When to use your fun animal placemats?

Fun, animal designs are great for informal dining, but if you want to set the table for a formal event, then you ought to follow a more traditional protocol. You should try and use neutral colours if it is this type of dinner, with cream or burgundy being the best options. If it’s a more relaxed affair then by all means choose something more cheerful and trendy, with whatever colours you like. A great option here would be some original and stylish animal placemats and coasters which are available as special packs. With a variety of styles and designs to choose from you can be confident that whichever theme you select your table will be well protected.

How and when to set the table with animal placemats.

There is always the option to include a tablecloth underneath the table mats and coasters, this should be made of natural fibres, like linen or cotton for example. This tablecloth has to be big enough to cover the whole table and hang down comfortably over the sides. If the tablecloth is too small then it will not be suitable for the dining table, although the attractive table placemats on top of the cloth will distract the eye, but it’s best to start with the correct size of cloth.
