We’ve made your job that much easier by scouring the galaxy to bring you the perfect trimmings to complete the “Vanilla Glacé Dining Room Collection”.
Dinnerware, glassware, flatware and accessories:
Playing on the gold and white colors of the print, I have for you gilt chargers and white plates. Both elegant and sophisticated, the gold chargers have lovely beaded detailing around the edges and picking up the sinuous gold thread of the Vanilla Glacé print, will bring a lustrous glow to the table. With the classic white dinnerware, the ethereal beauty of the white in the linens is highlighted. The stunning combination will transform the simplest of meals into a lavish spread.

As soon as I saw this glassware, I knew they were perfect. Warm amber hued glasses, with an embossed scroll pattern provide the right glamorous accent to the dinnerware. Echoing the same exotic appeal of the ogee print found in our Vanilla Glacé print , the glasses will sparkle and reflect light adding to the romantic ambience. And isn’t the flatware just perfect? With gold handles to add a dash of regal pizazz, it has just the right amount of gilt without overshadowing the rest of the accessories, and yet standing their own ground.

To add a little more gilded dash and flavor to the table, use these beautiful dahlia placemats woven of gold vinyl. They will show brilliantly against the pure white of the tablecloth while picking up the golden hues, and at the same time provide a delicate backdrop for your dinner plates. Pioneer Linens makes these wonderful table napkins with a pattern resembling the bark of a tree. I would opt for the gold color to accessorize the linens with. Craving more Vanilla Glacé decadence? Then use the coordinating napkins with gold blossoms scattered all over. And then for that final lustrous flourish to complete the table – these translucent mother-of-pearl coasters!

Curtains and drapery:
The Vanilla Glacé table linens will transform your dining room, but for a total makeover, the radiant pearly voile curtains will not only add a sumptuous glamorous look to the room, but with summer fast approaching, will block the harsh glare of the sun and keep the room cool. For a contrast that will pair well the table linens without overshadowing their frosty beauty , these natural hopsack curtains in “wheat”, will match up well with the honey gold in the print and do the trick.

Art accessories:
Whether its artwork on the walls or beautiful ornaments chosen with care, nothing accessorizes a room more than art. With that in mind here are two lovely pieces that will enhance the gold caramel tone of Vanilla Glacé. Gustav Klimt’s Hymn to Joy in gold paint and leaf is almost custom made for these linens. This is a hand painted oil painting reproductionof a masterpiece, by a talented artist. The Pegasus crafted with natural, iridescent capiz shell embodies the very quality of Vanilla Glacé and seems to capture the heavenly and intangible essence of the print.
Use these two ideas as starting points, keep your accessories varied in tones of chocolate, honey and amber gold and you cannot go wrong.

Lighting:
This Moroccan inspired pendant lamp from Layla Grayce with its gold leaf frame and quatrefoil pattern will lend global appeal to the dining room. It does not come cheap and may be a trifle decadent and self-indulgent, but it may well be the final ultimate accessory. For a more moderately priced pendant, use the gold metal pendant light with a pleated fabric shade that will diffuse the lighting enhancing the soft dreamy quality of the print.
