Table Placemats

Table placemats enhance the overall appearance of your dining area while protecting the table or tablecloth from messes. You must choose suitable table mats ready to handle any messes while working with existing decor.

Additionally, having a few different table mats for various occasions helps you provide the utility you need while decorating for the event. For example, you might have different table placemats for formal and informal events. You’ll be able to complement the decor of any event while still protecting the tablecloth or table.

How Do You Choose the Right Table Placemats?

Formal and informal placemats may have different designs, colours, and materials. As such, you’ll need to consider the needs of any type of event you may have in mind.

The shape is a great way to start narrowing down your options. Generally, rectangle table mats will be the largest, but other shapes can still be close to covering the same area. Square, oval, and rectangle mats are often listed in length and width dimensions. However, round mats will list diameter, so be sure you understand if it will provide the coverage you need.

Many homeowners buy several types of placemats to meet the occasion's needs. For example, you may wish to have large rectangular mats for informal, everyday use, then have another set of round mats for formal events.

The colour you choose depends on your existing decor and how you want to complement the design. For example, some homeowners decide to choose neutral colours that blend in, while others opt for bold choices that make the placemats stand out. Carefully consider how your future mats will look with the existing decor as you evaluate various colour options.

What Material Should You Use for Table Mats?

Once you’ve determined your mats' general shape, size, and colour, the next step is to decide material. Some materials will have limited colour options, while others will have a wide range of options to consider.

Table mats are made from various materials, each with benefits and drawbacks. Fabric placements are popular since they’re easy to wash with your laundry and provide a comfortable experience. 

Plastic and vinyl mats are great for outdoor eating or protecting our table from younger kids. These materials are easy to wipe down and clean after each meal. 

Cork and wooden table mats are excellent options for formal events. These unique types of mats provide the level of protection you need while adding a unique look to the dining room. However, many homeowners choose wooden mats for everyday use as well.
