Whether it’s for everyday breakfast, a family meal or an evening with guests, the right placemats give every place setting its own space.
Do you prefer a simple, modern look or something with a distinctive touch? Choose from easy-care plastic placemats, wipe-clean PU leather designs, soft cotton placemats and felt placemats. There’s also a wide range of shapes to choose from, including rectangular, round, oval and organic designs.
Placemats in Different Materials
Material, appearance and care are all important factors when choosing the right placemats. Wipe-clean surfaces make everyday life easier, while textile materials add a different feel to a set table. At kela, the range includes easy-care PU leather and plastic placemats, washable cotton designs and placemats made from polyester felt. This means there’s a suitable option for different needs and dining occasions.

Wipe-Clean Placemats in PU Leather and Plastic
Wipe-clean placemats are especially practical when spills happen during a meal. Models made from PU leather and plastic can be cleaned with a damp cloth, making them convenient for everyday use. These materials also offer a variety of looks, from subtle ribbed designs to a distinctive leather-look finish. The Siena collection shows how a ribbed design can add an extra touch to your table setting.
Cotton Placemats
Cotton placemats add a soft, textile feel and a natural touch to the dining table. The Puro and Tamina collections are made from cotton and are washable. They are ideal for anyone who prefers fabric placemats that can be machine-washed when needed. Fabric placemats are a lovely alternative to smooth, wipe-clean surfaces.
Felt Placemats
Felt placemats create a cosy look with their soft surface. The Alia collection is made from polyester felt and adds a textile option with a different feel from cotton.
To help maintain the material’s appearance, stains should be treated gently and as soon as possible.
Placemats in Different Shapes
The shape of a placemat influences the overall look of your table setting and should complement both your tableware and the available table space. The range includes classic rectangular designs as well as round, oval and organically shaped placemats.
- Rectangular placemats provide a classic surface for plates, cutlery and glasses.
- Round placemats echo the shape of plates and create a harmonious overall look.
- Oval placemats add soft lines to the table and have a more elongated shape than round designs.
- Organically shaped placemats create distinctive accents and add visual interest to a simple table setting.
The best shape depends on the available space, your tableware and the look you want to achieve.
Tip: Round placemats work particularly well on round dining tables, as they echo the shape of the table. On rectangular tables, they can create an attractive contrast.

Choosing Placemats in the Right Colours
Colours influence the atmosphere at the dining table and can either complement your kitchen décor harmoniously or create striking contrasts. When choosing placemats, it’s worth considering the colours of your tableware, furniture and kitchen textiles . Depending on the shade, your table setting can look calm and natural, modern or full of life.
Natural Colours for a Calm Atmosphere
Beige, cream and warm sand tones work particularly well with light wood furniture, natural materials and understated interiors. They create a subtle look and are easy to combine with other colours. Grey and anthracite placemats complement modern kitchens with clean lines, dark accents or stone-effect worktops.
Colourful Placemats for Fresh Accents
Green adds a natural touch to the table and works particularly well with wood, white and earthy tones. Pink and soft pastel shades create a light, friendly feel. Mint and light blue bring a fresh, airy atmosphere and complement bright interiors. These colours are also an easy way to introduce new accents without having to change the entire table setting.
Combining Contrasts and Trend Colours
Black placemats create a striking contrast with light-coloured tableware and complement modern, minimalist interiors. For a bolder look, combine vibrant colours with neutral tones. Current trend colours can also be incorporated into your table setting this way, without making the overall look feel too busy.
For a harmonious result, pick up colours from your tableware, napkins or other table accessories. If you prefer contrasts, try pairing light-coloured plates with dark placemats or adding a few bold accents to a neutral colour scheme.
