After the festive season, many of us need to refresh our glassware cabinets and the glassware at The White Company is some of the best. They're simple and elegant and will work in any tablescape you are putting together.
In 2026, many of us are shifting our perspective to take life a little slower and live a more analogue lifestyle. Many of us are decluttering, both our minds and our homes, and leaning into the warm minimalism trend, which is less a 'trend' or a fad, and more so a genuinely timeless aesthetic that invites a more hushed and soothing overall look and feel.
Keeping things simple, classic, and uncluttered can help achieve this, and it is vital to invest in quality pieces that last, rather than opting for cheap and cheerful tableware that barely lasts a season. Instead, buy less, buy better, and intentionally choose pieces that you will still like in a decade from now.
This is why the current sale at The White Company is so exciting; it lets us achieve this for less than usual, and offers genuine value for money.
Tableware in The White Company sale has real perennial appeal. It can be used all year round, from Easter feasts to glittering autumnal dinner parties, it can be brought out time and time again.
All of these picks are useful to set a table for any occasion, and the key to dining table styling that feels seasonal is to add seasonal greenery and small touches on top that signify and represent the occasion. An armful of hydrangeas in a glass vase in the height of summer, potted hellebores, and a smattering of pinecones in winter, and you could use these gorgeous mixed felt egg decorations on each napkin at Easter.
