If you’ve ever stepped foot into a Pottery Barn store or shopped on the retailer's site, you’ve noticed a few key design details: an abundance of calming neutrals along with a mixture of traditional and contemporary touches. But now, Pottery Barn is taking things up a notch, teaming up with fashion designer Cynthia Rowley on a new home collection that’s available to shop at potterybarn.com today.
To put it simply, the assortment of entertaining essentials celebrates maximalism and beautifully captures the adventurous design approach Rowley has long been lauded for in the fashion world. Think plates decked out in florals, colorful gemstone napkin rings and a raffia mirror with bold fringe detail.
“Together, we created something that feels new for the brand while still honoring their quality and craftsmanship,” Rowley tells Good Housekeeping of collaborating with Pottery Barn.
When asked why she chose to lean into such energetic colors and statement patterns like flowers, trees and jewels, Rowley said the timing just felt right. “People are craving joy and personality in their spaces right now — something that feels energizing and fun!” she shares.
But if your style is a bit more subdued overall, don't stress, as Rowley says “even just one or two pieces can add that splash of color and creativity to your table.”
From the appetizer and salad plates to the mugs and cereal bowls, all of Rowley's tabletop items are designed to be mixed and matched as you see fit.
Don't ask the designer to pick a favorite piece, though. “I love them all!” she says. “When I was a little kid, I had a favorite dish that everything seemed to taste better in — I hope these will do that for you.”
