The Breakfast Club: Give Your Morning A Stylish Start With Must-Have Tableware
They say it’s the most important meal of the day, so let’s make it setting the breakfast table extra special. We’ve looked at three interiors trends and worked them into our breakfast table set-up. So whether you’re after a boiled egg, a tower of pancakes or simply a black coffee, we’ve found the crockery, cutlery and toast racks to kick off your day in style.
Hands down, I love breakfast. Yep, give me a long leisurely morning any day, brimming with frothy coffee, freshly buttered sourdough, piles of fresh fruit and maybe even a cheeky mimosa. Restaurant brunches and hotel brekkies are the best, but what if you could recreate the experience in the comfort of your own home? No need to get out of your pyjamas – sounds good, right? Order in or cook up a storm and lay the table with a fresh tablecloth, serving platters filled with pastries and mugs, bowls and plates in the theme of your choice.
Depending on your mood or interior preferences, we’ve rounded up three looks to get you started. Maybe you’re loving cottage-core with vintage feels, then discover our pick of cups and saucers both you and your gran would adore. If that’s not cutting it, perhaps you’re ready to amp up the colour and go all out with prints and patterns, much like a Big Mamma restaurant. Finally, for the pared-back fans, we tempt you with uber-chic minimal pieces in true Skandi influencer style.
The Minimalist Breakfast Bar
Barton Croft, Set of 2 Small Plates in Milk, £52.00
Laurena Lawson began Barton Croft with a vision of producing simple, understated pottery with a homely charm. After outgrowing her production studio in Hampshire where every piece was made by hand on the wheel, the collections are now made on a larger scale in Portugal. And yet, every stage of the making process still involves a person, and every piece is still touched by hand.
