For some of us, setting the table for a big family dinner, intimate gathering or a potluck party can be a fun and rewarding task. From laying the tablecloth or runner atop the table to adding in the finishing touches such as place cards or a centerpiece, the art of setting the table is all about the balance of color, patterns and decorative accents. It should maintain a festive look yet leave enough room for food platters and bowls containing all of your culinary creations.

So if you're in the market for some new table linens or are looking for a great addition to a gift for a special someone, peruse our collection of blue placemats and get ready to discover a design that's just right.

The Placemat's Place

Let's face it: one of the main components of a perfectly set table is the placemat. Set atop the tablecloth, the placemat plays an important role on the table, providing a spot where the main dinner plate can rest. Not only does it show off the plate, the placemat also helps keep things neat and tidy by absorbing any spills or crumbs that might damage the tablecloth or table itself.

What Kinds of Blue Placemats Are Available?

Add a splash of color to your tabletop when you peruse the collection of navy blue placemats from Williams Sonoma. This vast and varied selection features placemats crafted from top-quality materials in both striking patterns and textured solid hues. Here's just a sneak peek of what's on offer right now:

• Patterned. Choose from some bold and intricate patterns such as florals, geometric ikat, French Provencal motifs, Italian-inspired designs and colorful stripes.
