When Anthropologie first launched their Bistro Tile designs, it went totally viral. The black and white mosaic designs brought personality to kitchenware, from mugs to plates and even charming platters. It's an Anthro Home staple.
And the brand has just launched The Bistro Tile Collection: Italia Edition, an instant elevation of the iconic range, offering summery blue and white designs that bring a heavy dose of Amalfi Coast style to your kitchen.
The new platter deserves a permanent place on your kitchen shelving – it's the easier summery update.
This Bistro Tile range is undeniably one of Anthropologie's most iconic collections, so a new iteration or colorway can feel like a make-or-break moment. But the Italia Collection is perhaps the best yet.
The OG black, white, and gold colorway has been swapped for a coastal-inspired blue, white, yellow, and hints of red, a brighter yet not overwhelming palette that invites the essence of summer into your cooking space.
Think stoneware platters adorned with blue and white striped borders, Buon Appetito slogans, and charming lemon motifs, dessert plates covered in La Dolce Vita and vine tomatoes, and (perhaps my favorite) an oil cruet in the same mosaic style with charming olives and hand-painted details.
And it's not just dinnerware that's made the collection; stoneware vases for seasonal blooms, trinket dishes for your keys or jewelry, and dish towels and napkins in that same Italian-inspired style.
I will be hanging this new plate on my kitchen walls, as well as stocking up on a set for the dinner table.
As beautiful as some of these pieces may look as part of a summer tablescape, it's the impact they will have on the kitchen decor that's got me most excited. The towel draped over a brass rail, the platter displayed on open shelving, and the cruet styled beside the cooktop, alongside my favorite recipe books for the season.
These designs are as practical as they are beautiful – you could even display the plates on your kitchen walls as decor, rather than using them as dinnerware.
Yes, these designs are pretty and playful, and feel just right for the kitchen trends of 2026, but they are also incredibly timeless. It's a classic color palette, and the designs feel perfectly traditional with the mosaic design and charming product depictions.
