Before you assume that placemats or table mats are an unnecessary expense, let us hit you with the facts. The only way to protect the furniture you so lovingly splurged on from the heat damage, scratches and stains, you need a placemat(s). Also, your dining table deserves a makeover every now and then and the easiest way to do this is, you guessed it, with different coloured, patterned, shaped and material placemats. This small but important addition to table decor or accessorising makes all the difference to a modern home setup, plus these portable babies can make it on a picnic, or an intimate dinner. We suggest you shop these various styles of placemats that you can buy online (right here on the LBB Shop) and add a different character to your dining table, every week.
10 Style-forward Placemats From LBB Shop To Make Your Tables Look Fantastic
Braided Elegance
To go with those earthy browns of your dining table or for a neutral, minimalistic appeal, pick these Round Table Mats from Kopou Homegrown Products. Its elegant braided look and round shape is all the trend now simply because this design fits into a formal dinner and fun family party. Oh and it gets brownie points for being entirely handcrafted with sustainable water hyacinth!
Woven Simplicity
If you're high on functionality but still want it with a side of style, these Leya Mustard Placemats from Weavorks is where it's at. Easy to clean and absorbing spills in a jiffy, and we're also totes crushing over its rustic colour and the undone frilly threads. We would also imagine these table mats sitting well on any kind of table or cloth, since they're so simple. They're also great for outdoor dining.
Spring Shenanigans
A little colour and a lot of print never really hurt anybody, which is why we recommend these Marigold Spring Placemats from Label Halfway Home. They will add a fresh decorative spin to your dining table while serving their purpose of protecting it. The rectangular shape and cotton fabric make these a reusable and durable choice too.
Knotted Art
Macrame has made waves in the home decor and accessorising space and we're living for its 70s charm and bohemian magic. This Sajke.in Knits and Knots Macramé Placemat is only an extension of this love we have for the craft and aesthetic. Besides, this pick not only makes for gorgeous placemats, but also unique decorative accessories.
Embroidered Statement
Completely taken by this stunning Red and Green Embroidered Placemat from Trunkin, all we can imagine is it being the star at the dining table. No doubt that it is made for the home that isn't afraid of vibrant colours or for that neutral tablecloth or dinnerware. We also love its bold floral pattern and the embroidered detailing, if you look closely, it's all beaded! It makes a statement with almost zero effort! If you're bored of the usual round and square shaped placemats, Trunkin also has this pretty flower-shaped option.
Floral Fun
Bring out this romantic Floral Enhancement Placemat set from Halfway Home for date night. The big flowers and leaves print and deep colours make this one of our favourites on the list. It will also go well with a rustic/cottagecore or vintage looking table. Oh, and imagine taking pictures of your food for the gram with this as a backdrop? Stunning? We think so too.
Crocheted Charm
Want something different from a placemat? Then lock, save and hoard all the charming handmade crochet placemats from Fermoscapes. They have a bunch of different colours and patterns and we are particularly smitten with the beige and gold option for its sophisticated decorative pattern. Made from high-quality yarn, it is also assured that placemats are prepared for any spill or stain event. The best bit? It won't even show on these!
Patterned Bliss
Sometimes the dinner table just calls for feel good placemats and we have found just that in these Bee Designed ones from Amoliconcepts. The fun bees and beehives pattern and the bright yellows of this make it a fun placemat to have when you're hosting children. Wouldn't make for a smart conversation starter and way to educate the kiddos?
Sustainably Swirled
AllThatGrass sure knows how to make a lasting impression with its placemats. These Henna Sabai beauties are made entirely of the eco-friendly sabai grass. This is exactly what makes it interesting and different from the conventional jute placemats. The swirling and sea blue tone are other things we love about it. Similar options are available in shades of haldi, cherry berry and earthy green.
Rustic Chic
We love a good play on nudes for days when we want to keep things muted and easy at the table. These Latte Placemats help us achieve just that with their cool, unassuming presence. The different shades of brown and undone ends only add more character to the overall design.
