Tips for Choosing the Best Charger Plates for Your Dining Table

Charger plates are a fantastic addition to any dining table, adding a touch of elegance and functionality.
Here are some tips to help you choose the best charger plates for your dining setup:

1. **Color and Contrast**:

- Choose charger plates that add a pop of color to your table. This can help separate the plate stack from the tablecloth, creating a visually appealing contrast.
- Consider how the color of the charger complements or contrasts with your dinnerware and overall table setting.

2. **Size and Fit**:

- Ensure the charger plates are larger than your dinner plates, which are usually 9” to 11” in diameter. The chargers need to show outside the dinner plate rim to frame your place setting beautifully.
- If you have a small table, measure carefully to make sure the chargers fit along with all other table items. Chargers take up additional space, so planning is essential.

3. **Attention and Definition**:
- Use charger plates to draw attention to the plate stack. A well-chosen charger can highlight your dinnerware and create a defined, organized space for each setting.
- Chargers can help establish individual dining spaces, making your table setting look more structured and refined.

4. **Design and Detail**:
- Look for chargers with an interesting rim. Intricate or decorative rims can add an extra layer of detail to your table setting.
- Opt for simple designs that do not detract from the dinnerware. The goal is to enhance, not overshadow, the rest of your plate stack design.
