Set of 4 Placemats & 4 Coasters - Wooden Oak Veneer

Product Information

The gorgeous design features vibrant colors with a simple, detailed, high-quality aesthetic. While we love this authentic print, it might not blend well with all kitchen color palettes, and these placemats aren't machine washable, so they're not likely to be your next everyday set of placemats. We think that's okay, and that they're just the sort of pieces that you'll like to pull out for special occasions or when you're looking to brighten up your table. Placemats are a great option because they can protect your table while also acting as a decorative feature that enhances its attractiveness. And you’re spoilt for choice, too, since you can get modern placemats in a range of materials and styles. Purpose of Placemats Denim’s tight weave makes the placemats durable, and their fade will look better over time, just as it does on your jeans. Some denim placemat designs are reversible, with a plain or quirky cotton print on the reverse side, offering convenience and the benefit of two placemats in one. 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.

However, unlike cotton, jute plants are a rain-fed crop grown without fertilizer, making it inexpensive to produce and contributing a fraction of the carbon footprint. It’s the ideal choice to go for if you’re put off by the environmental toll of cotton and synthetics. Jute fibers are used to make material known as burlap or hessian. For a geometric design that strikes a balance between trendy and timeless, look no further than this duo from Anchal. The standard rectangular placemat is livened up with straight, linear stitching. The minimalist design is sure to garner compliments from guests. They're handmade with certified organic cotton canvas in India, and promise to be created with fair trade practices. Denim is a wonderfully practical and functional material. Used to make our favorite pair of jeans, many of us can’t imagine life without it. However, producing denim material has some less-than-ideal environmental effects, including using hundreds of liters of water in processing and coloring the cotton. One of the best ways of upcycling and repurposing old jeans is to convert them into placemats. It’s a sustainable solution that beats throwing them away.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. In casual restaurants, paper placemats are regularly used because they fulfill multiple purposes. They save hours of cleaning time and help to maintain hygiene standards. They are also a creative way of displaying the menu or advertising to keep customers updated with the latest promotions or specials. Family-friendly eateries usually have games and puzzles printed on them to keep children entertained.

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. Jute’s eco-friendly, biodegradable, and lightweight credentials have made it a popular material to produce home decor items, like carpets, cushion covers, and table mats. But just because jute is light, it doesn’t mean you’ll have to compromise on strength. Jute is remarkably resilient, and you’ll benefit from using it for years. 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

However, both styles of table covering can be used together to great effect. For instance, when placemats are used on top of a tablecloth or with a table runner, they can create a multi-colored look or add sophistication and formality to a dining table.

You have to miss out on its excellent properties, though, as there are plenty of placemat options that combine jute with another fabric. A good alternative is jute table mats lined with lace, cotton, or velvet, which effortlessly combine down-to-earth warmth with a hint of traditional sophistication.

Apart from their good looks, vinyl placemats also provide excellent shielding for your table by warding off moisture and food stains, plus they offer easy clean-up.
