Set of 4 Placemats & 4 Coasters - Wooden Oak Veneer

Product Information

Paper table mats are really convenient, especially when dining outdoors. They are the most low-maintenance placemat by far – you simply throw them away once you’re done eating. There’s no need to stress about wiping down or choosing the right program for the washing machine. And, because they are intended to be disposable, they are often sold in bulk and are generally affordable. Placemats made from eco-friendly, non-toxic, and odorless bamboo are sturdy and durable. They provide good heat insulation and add texture to smooth table surfaces. If you’re worried about the environmental toll of cotton production, go for jute instead. Jute is a fast-growing plant, like cotton. In fact, it’s the world’s second most-produced plant fiber. Protection:The primary purpose of a placemat is to protect your dining surface from food and drink spills. They also shield your table from very hot or icy items, scratches caused by table décor, and other things like keys being dropped on them. All table surfaces – from wood to marble, lacquer, and stone – can benefit from the protection offered by placemats.

You can choose from plain colors or patterns and between square, circular, and oval options. Go with your taste preferences and what looks best with your dining table's size and shape. Decoration:Well-chosen placemats complement your home décor. Unlike a tablecloth, placemats don’t cover the whole table and allow you to show off its beauty. Tablemats can be used as part of the decorations for a special event, like a birthday, wedding, or baby shower. Or they can highlight a seasonal theme, such as using placemats in oranges and browns for autumn and bright, tropical colors for summer.One of the joys of buying plain cork placemats is that you can turn them into a DIY craft project that kids will also love to get involved in. You can give the placemats a modern twist by painting geometric shapes on them.

When it comes to the availability of fashionable styles, designs, and forms, the sky’s the limit for vinyl. They are the perfect table covering, one that enables you to really show off your personality through your choices. A tablecloth can easily perform the functions listed above, but placemats are considered to be more modern. Placemats also have a major advantage because they don’t cover the whole table, allowing you to show off its beauty.

Purpose of Placemats

For an eye-catching appearance, look for denim placemats made with different shades of jean material. Or, if you have a creative eye and a pile of old jeans lying around, shred the denim and basket-weave it. You’ll end up with a set of one-of-a-kind woven placemats that will be the talk at your dinner table. Jute Placemats

Suppose you’ve just spent a small fortune on a brand-new dining table or want to ensure that the one you’ve had for years remains in good condition. In that case, it’s probably a good idea to think of a suitable cover for it. However, synthetic fabrics generally have a more negative environmental footprint due to the chemicals used in making them, so some people choose to bypass them. If this is a concern for you, natural fabrics should be your number one choice since less harmful chemicals are used in their manufacture. Their coloring also usually comes from a natural dyeing process. At about 11 inches long and 15 inches wide, they're a kid-friendly size, but they might seem small compared to standard placemats. The other potential downside we see is that the color options are pretty limited, so if you're looking to match a certain decor style, you might not find that here—but there are nice, bright choices that kids will love.This set of two placemats is available in four elegant colors, so they're almost guaranteed to work with your kitchen or dining room color scheme. The placemats are machine washable, making them ideal for everyday use for households with kids or particularly messy eaters. Fabric placemats are fabulous for adding softness to tables. They are good at absorbing heat and are an excellent option for protecting your table from hot pots and plates. Most fabric placemats are machine-washable, so keeping them clean is a breeze. Natural and synthetic fabrics are used to produce table mats. Among the more popular natural fabrics used for placemats are cotton and linen. Denim brings a playful and modern edge, while jute wins on sustainability. Cotton Placemats Since they're cotton, you can count on them being soft, durable, and machine washable, too. The denim material is constructed with 80 percent upcycled cotton from the Guatemalan textile industry, and they're made with sustainability in mind. In their all-natural state, jute placemats make an understated and clean table decoration. Their rustic and coarse weave is a perfect choice that fits just as well in indoor dining settings as they do at an outdoor picnic in the park. However, the homely look and textured feel of jute are not for everyone.

Large placemats are equally practical during playtime and can keep paint, Play-Doh, glue, and other potential messes off the floor and table. These placemats usually have shapes, numbers, and letters printed on them to help kids learn in a fun way. Placemats made for kids are bright, colorful, and playful. They’re designed to keep your child’s eating space clean and tidy. Most importantly, they keep your child’s interest on their plate, allowing them to develop healthy mealtime habits. Some placemats include an educational element that helps children understand where all their utensils go.
