How many dinnerware sets should I start with?Updated 21 hours ago

Starting your Hommey dinnerware collection? Most of our ceramics are sold in pairs, including our Dinner Plates, Side Plates, Pasta Bowls, Breakfast Bowls and Dip Bowls. Our Serving Bowl and Serving Platter are sold individually, whilst our Cutlery Sets are a 4 piece set (1 x fork, 1 x knife, 1 x spoon and 1 x teaspoon).

Also, receive 20% off when you purchase 8 or more items from our Tableware Collection. The bundle is fully customisable, so you can mix and match pieces and colours to suit your table.

Not sure where to begin? Here's what we recommend:

Your first dinner set (serves 4)
2 pairs of Dinner Plates, 2 pairs of Side Plates, 2 pairs of Pasta Bowls and 2 pairs of Breakfast Bowls. That's 8 items, so your bundle discount is already unlocked. Just add some matching cutlery, and you have the perfect first dinner set!

For small families (3–4 people)
We suggest an 8-place setting, which is 4 pairs each of Dinner Plates, Side Plates, Pasta Bowls and Breakfast Bowls. It's enough to see you through the week, and great for if you have any surprise visitors for dinner! Don't forget to add two pairs of Mugs for your much needed morning coffee.

For those who love to host
Aim for 8–12 place settings, which is 4–6 pairs each of Dinner Plates, Side Plates and Pasta Bowls. Add a few pairs of Dip Bowls for sauces and sides, then finish the table with our Serving Bowl and Serving Platter.
