How to choose a serving or decorative bowl
Start by deciding whether the bowl will hold food or simply look good. Glass, crystal and many ceramic bowls suit serving, while metal, distressed wood and bowls sold with decorative orbs are usually meant for display. Check each listing before using a bowl with food.
- Centerpieces: on a dining table, choose a bowl about one third the table length and low enough to see over.
- Dough bowls: long oval wood bowls look great on a coffee table, island or console, filled with greenery or candles.
- Sets: matching ceramic or glass sets keep a buffet tidy and consistent.
- Pedestal bowls: the added height suits fruit, ornaments or a sideboard display.
For styling, fill decorative bowls with seasonal items: pinecones in winter, lemons in spring, small gourds in fall. Our coffee table styling article shows how a bowl fits into a balanced arrangement.
Hand wash glass, crystal and wood. Oil wood bowls occasionally to prevent drying, and avoid soaking them. Wipe metal bowls dry to keep the finish bright. See more serving pieces with bar carts and servers.
