It's hibernation season, and while I love a cozy home, I'm always trying to bring a touch of sophistication into the mix – especially when it comes to entertaining. I know I'm not the only design fan who's obsessed with the lived-in elegance of the Nancy Meyers aesthetic, and I've finally found the hosting equivalent: Nancy Meyers-inspired tableware, courtesy of heritage brand, Spode.
At its heart, the Nancy Meyers look is all about balancing warmth and style, creating the kind of interiors that feel curated, yet brimming with personality. Right now, I'm channelling the rustic British charm of the cottage in The Holiday, and I've been hunting for tableware to match.
It was recently that I spotted some Spode Christmas dinnerware in the Wayday sale, which sparked the idea that the brand would bring my Nancy Meyers vision to life. Spode's seasonal collections are coveted, and their signature floral prints call to mind visions of hosting a traditional afternoon tea party, some pieces are versatile enough to be used year-round (or at least brought out year after year during holidays).
If I had to define the Nancy Meyers-inspired tablescape I've had in mind, it would come down to a sense of effortless style. Think crisp linens (like Spode's woodlands tablecloth), expertly layered prints, and statement vases (like the tall trees square vase in the Kit Kemp for Spode collection) – all working together to create a refined and yet welcoming look. Luckily for us, it doesn't just exist in the movies: I've searched for all the Spode pieces you need to bring the Nancy Meyers look to your dining table. Check them out below.
