Types of Placemats
When shopping for placemats, it’s important to keep in mind what kind makes the most sense for your dining purposes. There are multiple kinds of table placemats made from different materials, each of which will provide unique purposes and varying levels of table protection. Placemats can be made from:
- Vinyl
- Wicker
- Paper
- Basketweave material
- Jute
- Cork-backed materials
- Linen
- Cloth
If you have little ones who frequently spill food and drinks, vinyl makes the most sense for a table placemat because this material is much easier to clean off after meals. Woven or wicker placemats are ideal if you’re seeking a rustic look. Cork-backed placemats are great options if you need something that’s heat-resistant and will stay in place on your table.
