For the kitchen or for the dining room, you may prefer shopping for decorative dinnerware. For everyday dinnerware, I usually end up picking casual sets that match the décor of my kitchen.
My first kitchen was darned with strawberries, followed by apples. I even had kitchen décor featuring the Pillsbury Doughboy™.
It was very cute, but I had some problems matching dinnerware, so I went with a clear glass dinnerware set.

I love matching dinnerware with my kitchen décor. Matching dinnerware seems to cheer up the place. I usually start out with the dinnerware and match towels, curtains, canisters, and so forth to bring the theme alive.
I'm hesitant about adding color to the kitchen itself. I try to stick with white or off-white appliances and neutral flooring and counter tops because it makes changing the look and feel of the kitchen a lot easier.
