Elevate Your Table With Square Placemats

Placemats offer a great way to express your style and protect your table at the same time. Depending on the placemats you choose, you can use them to add color, texture, interest and even a bit of holiday cheer to your dinner table. Rectangular and circular placemats may be more common, but square placemats are an unexpected and modern choice for any table. Thanks to their smaller footprint, they are especially great for smaller tables or when you need to squeeze in an extra place setting.

Williams Sonoma offers square placemats in a number of styles and materials, so you're sure to find something to suit your personal aesthetic. You'll find cotton and linen options that can be thrown in the washing machine as well as hardmat and woven placemats that are easy to wipe clean and work just as well outside as in. Most are available individually or in sets of four. Some can even be personalized with a monogram. Here are a few of the options you have to choose from:

  • Vintage Floral Jacquard - machine-washable and durable for everyday use, elegant enough for special occasions, available in three colors
  • Vine Floral Boutis - made of easy-care cotton in six colors, quilted with a subtle floral pattern, reversible
  • Nito - named for the nito fern that artisans in the Philippines use to create these handwoven mats, coated with clear lacquer for an easy, wipe-clean finish

Complete the Look

All of the square placements available at Williams and Sonoma have coordinating linens, which include table runners, tablecloths and napkins. If you prefer something a little less matchy, you can find a complementary shade or pattern in Williams and Sonoma's wide array of table linens. For an extra special table, a charger plate will provide added elegance and a nice visual contrast to the square placemat. A charger also offers you the opportunity to add an extra splash of color or holiday flair to your table.

Wrap it Up

Square placemats also make for a thoughtful housewarming or hostess gift. Pair a set with complementary cloth napkins and napkin rings, or wrap the placemats up with a couple of candlesticks and holders to ensure that your recipient's table is fully decked out. A set of square placemats would also add a lovely, personal touch to a setting of china chosen from a newlywed's wedding registry.
