2025 Dinnerware Trends to Watch Out For
A new year begins, and with it, fresh trends to explore! Even though 2025 has only just begun, there's already plenty to get excited about, just like dinnerware trends.
We're way past the days of just eating food on a plate. It’s more about the entire experience. In a way, we’re now focusing more on beautifully plated dishes.
From elegant plates to stylish cutlery, these are just a few that make your meals more "Instagrammable."
Take a look at these dinnerware trends for 2025:
1. Eco-Friendly Materials
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s changing the way we eat, live, and even set the table.
This year, sustainable dinnerware is the real star. Brands are getting creative about making dishes that look great and don't trash the planet. Here are some eco-conscious choices in dinnerware:
-
Recycled ceramics and glass
Many manufacturers are turning broken ceramics and glass into totally new dishes. If processed properly, recycled glassware can be turned into sustainable lead-free drinkware.
-
Bamboo fiber plates
These lightweight plates are eco-friendly, chemical-free, and look awesome on your table. Good for the planet, great for your table.
-
Natural stoneware
It's the classic that never goes out of style. Made from natural clay, they're super thick and tough. In fact, these dishes can be stacked and used daily without chipping or breaking.
As people become more conscious of what they choose, these materials are a great way to achieve both style and sustainability.
Here at Catalonia Plates, our tableware is sustainable because they are handmade, and designed to last. We are proud to say that our haute cuisine tableware is expertly crafted by PORDAMSA, a company that believes in sustainable design and artisanal elegance.
2. Handmade Details and Designs
Now that mass-produced dinnerware sets are everywhere, handcrafted pieces are making a strong comeback this 2025. People look for:
- Hand-painted designs with unique details
- Textured and uneven edges
- Locally made ceramics
These are just some of the things that make handmade tableware appealing.
At PORDAMSA, all our fine porcelain and glass creations are handmade. These are all crafted, fired, and polished by hand with an emphasis on detail and quality.
Each piece is unique because the company uses traditional manufacturing processes. This return to artisanal charm makes dining feel a lot more meaningful.
3. Bold Colors and Playful Patterns
In the previous years, monotones and neutral tones have had their moment. But this 2025, colors and patterns take center stage. Some trending hues and designs include:
- Deep emerald greens and earthy terracotta browns
- Crisp lacier whites
- Modern geometric patterns
- Deep blues and golden yellows
Don’t be scared to mix and match different colors and patterns. Just be playful with your tableware options. This can give you the freedom to make your table setting more personal and more like “you.”
4. Matte and Textured Finishes
Dinnerware plates and bowls with unique finishes are becoming more popular this year. With a more organic and modern feel, matte and textured dinnerware have the following features:
- Soft-touch matte glazes
- Speckled or rough-textured ceramics
- Brushed and sanded surfaces
Catalonia Plates offers several collections with matte and textured finishes. Here are some options you can check out:

5. Space-Saving Dinnerware Sets
Minimalist living continues to influence home design, including dinnerware. Compact, multifunctional pieces are trending and in demand.
Stackable tableware, convertible plates, and dual-purpose bowls are just some examples that come to mind.
