Your Birth Month Dinnerware Colors Revealed – Here Are the Best Sets to Shop According to Your Shade
From tourmaline to turquoise, birth month dinnerware is here to give your tablescapes a splash of personality
If you have a passion for interiors, you've likely heard experts talk about expressing your personality through design. But where is the best place to start? Color, of course, plays a huge role – and when it comes to creating tablescapes, I'm using the birth month colors trend to build unique and refined schemes this year. Trust me: birth month dinnerware is about to get big.
It might sound unexpected, but the birth month craze is one of the most popular color trends in the design world right now. The premise is simple: take the gemstone that aligns with your birth month – think garnet for January, right through to turquoise for December – and use that shade to inform your interiors. Paint colors are an obvious choice, but I'd say that birth month dinnerware is one of the easiest ways to lean into the trend.
If I'm honest, I can't believe I didn't try this out sooner. Browse the dinnerware on offer from any of your favorite brands and you're sure to find a birth month-inspired selection. As an August baby, peridot pieces will always pique my interest, and it didn't take me long to spot West Elm's Kaloh dinnerware set, which is finished in a gorgeous green shade. For a January theme, there's the garnet-colored Chelsea dinnerware set from Stone + Lain (JC Penney), while anyone with a February birth month can opt for amethyst-hued pieces like the Modulus Nightshade dinner set from Lenox.
Birth month shades are guaranteed to bring some elegance to your dinner table, but I love that the trend has a more playful side, too. Birth month Le Creuset colors took the world of cookware by storm recently, while keen gardeners can enjoy everything from birth month flowers to birth month fruit trees and even birth month herbs. I can't wait to introduce all my guests to the trend during my next dinner party – especially since we'll be using my own birth month dinnerware, of course.
