Earthy ceramics dominate Salt&Pepper’s 2018 collection

With searches for ‘ceramic dinnerware’ up 185 per cent on Pinterest, it seems that earthenware, porcelain and stoneware are dominating the table top this autumn and winter and it’s a trend that is reflected in the new Salt&Pepper range.

As with every Salt&Pepper collection, the autumn/winter offering is large but it’s the earthy vibe that stands out the most for me. From shibori inspired pattern to 1970’s look earthenware, these are our top picks.

Nomad
Perfect for those that covet a world-traveller vibe, the appropriately titled Nomad collection has been a perennial favourite for the brand and this season sees two new colour ways added into the mix – natural and rust. Featuring organic shapes and a handmade feel, this range is perfect for mixing and matching. The collection also features plenty of new designs too including a tablet holder, spoon rest, jug, garlic keeper and mixing bowls.

Form
Unglazed and raw in texture, the Form dinnerware collection is inspired by the colours of native Australia. The range is available in bisque, clay and black and as individual pieces or as a 16-piece dinner set. I have my eye on that pink!

Akari
Inspired by Japanese shibori dying techniques, the Akari dinnerware range brings fabulous texture to the tabletop. A beautiful indigo colour, you could layer in a couple of pieces with your existing whites for a seasonal change and this range is available as a 12-piece dinner set or as loose pieces too.

Sachi
Lovers of 1970’s earthenware will love the Sachi collection. Designed with a natural, raw stoneware base and embellished with a coloured, drip glaze feature around the rim, this range is the perfect complement to the earthy interiors trend.

Eden
Made from terracotta, the Eden range includes table top and floor planters for both inside and out. I love the gorgeous gold accents.

Bond
Not exactly earthenware but I love the old-world glamour of the Bond collection and thought you would too – I just had to include it! The decanter and matching glassware are made from pressed crystalline glass.

Spring/Summer 2015 collection offers more than Salt&Pepper

Where to begin? Salt&Pepper has once again produced a vast and varying collection – from watercolour to pastel, marble to metallic, Scandi to sophisticated, all tastebuds will be satisfied.

Cumulus_0257

One of my personal favourites is the indigo and pale blue of the Cumulus collection. Paired with some rose gold cutlery from the Host range and you have some majestic, yet effortlessly summery dinnerware.

If you want to extend the gold theme outside the food scene, giant alarm clocks and metal-framed lamps are the way to go. They even have scented candles in rose gold containers!

Marble_0233

The Marble range also deserves a noteworthy mention, because who doesn’t love marble (although it isn’t real marble!)? Plus it will team perfectly with all that gold decor and cutlery.

Eclectic_0236

Other ranges include the Metro, which brings minimalist measuring spoons, mixing bowls and spice racks into the kitchen, and Loft, a mix of wood and bold graphics. There’s also Café, an understated way to enjoy your tea or coffee at home with matching block colour cups and jugs, and Pastel, which has a more high-tea-in-an-English-manor-feel to it.
