Dinnerware sets with plates and bowls that are stackable and sized to suit more than one purpose are best. Those sets with 8" dessert plates that can double up as salad, side or appetizer plates, plus bowls suitable for cereal, as well as desserts or pasta will save space.
Look for dinnerware sets that are also designed so that plates can act as lids for bowls when storing food in the fridge. These will obviously reduce the need for bulky storage containers, as they are multi-purpose.
'The best dinnerware for small spaces maximizes functionality and aesthetics all in one,' says Shiza Shahid, Co-Founder of Our Place. 'Stackable dinnerware saves cabinet space. And neutral colours create an uncluttered, cohesive look that makes your space feel less crowded.'
