Bohemian placemat: 38 cm round and fourteen styles to create a natural table
The bohemian placemat is offered in a round format with a 38 cm diameter and fourteen different styles. This combination allows you to maintain the same proportions at the table while varying the design according to the desired mood. The round shape works particularly well with tableware featuring soft lines, on a circular table, or to break up the rigidity of a rectangular top.
The main advantage of this model is its ease of use: you first choose the style you like, then verify that 38 cm is suitable for your tableware and the space available per guest. The numerous variants allow you to create a more personal table without changing the format.
38 cm: an easy size to visualize
A 24 to 28 cm plate will leave a border visible around the placemat. On a small round table, ensure that two 38 cm circles placed facing each other do not overlap. If necessary, cut out a 38 cm paper template to test the look before purchasing.
The bohemian placemat can also serve as a base under a charger plate, a low vase, or a decorative element when you are not using it for a full meal.
Round table
The shape naturally follows the geometry of the top and helps to distribute seats evenly.
Rectangular table
The circles soften straight lines and create a pleasant graphic contrast.
Console or sideboard
A round placemat can become a decorative support under a vase, a bowl, or a lamp.
How to choose from fourteen styles?
If your tableware is already very decorative, choose a calmer style to avoid clutter. Conversely, on a wooden table with white or beige plates, a bolder pattern can become the focal point of the composition. For multiple guests, repeating the same style provides a more consistent result than a random mix.
The bohemian placemat works particularly well with natural palettes: beige, ecru, terracotta, sage green, brown, ivory, or black in small touches. Wood, glass, and matte ceramic then allow you to vary the textures without multiplying the colors.
Building a bohemian table without clutter
The bohemian style is often associated with various textures, but a table remains more readable if you limit strong elements. Keep tableware simple, choose a bohemian placemat as the main texture, and then add only a few accessories: plain napkins, dried flowers, a small vase, or protected candles.
If you add a table runner, prefer a fairly discreet model so as not to compete with the fourteen available designs.
How to place the placemats around the table?
On a round table, use the center of the tabletop as a reference point and distribute the mats at regular intervals. On a rectangular table, align the bottom of each mat at the same distance from the edge. The plate can be centered on the circle, while the cutlery remains slightly outside if space is limited.
Avoid placing the mats too close to the center if dishes are being served at the table. Leave a free zone for carafes and shared dishes so that the decor remains compatible with the meal.
With or without a tablecloth?
Placed directly on the wood, the mat allows the material of the furniture to remain visible. On a white or beige tablecloth, the styles stand out more. With a printed tablecloth, choose a more understated design to avoid competition between patterns.
Maintenance and storage
For maintenance, follow the instructions on the label or packaging. Remove crumbs and superficial stains quickly and opt for gentle cleaning to preserve the appearance of the mat.
Let the mat dry completely before storage and stack the pieces flat to maintain their round shape. For very hot dishes, use a dedicated trivet.
