Plates

Find plates for everyday and festive occasions

A well-laid table is about more than food. It's about the atmosphere, the company and the details that make the experience complete. Dinner plates are a natural part of that - they not only support the meal, but also the look you want to create. A classic white dinner plate lets the colours of the food stand out. A soup bowl keeps the heat in for a nice soup. A rustic stoneware plate adds personality and edge. Plates bring the meal - and those we share it with - together.

At Kitchen Living Dining, we have many years of experience in selecting plates that combine quality, functionality and Nordic design. We only sell products that we would set the table with ourselves - naturally from recognised Scandinavian and international brands such as BITZ, Studio Round, Villa Collection and more.

Whether you're looking for a complete dinner plate set, individual stoneware lunch plates or colourful small plates for tapas, antipasti or sharing dishes, you'll find both inspiration and variety in our range.

Choose the right plate for the occasion

The right tableware doesn't just enhance the meal - it enhances the atmosphere. A lunch on the terrace with small, colourful tapas plates feels different than a Saturday dinner served on deep, dark stoneware plates. When the plate fits the occasion, both the food and the table setting become part of the experience.

Here in our shop, you'll find the perfect plates for any occasion:

• Dinner plate - for main courses and everyday use

Dinner plates are typically 26-28 cm in diameter, perfect for dinner and the big meal. Choose classic white porcelain or rustic stoneware, depending on whether you want a timeless or vibrant look.

• Lunch plate - for light appetisers

A lunch plate usually measures 20-23 cm and is ideal for both the lunch table and small dishes. Perfect for rye bread, small salads and portioned dishes.

• Soup bowls - for soup, breakfast and more

Cereal and soup bowls are versatile. Use them for hot soups, pasta dishes or a bowl of oatmeal with toppings. The deep shapes are available in both classic porcelain and robust stoneware variants.

• Small serving plates – for snacks, tapas and starters

Small tapas sets allow you to serve multiple small dishes in style. Create a relaxed and sensuous atmosphere with rustic, glazed designs.

• Pizza plate - large and spacious

A pizza plate often has a diameter of over 30 cm - perfect for a whole pizza, but also ideal for brunch and sharing dishes.

• Dessert and cake plates - for the sweet treat

Serve cakes, small desserts or cheese on fine serving plates. Choose from white, coloured or patterned plates - depending on the mood you want to create.

• Christmas plates - atmospheric tableware for the festive season

Create a true Christmas atmosphere with special Christmas plates or Christmas dinnerware sets for your festive meals.

• Dinner sets - the perfect gift idea

A dinner set makes it easy to get off to a good start - or treat someone you care about. Choose from sets of 2, 4 or 6 plates in identical or mixed designs.

Materials and style: What suits your home?

When choosing a plate, it's not just about looks. The material makes a difference to both function and atmosphere. Here you can read more about the different materials we have plates in:

• Stoneware plates - rustic and durable

Compared to porcelain, stoneware is heavier, more rustic, and has a thicker feel – making it ideal for everyday meals where you want a warm, handcrafted look. Stoneware retains heat longer and often features a reactive glaze, giving each plate a unique finish. Brands like BITZ offer a bold and Scandinavian take on this timeless material.

• Glass plates - modern and elegant

Glass plates are lighter than both porcelain and stoneware, offering a clean and modern look. They are perfect for serving desserts or for occasions where the food presentation should take centre stage. Glass is non-porous and easy to clean, and coloured variants bring extra vibrancy to the table.

• Porcelain plates - classic and timeless

Porcelain is lighter and more refined than stoneware. It’s a popular choice for both everyday use and formal occasions due to its durability and elegant, smooth surface. White porcelain plates, like those from the Zone Denmark Eau-collection, are especially loved for their timeless expression and ability to highlight food presentation beautifully.

Whatever material you choose, you can rest assured that our plates are selected with a focus on durability, quality and responsible production. Many of our brands, work with materials and techniques that extend the lifespan of their products - so you can enjoy your tableware for many years to come.

Small hands require practical solutions. Our range of children's plates are designed to make mealtimes easier and more enjoyable for both children and adults. The plates are made of durable plastic that is both impact and dishwasher safe, and come in child-friendly shapes, colours and designs.

Many children's plates have non-slip bottoms and ergonomic designs that support the child to eat independently. Whether you're looking for a single plate or a complete set, you'll find functional solutions that last for everyday life - and for kids' lives.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about dinner plates

• What size plate should I choose? / What is a normal plate size?

A dinner plate typically measures 26-28 cm and is ideal for main courses. A lunch plate is smaller, around 20-23 cm, and is used for lighter dishes. Deep plates vary in size and are great for soup, breakfast and pasta dishes. Think about both function and the space you have on the table.

• How many plates do you need?

As a starting point, we recommend 12 of each type - dinner, lunch, dessert and soup - so you're covered for both everyday use and guests. If you have fewer people in the household, 6 of each may be enough. Plate sets are an easy and affordable way to start or top up. Choose a set that matches your needs and style.

• What is the difference between a dinner plate and a lunch plate?

Size is the main difference - dinner plates are larger and used for main meals, while lunch plates are smaller and ideal for lighter dishes. Lunch plates also take up less space in the cupboard and on the table. Many people also use them for serving snacks or desserts.

• What are the best plates for everyday use?

Both stoneware and porcelain plates are both suitable for everyday use as they are robust and dishwasher safe. Stoneware retains heat and gives a rustic look, while porcelain is lighter and more classic. Choose the material that suits your style - and your everyday life.

• Are all dinner plates dishwasher safe?

The vast majority of plates in our range are dishwasher safe, including stoneware, porcelain and plastic. However, some glass plates and special designs should be washed by hand to maintain shine and durability.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations, which we also state on each product.

• Are coloured plates popular?

Yes, coloured plates are a hit in many European homes. They add personality and contrast to the table - especially when combined with classic white tableware. Colours like deep blue, green and sand are particularly popular right now. You can also mix colours for a playful and unique look.

• What are dinner plates made of?

Porcelain is light and timeless - perfect for both every day and festive occasions. Stoneware has more weight and structure and is great for a rustic look. Glass and cast iron offer something special and work well as a complement or statement. Your choice depends on both function and aesthetics.

• Which plates make the best gifts?

A set of plates in a timeless design is a classic and safe gift idea. They're practical, beautiful and can be used by young and established alike. High-quality, well-designed gifts are often used every day - and remembered for a long time.
