Can you recommed some nice plates to go with our kitchen?

[mummyloveslucy]

Hi, our kitchen is cream country style with black granit worktops and dark wood flooring.
I've been looking at the denby jet striped ones, but I don't have any thing to compare with. My mum has Denby.
If you could recommend anything that would look nice in our plate wrack, please let me know.

I firmly believe plates should only be white

[mummyloveslucy]

Oh yes! I'll have a look at them.

[mummyloveslucy]

Really Cybbo?

[Cybbo]

Yes I do...then if one gets broken you can always replace. I get sick of patterns really quickly but white never dates or looks twee. Food looks better on a white plate imo

As much I as I love Denby patterns, I agree with Cybbo.

I've had my white plates for over 20 years. They never date, or age, or go out of fashion.

If I had the money I'd buy Denby Halo, though, for 'good' plates. I have the tea pot already!

I certainly think the main body of the plate should be white, border is up to you.

It honestly never crossed my mind to buy crockery to match a room design, I expect crockery to last significantly longer than the decor of a room.

Hmm, I see your point. These are on display though, so I wanted something with a bit of charactor.
I do like white bedding though.
