Gold Flatware, 20-Piece Set
• $140
• West Elm
Nothing dresses up a table like great flatware. It’s the tabletop equivalent of a fine pair of shoes–even if everything else is hand-me-down or thrifted, the polish of this one piece will just elevate the whole look. Not that great cutlery is a massive investment. You just have to hunt down the right set.
