Place Settings

Planning the perfect table setting, one that will impress guests and make the meal memorable, requires creativity and planning. How many place settings will you need? Do you have a special theme or color scheme? Tablecloth, placemats, a runner, and napkins should set the scene, accessorized by the perfect flatware place setting. If your look is contemporary, opt for flatware in sleek, streamlined stainless steel with a polished finish. If you prefer a warm rustic ambiance, try a flatware set with richly textured handles in a dramatic black finish. If bling is your thing, go for the gold. With plan in hand, head to Bed Bath & Beyond to search our extensive collection of beautiful flatware place settings from the finest designers.Casual or formal, impress dinner guests with the proper placement of the dinner fork, dinner knife, salad fork, soup spoon, and teaspoon that comes in each 5-piece flatware place setting, and flanks each dinner plate. Here’s an easy way to always get it right. Forks always go to the left of the plate. Knives and spoons go to the right. Utensils for the first course are placed to the extreme left or right, with remaining flatware pieces placed accordingly working inward toward plate.
