Quince’s Summer Hosting Kitchen Essentials Start at $10

Prepping for summer always includes refreshing my wardrobe and planning vacations, but this year I am equally excited about hosting friends and family in the comfort of my own home. That holds especially true after discovering Quince’s line of kitchen essentials. 

In keeping with the brand’s reputation of providing quality pieces at affordable prices, their vast selection of serveware, tableware, and decor is ideal for hosting — and starts at just $10. To refresh my entertaining lineup, I have my eye on the new set of shatter-proof melamine plates, patterned linen napkins, and so much more. Shop my top picks below.

I’m channeling an outdoor picnic vibe with this gingham runner, which adds a pop of color to my space while also protecting my table. The linen material is machine-washable and can be tumbled dry for easy cleaning, and it comes in 23 different colors and prints, so there’s a match for every space.  

I like for my space to have a cohesive look when hosting, so I was excited to see that Quince’s linen napkins come in the same color and print options as the table runner. The sets of four, eight, or twelve make it easy to purchase based on how many guests I’m anticipating, and one shopper said they give an “expensive, luxe look.”  

Having a matching set of serving utensils can make dishing out anything, including salads and side dishes, feel more elevated. This set is made from durable, bacteria-resistant olivewood that is safe to use on ceramic dishes. To keep them looking nice, I’m also grabbing this $10 wood conditioner.  

Outdoor-friendly melamine plates are a must for summer hosting. These pieces are shatter-proof and chip-resistant, making them durable enough for backyard dinner parties — without skimping on style. This set includes six dinner plates, salad plates, and small bowls in blue, green, and cream.
