It’s all very well having a beautiful dining table but if you don’t protect it against hot dishes with a tablemat or placemat (especially a wood table), you’ll be faced with unsightly scorch marks. Here’s a few of my favourite tablemats.
If rustic styling is your thing, you’ll love these bamboo and olivewood tablemats from On The Table.
Bamboo tablemat, £14.28 for 4
Olivewood tablemat, £10.60 for 2
The chic pattern and monochrome design of the Nature’s Carvings placemats from John Lewis will brighten up any mealtime. matching coasters are available, too.
Nature's Carvings placemat, £15 for 2
Finally, for a splash of colour at a great price, Homebase‘s bold Bright Stripes placemats cost just £10.16 for a set of six tablemats and six coasters. Emily
