Round Placemats

Set the Table with Round Placemats

Dress up your dining table with round placemats. Create energy in the dining room with a tablescape inspired by juxtaposed geometric shapes. Start with circular placemats on a rectangular dining table, and coordinate round dinner plates with square appetizer plates and long serving platters. Continue the geometric theme by adding an oval mirror and square metal wall art to the dining room. If you want a touch of nature in your home, set the dining table with round table mats crafted from wood fiber pieces, then display leafy botanicals in sculpted vases for an earthy centerpiece. Prefer a modern industrial look? Use an iron ceiling lamp to shine a light on round Chilewich placemats and a metal dining table. For a different approach, create a contrasting mix of colors with black round 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. Round placemats work well as the base for a table centerpiece, too. For a coastal aesthetic, consider a set of rustic placemats instead; complete each place setting with off-white dinnerware atop a round woven placemat or wicker placemat. Then, put together an on-theme table decoration by filling a hurricane candle holder with fine white stones and aqua pillar candles and finish by placing a coordinating mat underneath to protect the tabletop. Decorate the walls with paintings in oceanic hues to continue the look. Need an easy solution to cleaning after hosting an outdoor party? Consider machine-washable cotton or vinyl table mats with dishwasher-safe acrylic drinkware. Serve your guests with colorful melamine plates and bowls to complement the warm summer months.
