! Silver mesh or fabrics woven with silver and white threads will play up the platinum edge and create a wintry feel. Accessorize with shiny or aged silver ornaments to finish the look!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">-Jennifer A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><button class=\"more-link\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1241,"featured_media":103091,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1591,1021],"class_list":["post-73621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-a-pro","tag-ask-a-pro","tag-outdoor-design","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ask a Pro Q&amp;A: Choosing a Table Setting That Lasts Beyond The Holidays - Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Debating whether to paint a deck?
