When it comes to homeware, I’m always keeping a close eye on emerging trends – and I’ve been especially delighted to see vintage style firmly back in the spotlight.
Country grandmother-inspired tableware completely won me over last year, and if you thought it was just a passing phase, think again: the look is proving more enduring than ever. In my opinion, no one captures this nostalgic aesthetic quite like Joanna Gaines – particularly when it comes to Magnolia's spring tabletop collection.
While Joanna Gaines has recently shown a fondness for classic green-and-white tableware, her latest Magnolia pieces truly lean into the heirloom feel. Expect antique-style eyelet tablecloths, delicately etched glassware, and even a hand-crocheted pot holder or two – all designed to make your table feel collected, comforting, and timeless.
The grandma chic aesthetic might conjure visions of chintz and faded florals, but it is in fact the epitome of cozy nostalgia. Designers have embraced this heritage look with fervor, experimenting with everything from plaid prints to velvet textures – and Joanna Gaines has added her signature rustic touch.
Alongside farmhouse-style stoneware (such as the gorgeous heirloom garden pedestal serving bowl), Magnolia's new tableware collection contains charming pieces such as antique copper serving tongs, a carved wood egg tray, and vintage-inspired navy plates. From the serveware to the kitchen accessories, every piece feels delightfully retro and yet utterly timeless.
Blending cottagecore flair with time-honored patterns and silhouettes, I'd say that this collection is the perfect addition to your hosting closet. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or an intimate gathering, you'll reach for these pieces time and time again.

This may be one of my favourite pieces from Magnolia’s new collection. Sculptural yet understated, it deserves pride of place at any dinner party – though I’d just as happily use it as a fruit bowl so it can be admired every single day.
I adore the midnight blue shade of this salad plate; I would pair it with navy floral dinner plates, crisp white linens, and plenty of gold accents for a retro-luxe look. It's a lovely take on the scalloped decor trend, too.
Inspired by vintage Delft tiles, these coasters feature delicate swan motifs and a beautifully crackled glaze. They’re the kind of thoughtful detail that elevates a tablescape, adding character and charm without overpowering it.
Nothing captures grandma style quite like a retro pantry find – and this egg tray won me over the moment I saw it. Rustic yet refined, its elegantly carved edges make a subtle but striking statement.

Another hallmark of grandma style is crochet. This pot holder brings instant homespun charm to the kitchen and comes in a range of shades, from soft earthy tones to brighter, more playful hues.
