Do you use placemats and cloth napkins on your table?

Answer 1

They go so well with my paper plates.

Answer 2

They do not have to be the same color whether setting with placemats or a tablecloth. But you certainly can match them if that is the look you are going for. You can choose coordinating colors in solids or choose a print napkin that picks up the color of the mats or tablecloth. A patterned place mat or tablecloth can show well with a coordinating solid napkin. Your navy napkins would look better against a placement that has more gray. Taupe can show way too brown. You can also look at a cream color or even a soft yellow. If you wish a patterned mat than make sure the navy is somewhere in the pattern. Unless your plates are plain white, their color or pattern also determine what linen colors you need.

Answer 3

Just placemats to keep hot food off tabletop surface.

place mats and paper napkins and a pillow case on the lap when something is extra drippy. sometimes tucked under the chin.
