When we’re talking fine china and silver, we don’t all have the luxury of having complete matching sets of dinner and serving pieces. Luckily, mixed sets can still look just as chic. Whether it’s a tea set, antique silverware, or a mismatched set of dinner plates, there are a few things you can do to make building a mismatched set look purposeful, while still keeping your costs down. First of all, in-store sales at home décor shops are a great place to find bargains on fine china and silver on pieces that don’t make a full set. For instance, you might find two dinner plates at a great price, but you’ll have to come up with four more to serve a party of six. You can also find great bargains at flea markets and thrift stores, but you’ll have to do more sifting to find good quality pieces.
