Start with a Neutral Base
To create a cohesive look, start with a neutral base. This could be a white or cream tablecloth, neutral-colored placemats, or simple charger plates. This provides a canvas for your table setting that allows your mix and match pieces to stand out. You can also opt for traditional handloom mats or runners to add a touch of texture and ethnic charm to your table.

Choose a Theme based tableware
Select a theme for your table setting that can guide your mix and match choices. For example, a floral theme could include dinner plates with different floral patterns, or a bohemian theme could include plates with unique designs and textures.

Mix and Match Colors and Textures
Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and textures to create visual interest. For example, mix smooth white plates with textured stoneware plates in complementary colors. Alternatively, combine fine china with rustic wooden serving dishes for an unexpected mix.
Stick to a Common Element
To avoid a chaotic look, stick to a common element that ties your mix and match pieces together. This could be a similar pattern or color, or even a common shape or texture. For example, if you want an Indian table setting, you could stick to a common traditional motif, such as paisley, lotus, or peacock, that ties your mix and match pieces together.
Use Different Styles of Flatware

Mixing and matching different styles of flatware is a great way to add interest to your table setting. For example, pair modern and traditional styles or mix and match metals for a unique look. Traditional Indian thalis or plates with individual katoris (bowls) for curries and dals are also a great addition to a mix and match table setting.
Play with Scale

Experiment with different scales of tableware to create a visually dynamic table setting. This could include using large platters with smaller plates or combining oversized flatware with delicate stemware.
Add a Pop of Color
If you have a neutral base, add a pop of color with one or two statement pieces. This could include bright colored napkins or a bold centerpiece that ties your mix and match pieces together.
