Round and rectangular placemats can both work on many dining tables. The best choice is usually the shape that gives your plates enough room while supporting the table style you enjoy.

Choose rectangular for structure

A rectangular mat creates clear horizontal and vertical lines. Rumiloo rectangular styles measure 45 × 30 cm, approximately 17.7 × 11.8 inches.

Choose round for softer lines

A round mat visually centers a plate and can soften an angular table. Rumiloo round and scalloped-round styles measure 38 cm, approximately 15 inches in diameter.

Consider oval or scalloped alternatives

Oval placemats provide the width of a rectangular style with rounded ends. Scalloped mats introduce a decorative edge without changing the verified 38 cm diameter.
