Conclusion
When it comes to plates, round plates and oval plates seem to be the standard, but square plates with their sharp "corners" give a different impression than round plates. It feeds our table.
The color and pattern of the utensils can completely change the look of the dining table, but so can the shape.
It may be fun to try changing the delicate impression that changes depending on its shape, depending on your
