If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that nostalgic tartan prints will never go out of style. In fact, they're set to be one of the biggest table decor trends for 2026, according to design experts – which is why I'm stocking up on Pottery Barn's Stewart Plaid dinnerware collection while it's hugely discounted right now.
As a lifestyle writer, I've kept a keen eye on Pottery Barn's Christmas tableware collection since it dropped, and I've rarely seen discounts on so many trending pieces. Yet the Stewart Plaid dinnerware collection isn't just designed for the holidays: it's brimming with New England-inspired charm, and it's the perfect way to lean into one of the most enduring decor styles while stocking up for the next season.
The holidays can be a hectic (and costly) time of year, so you'd be forgiven if shopping for next year's festive tableware isn't your top priority. After hosting my fair share of gatherings recently, however, I can confidently say that investing in new tableware so far in advance is a real blessing when next winter rolls around.
If you decide to take advantage of the holiday sales, I can't recommend Pottery Barn's Stewart Plaid dinnerware collection enough. Elegant and stylish with a retro feel, it showcases a timeless print that's only set to become more popular in 2026. So, add these chic pieces to your cart, and you'll be ahead of the curve before the New Year is underway.
