Placemats & Coasters

A considered table starts with the surface. Our luxury placemats, coasters and trays collection gives you the pieces that protect the wood, lift the setting and pull a scheme together, whether you are laying up for Sunday lunch or a full dinner service.

You will find placemats and coasters in cork, lacquer, Irish linen and leather, from heritage makers who treat these as the finishing details they are. Our table placemats come as singles and in coordinating sets, in neutrals that work with any colour on top and in richer tones that carry a setting on their own. The tray selection covers everything from drinks service to bathroom organisation.

For more on pulling a table together, our guide to choosing placemats looks at materials, shapes and sizing, and our table runners guide shows how runners and placemats work together across formal and everyday settings.

Placemats, coasters and trays that protect fine surfaces and set a calm rhythm for everyday dining and special occasions. Many designs feature heat resistant and wipe clean finishes, chosen for balanced proportions, refined materials and long lasting ease of care.

Shapes and materials
Choose round settings to complement circular plates and compact tables, or rectangular settings for classic layouts with extra room for glassware. Materials include linen, rattan, lacquer and cork backed designs for quiet texture and reliable table protection. If you are building a full scheme, start with How to choose fine table linens and explore single and double damask table linen for a formal cloth with beautiful drape.

Coordination and care
Keep the look harmonious by pairing tones and textures with your cloth and napkins. Wipe after use and store flat to preserve shape and finish. Build the setting with the wider table linen collection and complete the scene with glassware and candlelight that echo your materials.
