What are placemats used for?
A placemat is a pad that is meant for an individual place setting at the dining table. Placemats are generally protective and decorative. They can be made from many different materials, including the non-slip vinyl and silicone varieties featured in this article. Other materials include wood, cork, bamboo, glass, leather, and fabrics like cotton or linen.
Placemats can help protect your table from water marks, heat damage, and food stains. Some that are made of vinyl or leather can double as a writing pad.
What are vinyl placemats?
Vinyl is made of PVC, a plastic polymer that is flexible, durable, and has thermal properties. Usually, there are two thin sheets of vinyl sandwiched with an inner liner, and the edges are heat sealed. The liner can be flexible or stiff.
Vinyl placemats are great for protecting the table. They are a great choice if you have children. They are non-slip, stain-resistant, heat-resistant, and easy to clean. They tend to be inexpensive and come in many different styles and colors. They retain their shape and color very well.
Vinyl may not look as sophisticated as fabric placemats, with their tassels, quilting, and beading options, but vinyl is by far the easiest to take care of and keep clean.
Vinyl placemats can be cut into any shape – square, hexagonal, or round. They can be imprinted with designs, including the popular woven look.
How to choose a placemat
Assuming you have already chosen a vinyl or silicone placemat due to its non-slip properties, here are a few other considerations to make when looking for a new set for your home.
Size
Make sure the placemats are large enough to hold one person’s entire table setting. This should include the plate, fork, spoon, a bowl and the glass, and then some extra space in case there are other things that need to fit. A common size is 18 x 13 inches.
Color and design
Think about the general design themes in your house and the color scheme of your dining area, and choose placemats that complement these themes. Try to choose placemats that do not get lost visually or contrast too much.
If you have a modern or ethnic design in your home, try to choose placemats that suit that theme.
You may want to choose a couple of sets of placemats, to have one for every day and one for special occasions. You can also look for holiday-themed versions. It’s always fun to go shopping for these items and they will make a nice design statement in your home.
