Bamboo placemat: round in 11, 18, 30 or 38 cm
The bamboo placemat is available in four diameters—11, 18, 30, and 38 cm—and in a wide palette of colors: black, silver, white, khaki, coffee, brown, red, orange, blue, yellow, green, and several mixed shades. This variety allows you to use the same range from a small coaster to a large placemat for a plate.
The bamboo material naturally gives the product a warmer feel, but the choice of size remains the most important point. An 11 cm size is suitable for a cup or glass; 18 cm for a bowl or small plate; 30 cm for a standard plate; and 38 cm offers more of a border around the place setting.
Which diameter should you choose for your tableware?
Measure your main piece before ordering. For a 26 cm plate, a 30 cm placemat leaves a small border, while a 38 cm one creates a more visible frame. For a mug or glass, 11 cm is often enough. The 18 cm is useful under an individual teapot, a bowl, or a small dish.
The bamboo placemat can therefore be coordinated in several sizes: large formats under plates and small diameters under glasses.

How to choose the color?
White and silver bring light, black strongly structures the place setting, khaki and green create a botanical ambiance, while brown, coffee, and mixed tones naturally harmonize with wood. Red, orange, yellow, and blue allow for a more expressive table.
To keep your table consistent, the bamboo placemat can be chosen in a single color or in two alternating shades. If you mix several colors, keep the tableware simple and repetitive.
How to compose a multi-format set?
A practical composition can combine a 38 cm diameter under the plate and an 11 cm one under the glass. If your table is more compact, combine 30 and 11 cm instead. The 18 cm formats can be used in the center under small bowls or decorative items.
This logic allows you to create a coordinated table without using the exact same size for every object.
How to place a round placemat?
On a round table, distribute the large placemats evenly around the center. On a rectangular table, align their bottom edges at the same distance from the table edge. A round shape softens lines and often leaves more visual space between place settings than a large rectangle.
With the bamboo placemat, keep the 30 and 38 cm formats far enough from the center if you are serving dishes at the table. The smaller diameters can be placed near the glasses without obstructing the serving area.
With a tablecloth or directly on wood?
Directly on a wooden table, natural tones extend the surface material, while bright colors create contrast. On a solid-colored tablecloth, the round contours stand out more. A beige, ecru, or green table runner can complete a natural palette.
Bamboo maintenance
Follow the instructions on the product. As a precaution, avoid prolonged immersion and always let it dry completely before storage. For small marks, use a gentle method compatible with the finish applied and avoid abrasive products.
Stack the pieces flat and keep them in a dry place. Although bamboo is used as table linen, do not use the placemat as a substitute for a trivet for a hot pot or dish.
