Finding fresh, fun ways to incorporate color into the design of your dinner table can be an exciting challenge. If you're someone who prefers a more subtle, minimalistic use of color, it all comes down to skillfully choosing the right hues and placement to keep things calm. If you're a fan of more maximalist, bold colors, you'll need to have the right eye for bringing multiple colors and patterns to the table (bad pun not intended) without creating chaos.
Lucky for you, we have an array of vibrant new arrivals perfect for adding pops of color—however big or small—to your table design. Whether it's a turquoise salad bowl, yellow cloth napkins, or an ocean-blue carafe, we've got you covered. Keep scrolling for 11 of our favorite new arrivals that'll help bring some color to your table.
