If it’s your goal to be a bit more social this year, it might be time to brush up on your hostessing skills and turn your home into a picture perfect dinner party locale. And that doesn’t just mean learning some tasty new recipes: Upgrading your tablescape will also make your place feel so much more inviting — and make you feel like the domestic goddess you’ve always wanted to be. Concerned about your budget? Don’t be. You actually don’t have to spend a lot for a seriously chic effect. In fact, with so many affordable dinnerware sets on the market, you can save some extra cash for a fancy bottle of bubbly.

Even if you’re not planning for a dinner party, design experts say that keeping your dinner table set year-round is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to make your home feel more put together. And there are a few dining essentials you’ll want to have on hand to do so, like a neutral table linen, some artsy napkin rings for a touch of glam, versatile glassware that can be used for wine, water, or whatever else you’re drinking, and of course a floral centerpiece — even if it’s one you can easily DIY.

That said, if you’re still serving meals on your mishmash collection of plates, it’s probably time to consider investing in a new set. And the good news is, some of the best ones around don’t have to be a splurge. Your favorite home goods retailers, like World Market, IKEA, and Target offer a wide range of multi-piece sets for well under the $40 mark — and they run the gamut from bold and colorful to clean and minimalist. So no matter what your desired aesthetic is, you can find one that totally suits your style.
