You can’t beat a cozy Christmas sweaters. There’s nothing that gives me that Hallmark-style festive feeling as fast as donning a classic festive knit – which is why I was thrilled to discover Pottery Barn’s Tahoe Fair Isle dinnerware collection. It looks exactly like my favorite holiday sweater, and it’s on sale right now.
If you’re perplexed by the idea of combining Christmas sweaters with tableware, trust me: this Christmas table decor idea is a stroke of genius. The Tahoe Fair Isle dinner plates and Tahoe Fair Isle salad plates boast the kind of holiday pattern that’s intricate but not excessive – and finished in a red and white color palette, I think they’re instant classics.
There’s plenty of opportunity to lean into maximalism with the Tahoe Fair Isle dinnerware collection: think cheerful red linens, gold flatware, and a show-stopping poinesettia centerpiece. If you’re after a more understated look, however, these pieces are more versatile than you might expect. I’d pair them with a crisp white tablecloth and a few red taper candles to create a simple, elegant look that just happens to include a few Christmas sweater-inspired prints.
Yet when it comes to dressing my holiday table this year, I’m spoilt for choice. Pottery Barn’s festive tableware sale is absolutely packed with treasures; in fact, my cart is practically overflowing. Here’s everything else I’m eyeing up right now (with Christmas apparel in mind, of course).
