Leaving placemats out in the open at all times of the day is a sure way to protect the wood finish on a table. In addition, placemats can be a key player in any table setting.

As round tables typically consist of four place settings, it can be tempting to include a formal table setting for all four chairs. If your family doesn’t typically use four settings, an alternative option is curating two decorative settings with woven placemats and stacked white plates. This leaves room for decor in the center of the table such as a white vase of shrubs, pumpkins, and candles.
