Selecting Your Gray Placemats

With so many design options available, discovering the best one to suit your dining room is all about looking at the features of the design, including:

• Solid vs. Pattern: As you start to check out the myriad of options, think about whether you prefer the simple sophistication of a solid placemat or prefer the captivating beauty of a placemat featuring a bold pattern. There are even some seasonal designs intended to bring a festive update to your table for a special occasion.
• Color: Even within the gray color family there are many different color tones and accent colors featured. Consider the overall design style of your kitchen and dining room while making your selections, as well as the color scheme of any special event you're hosting.
• Material: As you narrow down the options to a few of your favorite designs, check out the material and any care instructions for the placemats you're considering.
• Quantity: Finally, think about how many people you typically serve and the maximum capacity of your dining table. Determine how many placemats you'll need and possibly throw in one or two extra just to be safe.
