Table Mats

Table mats, also known as place mats or serving mats, is a flat piece of any soft material used on a dinning room table. Food plates and hot dishes are kept on table mats. The purpose of using them is to protect the table from spoilage and spillage.

Table mats are used to decorate and enhance the look of your table. They can give your table any kind of look you want. For example, festive designs for festivals, animal designs for kids, and contemporary designs for a cocktail gathering.
