What kinds of placemats can I buy at Myer?
Myer's placemat range includes cork-backed, vinyl, hardboard, woven seagrass, bamboo, timber veneer and fabric styles in round, rectangular and oval shapes. Choose from everyday designs that are easy to wipe clean, textured pieces that add warmth to the table and fabric placemats for a softer look. They're available individually and in sets of two, four or six, from plain neutrals to bold prints.
Which placemat material is best?
The best placemat material depends on how you use your table. Cork-backed and hardboard mats help protect the surface from warm plates, vinyl and PVC wipe clean easily for everyday and kids' meals, and fabric or woven styles add a relaxed, textured look. Choose based on how often you use them and the style you want.
What shape and size placemat should I choose?
Rectangular placemats, usually around 30 x 45 cm, suit most dining tables and place settings, while round mats work well on round tables or for a softer look. Make sure each setting has enough room for a plate, cutlery and a glass.
Do placemats protect the table?
Yes. Placemats are designed to shield your tabletop from heat, scratches, spills and water marks, which is especially useful for timber and glass surfaces. Cork-backed and hardboard styles offer the most protection from hot plates and dishes.
How do I clean placemats?
The best way to clean placemats depends on the material. Vinyl, PVC and hardboard mats wipe clean with a damp cloth, fabric mats may be machine or spot washable, and cork, timber and woven styles are best wiped and dried rather than soaked. Always check the care notes on the product page.
