I was looking to bring French country-style charm to my next dinner party – Dolly Parton's dining room is my unexpected blueprint
Dolly's dining table features patterned plates, colored napkins, classic silverware, and rattan placemats – you can get the look for under $8


Dolly Parton may be known for her prolific sound catalogue and often sequined outfits, but it turns out the musician lays out a fabulous table (we're not surprised).
When considering dining table decor ideas, selecting quality dishware, color-coordinated linens, and some seaonally-apropriate accessories is key to making the area look as visually pleasing as possible – and Dolly has checked all the boxes with one of her tablescapes.
Her simple yet elegant table, as seen on her Instagram page, features a mix of patterned plates and bowls, classic silver cutlery, orange-brown napkins, and cream crockery. Rattan placemats add some texture to the space, and provide further proof that the natural material is here to stay.
To make things easier, we rounded up a selection of products to recreate Dolly's effortless yet effective tablescape. Happy shopping!

Shop the look
Nothing feels more stylish to me than amber-colored glassware. These red wine glasses were designed to look like pieces found in a French antique store, and they are so chic.
This set has a white wash which is lovely for a coastal theme. On sale it works out as just over $20 per piece, which is a good price for rattan charger plates.
Mini
Designed to be beautiful enough to go straight from the oven to the table, this mini covered casserole dish is the perfect size and shape to showcase (and serve) all foods, whether it's a homemade pasta dish or our go-to dessert.
Blending vintage charm with everyday ease, the Avondale Melamine Dinner Plates from McGee & Co. bring a refined touch to alfresco dining. The soft botanical detailing lends a sense of quiet elegance, but they still carry the durable melamine construction ideal for family get-togethers. Generously sized at 10.5 inches, the plates offer ample room for grilled fare and seasonal sides alike.
A solid color napkin allows the patterned tablecloth to shine. The decorative stitching hem adds texture to the soft napkin, elevating a dining set with subtle sophistication that Dolly would surely love.
Crafted from durable 18/10 stainless steel, every piece in this set has a refined cuff detail and polished finish that complements both classic and contemporary table settings. With service for eight plus essential serving pieces, it’s as practical as it is stylish.
