Joanna Gaines Just Cemented Grandma Style as the Coolest Trend – Magnolia’s New Spring Collection Shows How to Do It Elegantly
Etched glass, antique-style dinnerware, and crochet: Magnolia's new tableware collection is a masterclass in nostalgic style
When it comes to homeware, I’m always keeping a close eye on emerging trends – and I’ve been especially delighted to see vintage style firmly back in the spotlight.
Country grandmother-inspired tableware completely won me over last year, and if you thought it was just a passing phase, think again: the look is proving more enduring than ever. In my opinion, no one captures this nostalgic aesthetic quite like Joanna Gaines – particularly when it comes to Magnolia's spring tabletop collection.

The grandma chic aesthetic might conjure visions of chintz and faded florals, but it is in fact the epitome of cozy nostalgia. Designers have embraced this heritage look with fervor, experimenting with everything from plaid prints to velvet textures – and Joanna Gaines has added her signature rustic touch.
Alongside farmhouse-style stoneware (such as the gorgeous heirloom garden pedestal serving bowl), Magnolia's new tableware collection contains charming pieces such as antique copper serving tongs, a carved wood egg tray, and vintage-inspired navy plates. From the serveware to the kitchen accessories, every piece feels delightfully retro and yet utterly timeless.
Blending cottagecore flair with time-honored patterns and silhouettes, I'd say that this collection is the perfect addition to your hosting closet. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or an intimate gathering, you'll reach for these pieces time and time again.
