Elevate Dining Spaces with Table Linens

Table linens are a great way to add personality to your dining room and make it even more inviting. Not everyone might know that these can also be used as decorating tools. They can be used to layer, style, and accent your dining tables for all different occasions and celebrations. 

Crate and Barrel offers a great selection of  table napkins, table runners, and placemats to add luxury to your dining area. There are a variety of patterns and colors to choose from, so you can create your own unique look for your table.

Picking the Right Table Linen for You

When selecting table napkins, table runners, and placemats, the selection can be a bit overwhelming because there are so many options for you to choose from. We will guide you with tips on how you can pick the right design and pattern for your needs. 

Decide on minimalist or colorful table linens

Colorful table linens add a splash of fun to your dining space. They can help you create a bright, cozy, inviting atmosphere for guests.

Minimalist table linens are trendy these days. Muted patterns and subtle colors can add a touch of sophistication to your dining area without too much effort. 

Choose the material of the placemat depending on your needs

Placemats come in various materials, including rattan, PVC, and cotton, just to name a few. The most typical choice for households are fabrics such as cotton or linen. PVC is also a great easy-care placemat option for casual as well as formal dining. These mats clean up easily after dinner parties and everyday meals with just a quick wipe.

Keep extra placemats for special occasions

Have two or three sets of placemat design options on hand, one for regular use and another for special occasions. Table mats for everyday use can be less pricey to withstand normal wear and tear, while special ones can be reserved for guests.

You might even go a step further and choose seasonal-themed table mats for Christmas, and New Year's to liven up get-togethers.
