Placemats: Design and Protection for Your Table
The placemat is an essential element in modern table setting. It serves a crucial dual purpose: on the one hand, it effectively protects surfaces from stains, scratches, and the heat of the dishes; on the other, it acts as a decorative frame that defines each diner's space and enhances the tableware. The choice of material, from natural fibers like jute to practical solutions like vinyl, allows you to adapt the table setting to any occasion, adding texture, color, and personality to the dining room.

Advantages of placemats
- Effective Protection: They act as a physical barrier that prevents direct damage to the wood, glass or any other delicate material of the table.
- Hygiene and Easy Cleaning: They make cleaning up after meals much easier. A placemat is much easier to clean or wash than a whole table.
- Decorative Versatility: They allow you to change the appearance of the table quickly and economically, adapting it to the season, a celebration or a change of style.
- Space Delimitation: They help to visually organize the table, assigning a clear space to each diner and their cutlery, which brings order and harmony.
Tips for choosing your placemats
Consider the occasion: reserve cotton or linen placemats for special events and opt for vinyl or jute for everyday use. Think about how they coordinate with your tableware: a neutral-colored or natural-textured placemat will make plates with bold designs stand out, while a patterned one can liven up white dishes. Don't underestimate the size: make sure there's enough room for the plate, cutlery, and a glass without it looking cluttered. The shape (round, rectangular) can also complement the shape of your table and your plates.
