Dinnerware bursts with color for fall entertaining
(BPT) - The autumn leaves bursting into vibrant reds, lively oranges, and brilliant yellows signal a new season for
home entertaining. If you need a little inspiration, look no further than your favorite outdoor spot to update your table
setting with the hottest colors for fall 2014.
"Contemporary versions of classic colors are trending in the interior design realm this fall," says John Griffith, visual
merchandiser for dinnerware retailer Replacements, Ltd. "Rich deep Pantone colors including Sangria, Aurora Red,
Cognac and Misted Yellow reflect the abundance of color you see outdoors. The new Fiesta color, Poppy, is perfect for
autumn. Metallic finishes are also wildly popular, such as gold and copper."
Customers frequently ask Griffith and designer Julie Robbins for creative guidance to refresh their family heirloom
pattern table settings. Pattern blending is a specialty of Robbins.
