Swooning the outdoors – our top 5 placemats

The concept of summer. For some northern parts of the world, summer is about catching every ray of sunshine and getting the best use of those long summer evenings. For others down south, it’s a matter of sinking into a slower pace and lazier mood. Regardless of where, summertime evokes the urge to expand our living spaces to decks, patios, beaches or simple picnics on the grass.

We’ve selected 5 of the best placemat designs that will carry you through summer parties, should they happen to be at the back of your house or with a jaw-dropping view of the Pacific ocean.

Forever versatile braided round placemat

Yes, we’ve got every color under the rainbow to match your skyline, garden flowers or blend it into the color of your table. It’s easy to be your own designer with our braided placemat – round, square or with intricate detail.  Made of nylon and in nearly 200 shades it takes the best qualities of both, offering practicality, durability, and versatility.

Nautical stripes

The mention of summer often collides with the vision of time spent at the seaside. One great way to create nautical looks at the beachside homes is to pair navy sailor stripes with crispy white linens and rounded wood beads that are reminiscent of the beach pebbles. Add a bright red napkin and some stars – and you will ready for an all-American celebration with fireworks.

It will add all the necessary depth and warmth to your “old buddy.”
