I've long been a fan of Joss & Main summer tableware, and the brand's effortlessly chic, yet laid-back aesthetic, so when I heard about its collaboration with Pinterest on the social platform's much-anticipated Summer Trend Report I was eager to see what would catch my eye for my summer table decor ideas.
Joss & Main's curated dinner party picks have been selected based on key summer trends, which have been identified by Pinterest, with the help of hosting influencers and experts, Isabelle Heikens, Jessica Bui and Akilah Releford-Gould.
Book clubs and garden parties; dill green and boho style; and garden-to-table cooking were three of the core trends in Pinterest's report, and I'm so into the eclectic vibe, natural materials and subtle hues that they bring – not least because these trends are so easy to style with pieces you already own.
Here are my favorite picks from the Joss & Main x Pinterest collection, which lean into these easy summer hosting trends – and, what's more, most of them are on sale, so hurry if you want to upgrade your summer tableware with these versatile pieces.
Tapping into the dill green trend and gingham, you simply can't go wrong with these gorgeous quilted place mats. They're hand washable to cope with light spills and will look perfect if you're going for that farmhouse kitchen look. Just add haybales.
With a subtle purple hue and a green glass swirl detail on the stem, giving a vintage twist, these all-purpose wine glasses are sturdy enough for outdoors but elegant enough for your best summer dinner parties.
Looking for a summer table centerpiece? This is it. Pile it up with citrus fruits for a Mediterranean look, fill with water and drop flower heads and floating candles in it for a magical effect, or serve up your favorite ice cream recipes in it, so that everyone can dig in.
