Creative Ways to Decorate Your Dining Table

Great way to decorate your table

If you want to give a special touch to the decoration of your table, there is no doubt that putting out various candles or a colourful bouquet of flowers can make a lot of difference but, what can create a really good impression is a set of placemats. On our site you will be able to find various types of placemats, from modern placemats to those themed for a special occasion. If you want to have the perfect decoration on your table, do not hesitate to continue reading this text.

Get creative with your placemats

• Colours and patterns: Choose placemats with colours and patterns that match your table theme. You can opt for a classic, elegant or modern style, depending on your preferences.

• Layers: To create a layering effect on the table, try using several placemats of different sizes and colours. Start with a larger woven vinyl placemat and then add a smaller cork backed one on top to give depth to the table.

• Textures: Choose placemats with interesting textures, such as embroidery or fabrics. This will add dimension to the table and make it look more interesting. In case you want a smooth textured surface, cork placemats are the perfect solution. That’s why we want to present our Plymouth Pottery placemats, they offer you lots of designs in a standard UK size, so you can choose the one design that best suits what you are looking for.

• Mix and match: Combine different placemats designs to create a custom table. Don’t be afraid to mix different colours, patterns and textures. If you have placemats or a particular set of coasters that you like, then you can swap them around to quickly change the appearance of the table.

• Minimalist style: If you prefer a minimalist style, opt for simple placemats in neutral tones, such as white, grey or beige. This elegant and simple option will allow you to decorate the table without over doing it.

• Rustic style: If you prefer a rustic style, choose placemats made of woven vinyl, or a natural linen fabric. These tablemats will give your dining table a cosy and warm feeling.

• Decorative themes: If you are celebrating a special occasion, such as Christmas or a birthday, choose placemats that fit the theme of the celebration. For example, placemats with a Christmas theme, such as our Penguin Parade tablemats.

Napkins and placemats, is their combination important?

If we want our table to have visual harmony, two of the elements that must be combined are napkins and placemats. Below we will give you a few ideas and tips to help make your napkins and placemats match perfectly to make for a more interesting kitchen dining room.

• Match colours: If you’re using single colour napkins, consider using single colour placemats. For example, if your napkins are white, then consider using blue, orange or yellow placemats to create an interesting contrast.

• Match patterns: If you’re using patterned placemats and napkins, make sure the patterns are going to complement each other. A simple way to achieve this is to select napkins with a solid colour that matches one of the colours found in the individual tablemat.

• Decorative touch: Add decorative details to your napkins, such as ribbons, flowers, or sprigs of fresh herb and small individual bouquets. These details can add a touch of colour and bring an extra level of texture to your dining table, all of which creates a more interesting and welcoming atmosphere.
