Trendy and attractive cutlery can enhance the decoration of a kitchen and give it a touch of sophistication when matched up with appropriate tableware. If laying out the cutlery in the right manner is tough for you then always have the latest cutlery and tableware, when you have guests for dinner or lunch so the attention gets diverted. While combinations of ceramic and metallic tableware with artistic embellishments were trendy during Colonial times, peoples tastes have changed drastically since then. In today’s world, colour is of prime importance in clothing, interior décor and the same holds true even for cutlery.

Choose warm colours

When one is hungry the colour or design of the plate, spoon or fork does not hold much significance except as a tool for eating. But experiments show that food is relished more by adults and children when the cutlery is bright and attractive. Warm colors like yellow and red are able to capture attention of people easily and even food product manufacturers package their products in these colours. Research also shows that while street food can be relished better with warm colourful spoons in red and yellow, expensive food like caviar or cheese will taste better when eaten off the tip of a silver spoon or fork.

Ceramic DIY look

The beauty and class of ceramic flatware is timeless and even after being used for centuries it is treasured by owners. Most early cutlery manufacturers made ceramic knives to spoons and forks as they were more hardy and sharp. Slowly the demand for novelty led to creation of custom designed ceramic knives and forks which became treasured possessions like silverware and remained with families across generations. The simple set of ceramic glass and spoons here could belong to any country style kitchen. The best advantage of ceramic cutlery is that it compliments all kinds of tableware and can be easily maintained as it does not retain stains after wash like metal cutlery.

Wooden (DIY Look)

Wooden cutlery is available in different finishes some of which are painted while some are just given sandpaper finish to make them smooth and safe to use while eating. As wood cutlery is bio-degradable most people use it as disposable cutlery for outdoor events like barbecues and picnic lunches. The unpolished appearance of wooden cutlery here in different colors is because they have been carved out of different varieties of wood. Wooden spoons are common in South East Asian communities where they are carved out of bamboo and are used for serving and eating.

Mettalic Pink & Blue

Making children eat their meals is a tedious task and every parent tries to make meal time fun and exciting by either trying out new recipes or switching on favorite television programs. Colourful cutlery and tableware is just another way of encouraging a fussy child to eat its meals and enjoy it too. Cutlery can be entirely made of metal or by a combination of metal and other materials. The enchanting flower and lace pattern of this tableware from Emeshome with matching metallic pink and blue cutlery will tempt any child to finish the meal and relish it too.
