Like another big trend tomato-themed decor, Cabbageware is all about embracing organic elements in your interior design. You don’t have to go all out cabbage, but adding a few cabbage serving dishes to your dining table will add a playful edge to your tablescape.
The cabbage designs look most striking when paired with a warm neutral backdrop, think buttery yellows, soft beiges, plaster pinks and potentially a splash of sky blue. These bowls, plates and jugs were designed to stand out so embrace their vibrant green hues and be creative with how you style them.
