Rectangular Placemats

Set the Table with Rectangular Placemats

Enhance your dining room or kitchen table with rectangular placemats. A versatile addition to any table, rectangle-shaped placemats can be used for formal or casual occasions, from entertaining guests in the dining room to eating a quick breakfast at the kitchen counter. Create energy in your eating area with a tablescape inspired by juxtaposed geometric shapes. Start with rectangular placemats on a round dining table, and coordinate circular dinner plates with square appetizer plates and long serving platters. Add an oval mirror and square metal wall art to the dining room to finalize your geometric look. Prefer a modern industrial look? Use an iron ceiling lamp to shine a light on rectangular Chilewich placemats and a metal dining table. For a different approach, create a contrasting mix of colors with black rectangle placemats on a white marble table. Pull up a few dark leather dining chairs and balance the look with grey napkins and silver serving trays. Alternatively, set the dining table with rectangular rattan placemats or jute placemats crafted from wood fiber pieces for a more organic aesthetic and display leafy botanicals in glass vases for an earthy centerpiece. Alternatively, select rustic placemats, such as rectangular woven placemats or wicker placemats, and pair them with a hurricane candle holder full of fine white stones and aqua pillar candles as your centerpiece for a coastal look. Adorn the walls with artwork in oceanic hues to continue the theme.
