Placemats are an element that plays a part in well-equipped tables, but they can also be neglected at times. These are not only highly useful in case you do not have a tablecloth and you wish to protect the table, but they also have huge decorative potential, offer a pleasant surface for the diner, and are a good way to keep the underlying tablecloth itself in optimal condition. For this reason, the new Zara Home collection includes an exclusive selection of placemats that will protect any surface on which they are incorporated and will also add an irresistible final touch of style.

Depending on the specific character and needs of each household, our styles are available in a variety of materials, from plasticized paper or textiles such as linen and cotton to padded alternatives or designs in jute, bamboo, or braided fibres. In the same way, the variation extends to a multitude of shapes, among which classic rectangular and round versions are included as well as trendy styles with oval silhouettes or wavy edges.

As for styles and purposes, plain fabric placemats, tube bead versions, or styles with timeless prints such as stripes are classic options for everyday use. In case your kitchen has a Mediterranean or Provencal flair, braided fibre designs will add an ideal country charm. If you are looking to stand out and add a bold note, plaited paper placemats in different colours are a breath of fresh air, while if you want to accentuate a more elegant side, options with embroidered details and beading ones are an ideal bet.
