The design of a table can be completely transformed with just a change in the color of the placemats. We often underestimate the power of these “small” decorative elements, but their influence on the aesthetics and ambiance of a table is impressive.
In this post, we will focus on one of our best-sellers: the embroidered linen placemat from the Valver collection, which always looks great on the table and fits well with all types of tableware.
The Magic of Colors
Each color has its own character and can evoke different emotions and sensations. The same placemat can vary greatly in the style it gives to the table simply by changing the color of the linen it’s made from or the color of the embroidery threads. Imagine a single, simple, and elegant placemat design. Now, imagine that design in a variety of colors:
- Vibrant Pink: Brings energy and vitality to the table. Ideal for festive dinners or lively gatherings.
- Serene Blue: Invites calm and relaxation. Perfect for a quiet breakfast or a family dinner.
- Fresh Green: Connects with nature and gives a sense of freshness and renewal. Excellent for outdoor lunches or summer dinners.
- Natural White: Fills the space with light. Fantastic for a brunch with friends or a sunny breakfast.
- Chocolate Brown: Adds a touch of elegance and modernity. Ideal for formal dinners or special events.
How to Choose the Perfect Color
Choosing the color of your placemats can depend on several factors:
- The Event: Consider the occasion for which you are setting the table. Bright and cheerful colors are perfect for celebrations, while neutral or dark tones work well for formal occasions.
- The Environment: Observe the predominant colors in the area where you will set the table. If the decor is neutral, a splash of color in the placemats can make a big difference.
- The Season: Some colors are more associated with certain seasons. Warm tones like rust are perfect for autumn, while fresh colors like blue and green are ideal for summer.
Experiment and Have Fun
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different colors and combinations. You can even mix and match placemats and napkins of different colors to create a dynamic and personalized effect. The key
is to have fun and let your creativity shine. If you follow your instincts, you’re sure to create the perfect table setting.
The design of the placemats is just one part of the equation; color plays a crucial role in creating the desired atmosphere. By changing the colors, you can completely transform the style and energy of your table, making each meal a unique and special experience.
So, the next time you think about updating your table, remember:
A single design can offer a world of possibilities just by changing the color!
