News Flash: Set Your Table Like It’s 1701

Colonial Williamsburg in its interior design era. Last month, we noticed Colonial Williamsburg had invited insiders like antiques purveyor Alexander Widener to visit the storied grounds. Now, the historic site is collaborating with Carolina Irving & Daughters on a tabletop collection celebrating 18th-century artistry.

Combing through the impressive decorative archives, the homewares brand honed in on three pieces that reflect the visual language of the 1700s: An earthenware lantern painted with blue and golden florals; an enamelled punch bowl with iron red trellis details along the interior rim; and a Delft-style plate trimmed with flowers and pineapples. Then, Carolina Irving & Daughters interpreted them through its signature joyful lens.

The result? Painterly candlesticks, cups, and bowls that look straight from one of Colonial Williamsburg’s centuries-old homes, but are designed to be lived with and loved in 2026. We’re sensing a plate wall in your near future.

If You Like OKA, Shop These Brands Next

When the British design invasion kicked into high gear a few years back, OKA became a go-to source for anyone looking to channel the cheerful elegance of a London townhome. But then, in 2024, the brand’s U.S. operations ceased and the international shipping prices (and import duties and taxes) are not easy on the wallet. Luckily, these seven brands from across the pond are seamless to shop stateside.

Sharland England: Style-setter Louise Roe’s embroidered napkins, rattan accessories, and hand-painted vases will make you yearn for the English countryside.

Soho Home: For the luxury London hotel aesthetic, look no further than this retailer, born from the minds behind famous high-end member’s club Soho House.

Toast: Anyone who thinks earthy, muted tones can’t pack personality hasn’t seen this selection of throws and quilts.

Birdie Fortescue: Traditional elements of British interiors, reimagined for contemporary homes. One of its statement rugs is a good place to start.

Matilda Goad & Co.: Designer Matilda Goad’s playful personal style—on brilliant display in her London home—distilled into a housewares line (we’re particularly fond of the hardware).

Pooky: This lighting brand arrived on our shores in 2024 with a bang, serving up chic cordless options—these sconces are editor-vetted—unlike anything we’d seen before.

Rebecca Udall: We’ll take one of every heritage-inspired napkin, tablecloth, and dish in sight, please.
