What Are Glass Placemats & How Do You Choose a Design?

Glass placemats combine a practical place setting with printed artwork, making them useful for people who want their tableware to add something decorative to a dining space.

What is a glass placemat?

A glass placemat is a flat glass table accessory positioned beneath a plate or place setting. Unlike a plain mat, printed glass placemats can also form part of the room’s décor when they are left on display.

How do you choose a glass placemat design?

Start with the person or room rather than trying to match every colour exactly. Animal, countryside and character designs can work particularly well when they reflect an interest that already appears elsewhere in the home.

Can glass placemats make good gifts?

They can be a useful choice for housewarmings, birthdays and people who enjoy distinctive kitchen or dining accessories. A design connected to a favourite animal or interest can make the gift feel more considered.
