Stain Resistant Placemats

Stain-resistant linen placemats made in Italy

Stain-resistant linen placemats made in Italy offer a practical way to enjoy the texture and appearance of natural fabric at an everyday table. The linen is given a protective acrylic finish that helps reduce immediate absorption and makes food or liquid marks easier to remove.

Unlike placemats made entirely from plastic, these designs retain a textile base and the visual character of linen. Place them directly on wood or layer them over a solid tablecloth to define an individual setting for each guest.

What is an acrylic-coated linen placemat?

An acrylic-coated linen placemat is made from linen fabric with a protective surface finish. The coating helps prevent everyday spills from penetrating the fibers immediately, allowing the surface to be cleaned with a damp cloth.

The treatment should not be interpreted as a guarantee against every possible stain. Spills should still be removed promptly, and care instructions should always be checked on the individual product page.

Printed, solid and two-tone designs

The collection includes printed coated linen placemats, understated natural designs and two-tone styles finished with contrasting cord.

Ibisco, Limoncello, La Vie En Rose and Rio introduce floral, citrus and botanical patterns. Onda, Celadon and Cordonetto focus on the texture of linen, colored borders and quieter combinations.

Some printed designs are cut from continuously patterned fabric. Each placemat may therefore show a slightly different section of the print. The colors and motifs remain coordinated, but no two pieces need to be exactly identical.

Round and rectangular stain-resistant placemats

The collection includes round and rectangular stain-resistant placemats, together with selected oval designs.

Verified sizes include:

• rectangular: approximately 16″ × 19″ or 40 × 50 cm;
• round: approximately 15″ or 39 cm in diameter;
• oval formats in selected designs.

Exact dimensions, colors and finishes are provided on the individual product pages.

Wipe-clean linen placemats for everyday dining

Wipe-clean linen placemats for everyday dining work especially well at breakfast, informal lunches and family dinners. They provide a practical alternative to covering the entire table while still bringing the color and texture of Italian table linen to each place setting.

These easy-care placemats for kitchen tables can also be used for meals on terraces, covered patios and verandas. The protective finish does not necessarily make them suitable for permanent outdoor exposure, so they should be stored indoors after use.

How to clean coated linen placemats

For everyday spills, wipe the surface promptly with a soft damp cloth. Avoid allowing food or liquids to dry on the fabric.

For deeper cleaning, follow the instructions provided for the individual design. Different prints, borders and finishes may require different care.

“Stain resistant” means easier to maintain; it does not mean completely stain proof or maintenance free.

How to style them

Stain-resistant placemats with linen napkins create a useful balance between easy care and natural texture. Match the napkin to one of the colors in the border or print, or choose quiet shades such as cream, natural linen, clay or grey.

Floral and Mediterranean patterns can be paired with green, yellow, raspberry or terracotta napkins. Two-tone placemats work especially well with a matching cord and napkin for a calmer, more contemporary table.

La Bottega di Casa

La Bottega di Casa creates and selects table linens that combine natural fabrics, color and careful finishing. The coated linen placemats in this collection bring that approach to everyday dining, offering easier maintenance without giving up the character of fabric.
