Materials echo the lakeside environment, combining ceramic glazes that resemble water, softly textured linens, and reclaimed woods with subtle brass and copper for a modern yet comforting holiday glow.

Care and Everyday Use
Maintaining Lakeside Elegance Year Round
Ceramics from the Lakeside Collection Christmas are typically dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing delicate items with a soft cloth will preserve intricate textures and metallic detailing. Linen textiles benefit from gentle cycles and low-heat drying to retain their relaxed, lakeside softness.
For wood and metal accents, a simple wipe with a lightly damp cloth followed by drying prevents water spots and preserves the muted, shore-inspired finishes that define the collection.
Design Tips for Bringing the Lakeside Feel Home
- Start with a neutral dinnerware base and add two accent colors inspired by lake twilight.
- Mix natural textures such as linen, wool, and lightly grained wood for a layered look.
- Incorporate subtle lighting, like small LED candles or softly glowing lanterns, to evoke dock lights at dusk.
- Use a single focal element, such as a textured table runner or statement centerpiece, to tie the theme together.
- Choose one or two statement pieces, such as a pier-inspired chandelier or carved wooden serving board, to anchor the room.
- Keep ornamentation minimal to maintain a serene, modern lakeside atmosphere during holiday gatherings.
