Colored glasses bring life and personality to the table
For a long time, the classic white look dominated the dining table, but that is no longer the only way to set it. In many homes, colour has become part of the interior and adds warmth, life and personality. The same applies to the table, where details such as colourful glass candle holders, coloured glass vases and colored glasses can give the setting a more individual look.
On this page, you can browse our full selection of colored glasses and compare different types in one place. You will find styles such as shot glasses, champagne glasses and glasses for red wine within our wider range of wine glasses, all available in beautiful shades. If you want to start from the broader category, you can also explore our full selection of glassware as part of our overall table setting range.
Colored drinking glasses
Colored drinking glasses are often a practical starting point if you want to introduce more colour to your table. They are easy to use day to day and can also be included when you want a more considered table setting. If you are comparing options for everyday water service, a good place to continue is our range of drinking glasses.
A practical way to choose is to look at colour, size and shape together. Some prefer one shade throughout the table, while others like to combine several colours for a more playful expression. In this category, colored glasses make it easier to break away from a colourless look and create variation on the table with a simple change of glassware.
Colored wine glasses
Colored wine glasses combine wine service with a softer and more atmospheric expression on the table. They are often used when the setting calls for a little more detail, and they also make it easier to work colour into a classic table arrangement. If you are deciding between different wine glass types, it helps to start with how you plan to serve. Our full selection of wine glasses gives you a broader overview before you narrow it down to coloured options.
In this category, you can use coloured wine glasses to experiment with combinations that move beyond the traditional look. Some tables work well with one calm tone throughout, while others benefit from mixing shades across different glasses. When you compare styles, think about whether you want the glasses to stand out on their own or work together with the rest of the setting in a more balanced way.
Colored cocktail glasses
If you like serving homemade drinks, colored cocktail glasses can add more life to the presentation. Drinks are often connected with festive occasions, and the glass plays an important part in the overall impression. If you are exploring options for this type of serving, our selection of cocktail glasses is a natural place to compare shapes and styles.
Some users look specifically for glasses for mixed drinks, while others want a wider party selection. In that case, it can be useful to look across related categories such as shot and schnapps glasses or even beer glasses when planning a table with several serving options. Looking across categories helps you build a clearer overview before choosing the colours and glass types that fit together best.
How to use colored glasses in your table setting
Colour adds warmth and personality in the home, and the dining table is a natural place to work with it. Colored glasses can be used as a small change or as a more visible part of the overall setting, depending on how much contrast and variation you want.
If you want inspiration for using colored glasses on the table, these three starting points can help when you compare colours and build a coherent look:
Find balance in the colour combination: It can be tempting to choose many strong colours at once, but each shade often works better when it has room around it. A practical way to choose is to focus on a few colours and let them take the lead. That creates a calmer and more coherent expression while still giving the table personality.
Use different textures for depth: Colour is not only about shade. It also changes depending on the surfaces around it. If you combine colored glasses with textiles or reflective details, the colours can appear softer or more distinct. This can help the glasses feel more integrated into the table setting rather than standing apart from it.
Work with the light: Colored glasses change character when light falls on them. Daylight and candlelight can both bring out the colour in different ways, and placement on the table matters. If you want the glasses to play a clearer visual role, it helps to consider where the light meets the glass and how that affects the overall setting.
How this category helps you compare and choose
When shopping online, it is often easiest to begin with the broad function of the glass and then narrow your choice from there. Some start with water glasses for everyday use, others begin with wine or cocktail glasses for a particular table setting. This category brings coloured options together, so you can compare sizes, shades and designs across several types without having to search through each section separately.
If you are building a fuller table selection, it can also help to compare adjacent categories. Alongside water, wine and cocktail glasses, some tables are completed with details such as dessert glasses or additional serving styles for different drinks. Moving between related categories is often the easiest way to decide whether you want one consistent look across the whole table or more variation between each glass type.
