Materials and types of plates
Plates come in many materials, each with its own advantages. Ceramic and stoneware offer a heavier, more rustic feel and often feature handmade details that make each plate unique. Porcelain is light and classic, often with smooth, glossy surfaces. Melamine plates from brands like Rice are perfect for outdoor use and kids’ tables, as they’re lightweight and extra durable. At Dims Studio, you’ll find flat dinner plates, deep plates for pasta and soups, as well as small side and dessert plates.
Sizes and dimensions
Dinner plates typically measure 25-28 cm in diameter and suit main courses.
Lunch plates are often 20-22 cm and used for lighter dishes or as extra plates for larger servings.
Dessert and side plates are smaller – usually 15-18 cm – and also work well for snacks or cookies.
Deep plates usually measure 20-23 cm in diameter with a 3-5 cm rim height, ideal for soups, salads, or pasta dishes.

Usage occasions and styling tips
Mix different plate types and colors for a personal table – for example, combine ceramic with melamine or choose plates with varied rim decorations.
Use small dessert plates as coasters for glasses or for small snacks on a tapas table.
Plates with motifs – like lemons or fish – create eye-catching accents and can double as serving platters for starters or cakes.
For everyday use, choose sturdy stoneware plates, while porcelain works well for festive occasions with multiple courses.
Play with layering: stack plates of different sizes for a layered effect when setting the table.
Plates for different interior styles
At Dims Studio, you’ll find plates that suit both colorful, eclectic homes and more subdued Nordic styles. Ceramic and stoneware with visible glazes complement rustic or boho-inspired kitchens.
